I've loved reading since I was a wee one and have been trying to keep up on it. I'm particularly interested in classic books, gothic romance (think Rebecca/Jane Eyre) and thrillers.

reviewed And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None (2004, St. Martin's Griffin)

And Then There Were None is a mystery novel by the English writer Agatha Christie, …

Classic mystery, well done

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Agatha Christie did a great job of creating an atmosphere of tension and suspense. I definitely didn't guess the mystery, and it all tied together well.

reviewed The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

Alex Michaelides: The Silent Patient (2019)

TLDR: it's not great

The main character is hard to maintain sympathy for, and the story is continually unbelievable. Based on the premise, I thought I'd enjoy it more but ultimately ended up disappointed.
