Hello! I am Lizzie, and my main joy in life is reading books and thinking about books! I have so many thoughts about each book I read so wanted a place to record these thoughts, and a place where others who are reading the same book as me can share their thoughts about it too. I’ve tried to write my (often lengthy!) reviews of books so it feels like I am chatting with you as we read the book together, comparing thoughts at the end of a chapter and ideas of where the plot and characters may end up, wondering why the author has written a character or scene in a particular way and what they may be subtly trying to tell us about that character or scene. So enjoy reading along with me, and please get in touch, I’d love to be able to discover more about a favourite book from your thoughts on it.

I’m excited about reading this book as I really like Gyles Brandreth when I’ve seen him on TV. I hadn’t realised that he writes detective books too! I have a feeling that I’m going to enjoy his books as I love Brandreth’s use of words, it seems to me like he revels in language and words and description, I could listen to him talk for hours, so I feel sure that he will be a very good author. I realise though, after already purchasing this book, that this is the second one in the series so I wonder if I perhaps should read the first book first, but I can’t bear to wait so I am just going for it! The blurb on the back of this book sounds delicious, that a game is played where the guests each write down the name of a person they would like to be murdered…and then one of the people named dies, eeek! Grab your copy and let’s read it together! Read the full review
