  It's back to Cornwall for a great summer read. Nancy Barone's The Little Cottage by the Cornish Sea was published by Aria on July 3rd. Life doesn't always go to plan . . .

The Murder List by Jackie Kabler #Review

 

Today I am thrilled to be on the first day of the tour to celebrate Jackie Kabler's latest psychological thriller, The Murder List. It was published by One More Chapter on 31st May. 

When Mary receives a blank diary as a present, she thinks nothing of it. Until she opens the diary, and sees it’s not blank after all…

1st January MURDER LISA, OXFORD

1st February MURDER JANE, BIRMINGHAM

1st March MURDER DAVID, CARDIFF

1st April MURDER MARY, CHELTENHAM

Is this some kind of sick joke? But…it’s the end of January now. And a woman named Lisa was murdered in Oxford on 1st January.

Does that mean there really is a killer out there, planning to commit a new murder on the first of each month? And is the Mary due to be killed on 1st April her?

The clock is ticking for Mary to uncover the truth, before she becomes the next victim on the killer’s list…


 My Thoughts

This thriller will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat and takes you on a winding path through some rather dark places. There are some genuine surprises in store and right at the very end yet another shocking twist. You feel Mary's tension throughout in this story which is full of characters who you are not sure about- whose word can be trusted?

    The structure of the story is dictated by the list which is found in a diary which was given to Mary, anonymously. There is a relentless feel to the plot as time ticks on and deaths start to pile up. There are several police investigations to follow and several interesting characters who you look at through Mary's suspicious eyes. Well paced and snappy, you fear for the outcome.

In short: a clever crime thriller full of twists and turns
