Brief Book Review - Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent

A Brief Book Review of Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent.

Released as a paperback edition by Penguin in the United Kingdom on 28th March 2024.

When Sally's Dad tells her to put him out with the rubbish when he dies she does exactly that and cannot understand what all the fuss is about !

This is a strange tale of a strange girl with a troubled past who is trying to adapt to modern life - part crime , part mystery and part psychological thriller.

#Bookvent – Celebrating my top reads of 2023 My day five #bookvent selection was by a very well established author, but the first one of their books that I read.

But I’d seen that it was pretty popular amongst readers and i do love to ‘discover’ new authors so I got stuck. I’m…

2024 in books: February

This month I have been struggling with insomnia, which is reflected by the fact that I have read eight new-to-me books this month, plus one re-read (continuing my Discworld in publishing order read through), six of which I consumed in gulps to distract me from the fact that it was stupid o’clock in the morning and my brain would not shut off. Of those six, if you enjoy time slip novels with…

Please, Tell Me More: Books Where The Mystery Is Revealed First 

[via Book Riot]

If I handed you a book and said the crime is revealed at the very beginning, you might not want to read it. It is, after all, the mystery — and solving the mystery — which keeps us holding on to a story. And yet, it has been proven time and time again that knowing the mystery is only part of the fun. Seeing the mystery be revealed and explained can be as important in storytelling as knowing the outcome itself.
