 Upon entering 2021, many of us found ourselves in yet another lockdown and if your anything like myself, perhaps filled with a mixed bag of emotions and anxiety. In order to take my mind else where I have emersed myself in novels and self-help books (anything to try to remain positive). I thought I would share a few of my favourites that I have read over the past month.

The first of the D.I Callanach thrillers I have read however will certainly not be my last.

This novel is set in Scotland, mainly in Edinburgh which is why I was instantly captivated by this story as I could vision it unfolding in the city, I call home. Fields tells this chilling story from the perspective of a killer as well as a detective. This book is page turner that I could not put down, in fact I read it in a day!
