Thrillers.....

.... well, one good thing about being home sick for nearly two weeks is that you get to do a bit of reading!

I have recently finished two thrillers, both of which I can highly recommend as gripping reads.

Firstly, "The Farm" by Tom Robb Smith



"Daniel believed that his parents were enjoying a peaceful retirement on a remote farm in Sweden, the country of his mother's birth. But with a single phone call, everything changes. 
Your mother... she's not well, his father tells him. She's been imagining things - terrible, terrible things. In fact, she has been committed to a mental hospital. 
Before Daniel can board a plane to Sweden, his mother calls: Everything that man has told you is a lie. I'm not mad... I need the police... Meet me at Heathrow. 
Presented with a horrific crime, a conspiracy that implicates his own father, Daniel must examine the evidence and decide: who is telling the truth, his mother or his father? And he has secrets of his own that for too long he has kept hidden..." 
-from the publisher's website.

Here is a review of the novel in The Guardian.

Then I read, "Before I go to Sleep" by S.J. Watson.



"The novel is a psychological thriller about a woman suffering from anterograde amnesia.[6] She wakes up every day with no knowledge of who she is and the novel follows her as she tries to reconstruct her memories from a journal she has been keeping. She learns that she has been seeing a doctor who is helping her to recover her memory, that her name is Christine Lucas, that she is 47 years old and married and has a son. As her journal grows it casts doubts on the truth behind this knowledge as she determines to discover who she really is." - sadly, from Wikipedia (lol!)


.... and here is The Guardian's review.

I can recommend both of them, if you want a good read.

Now, just before I go, a reminder to comment on this post, if you would like to enter the draw for the Travelling Pattern:



Have a great day, everyone,
