Hosted by Lipsy Lost & Found my Wednesday post gives you a taste of what I am reading this week. A similar meme is run by Taking on a World of Words
I am currently reading Angels in the Moonlight by Caimh McDonnell which is a prequel to A Man With One of Those Faces and The Day that Never Comes which was published on 26 August 2017.
For Detective Bunny McGarry, life is complicated, and it is about to get more so.
It’s 1999 and his hard won reputation amongst Dublin’s criminal fraternity, for being a massive pain in the backside, is unfortunately shared by his bosses. His partner has a career-threatening gambling problem and, oh yeah, Bunny’s finally been given a crack at the big time. He’s set the task of bringing down the most skilled and ruthless armed robbery gang in Irish history. So the last thing he needs in his life is yet another complication.
Her name is Simone. She is smart, funny, talented and, well, complicated. When her shocking past turns up to threaten her and Bunny’s chance at a future, things get very complicated indeed. If the choice is upholding the law or protecting those he loves, which way will the big fella turn? Amazon
I recently finished Her Deadly Secret by Chris Curran which had something fresh to offer in the missing child scenario.

THE SECRET YOU CAN’T FORGET
A young girl has been taken. Abducted, never to be seen again.
Joe and Hannah, her traumatized parents, are consumed by grief. But all is not as it seems behind the curtains of their suburban home.
Loretta, the Family Liaison Officer, is sure Hannah is hiding something – a dark and twisted secret from deep in her past.
This terrible memory could be the key to the murder of another girl fifteen years ago. And as links between the two victims emerge, Joe and Hannah learn that in a family built on lies, the truth can destroy everything… NetGalley
Next up I will be reading Persons Unknown by Susie Steiner, the following up to Missing, Presumed, both featuring Manon Bradshaw.
Blurb
Manon Bradshaw is back.
As dusk falls a young man staggers through a park, far from home, bleeding from a stab wound. He dies where he falls; cradled by a stranger, a woman’s name on his lips in his last seconds of life.
DI Manon Bradshaw can’t help taking an interest – these days she only handles cold cases, but the man died just yards from the police station where she works.
She’s horrified to discover that both victim and prime suspect are more closely linked to her than she could have imagined. And as the Cambridgeshire police force closes ranks against her, she is forced to contemplate the unthinkable.
How well does she know her loved ones, and are they capable of murder? Amazon

I received Missing Presumed from NetGalley a while ago and for some reason still haven’t read (well maybe a few pages). I didn’t realise there was a new one out but it sounds really good.

I hope that you will enjoy Persons Unknown. I struggled with Missing Presumed. It was really character-driven and I think I got lost in all the details. Her Deadly Secrets sounds good too.
Enjoy all your books this week. Happy reading 🙂

I have loved this authors previous two books and the contrast with the ‘recent past’ at the dawn of the millennium is a fascinating part all of its own.

Lots of thrillers for you this week! I have to add some light reads in between my darker stories to keep it balanced… With the start of school I have also been drawn to books more easy on the eyes and heart so to speak.

Haha yes I’m always fairly crime heavy but I do enjoy mixing it up from time to time 🙂
