The Librarian’s Cellar Book Recommendations: My Dark Vanessa

Compelling, yet deeply unsettling! Author, Kate Elizabeth Russell has created a riveting page-turner that depicts an unflinching account of the grooming and manipulation of an underaged girl by an adult male in a role of trust and power. And of the consequences for both of them.The psychologies of both characters are fascinating. This one will linger.

My thanks to Netgalley and Publishers (4th Estate) for the opportunity to read this book, which is due for publication in March 2020.

The Librarian’s Cellar 2020 Book Recommendations: Six Wicked Reasons by Jo Spain

Starting the new year with a plan to keep a ‘Book Diary’ listing all I manage to read this year, though I will only, as ever, blog about the titles I have enjoyed.

First up is ‘Six Wicked Reasons’, another great read from Jo Spain, queen of the ‘whodunnit’! You might think you know who killed Frazer, and some say he had it coming. All of his children are suspects, but the narrative twists and turns so craftily that you only think you know – until the rather satisfying end!

Thanks to Netgalley and Quercus Books for the opportunity to read this latest title from a very accomplished crime author, which is due for release on January 16th, 2020.
