Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme is hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words. The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
Something bad has happened to Alison Taylor.
Her Saturday night started normally. Recently separated from her husband, Ali has been persuaded by her friends to go on a date with a new man. She is ready, she is nervous, she is excited. She is about to take a step into her new future.
By Sunday morning, Ali’s life is unrecognisable. She wakes, and she knows that something is wrong. She is home, she is alone, she is hurt and she has no memory of what happened to her.
Worse still, when she looks in the mirror, Ali doesn’t recognise the face staring back at her. She can’t recognise her friends and family. And she can’t recognise the person who is trying to destroy her…
I’m a big fan of Louise Jensen so I’m really excited to be reading her new novel (thank you Netgallery)!
What did you recently finish reading?
Cemetery Lake begins in a cold and rainy graveyard, where Private Detective Theodore Tate is overseeing an exhumation—a routine job for the weathered former cop. But when doubts are raised about the identity of the body found in the coffin, the case takes a sinister turn. Tate knows he should walk away and let his former colleagues on the police force deal with it, but his strong sense of justice intervenes.
Complicating matters are a few loose ends from Tate’s past. Even good guys have secrets, and Tate thought his were dead and buried for good. With time running out and a violent killer lurking, will he manage to stay one step ahead of the police, or will his truth be unearthed?
Really enjoyed this one! Can’t wait to share my review tomorrow!
What do you think you’ll read next?
When Nora takes the train from London to visit her sister in the countryside, she expects to find her waiting at the station, or at home cooking dinner. But when she walks into Rachel’s familiar house, what she finds is entirely different: her sister has been the victim of a brutal murder.
Stunned and adrift, Nora finds she can’t return to her former life. An unsolved assault in the past has shaken her faith in the police, and she can’t trust them to find her sister’s killer. Haunted by the murder and the secrets that surround it, Nora is under the harrow: distressed and in danger. As Nora’s fear turns to obsession, she becomes as unrecognizable as the sister her investigation uncovers.
I think this will be the perfect long weekend read! Also is it bad that I’m really excited that it is only 240 pages?!

What are your WWW? Have you read The Date, Cemetery Lake or Under The Harrow?

The Date has a very interesting (and scary) concept!

I like the sound of Under the Harrow and, no, it isn’t bad to welcome the fact it’s short…it’s a cause for celebration to my mind! Controversial, I know, but I think a lot of books could probably be 50 to 100 pages shorter with judicious editing and not spoil the story.

The Date is one I had to immediately bookmark, as I loved The Sister and The Surrogate from this author. As I read the blurb, I felt creeped out…and drawn in.
Thanks for sharing, and here’s MY WWW POST
