Review: The Cabin in the Woods by Sarah Alderson - ARC

The Cabin in the Woods by Sarah Alderson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: I received an advanced copy of this book from Avon Books UK via NetGalley.

In a cabin in a wood, A woman by the window stood. Glancing out, she thought she heard. Footsteps, whistling, something stirred. Hiding here, she fears the night, for what’s done in the dark will come to light.

While this book was a fast-paced read and gripping for the most part I also found parts to be rather dull. This is a typical 'nice' husband story coupled with the rich person's ability to get away with pretty much anything they want. A rags-to-riches, life is not fair motif.

Review: A Book Of Murder by Victoria Dowd - ARC

A Book Of Murder by Victoria Dowd
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: I received an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley.

The Smart women wangle an invite to crime-fiction powerhouse Anthony Lovell’s latest book launch, a weekend-long bash at his private island home. They’re ready for an evening of wining, dining, and hobnobbing with the literati. But the trouble is never far behind where the Smart women are concerned. Late that night, Ursula is awakened by blood-curdling screams. Anthony’s been poisoned. By the same rare — and potentially deadly — fugu fillet that was the highlight of the evening feast. One of the guests is a murderer. But who? As the courtroom drama unfolds, and the Smart women are called in as witnesses, Ursula’s convinced there’s more to this murder than meets the eye.

I was so excited about this book when I read the description. I was like 'Oh my god, this will be a fantastic Agatha Cristie-esque book' but sadly the excitement fell short for me. I had a hard time making it through the first few chapters. I thought this book was a snoozer from the start and I could never fully get into the story.
