Yesterday on Twitter I asked in a poll which book you’d like me to read and review next. Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear or Ghosted by Rosie Walsh, both hot items on the book market, both highly anticipated by book lovers.
Sweet Little Lies will be released on August 14, 2018, but already is gaining momentum on Amazon among readers giving it over four stars out of five. It tells the story of a young London policewoman working on a murder case. The deeper she gets into the investigation the more she believes her estrange father has something to do with it. The book is being marketed as a journey into the protagonist’s dark childhood past that she can’t put away. You can pre-order the book on Amazon for $12.99 on Kindle, Hardcover and Paperback you can expect to pay $26.99.
The other contender in my poll was Ghosted, which was released on May 1 of this year. It has four stars on Amazon and retails for $12.99 on Kindles and $15.99 for a hardcover copy. If you purchase the book today, you can save additional $0.96 with a coupon on Amazon. The book has been hailed by critics as an instant bestseller.

One afternoon randomly flipping through the channel I stumbled on a mini-docu series called ‘The Golden State Killer – It’s Not Over Yet.’ The show was based on Michelle McNama’s newly released true crime book ‘I’ll Be Gone In The Dark.’ A few days later, her book was in my hands and I dived into reading her obsessive search to catch California’s most prolific serial killer, a forty year old case. Listen to the show to find if the book is worth all the hype and your money. …
Since I’m weathering my third winter storm in the past 10 days on the East Coast, that gave me the ideal opportunity to take a much needed break from editing and writing to catch up on reading. I must say ‘The Last Equation of Isaac Severy’ by Nova Jacobs was as delicious as I suspected it to be. The book did not disappoint. …
