I am currently reading Dying for Christmas by Tammy Cohen an edgy psychological thriller.
Blurb
I am missing. Held captive by a blue-eyed stranger. To mark the twelve days of Christmas, he gives me a gift every day, each more horrible than the last. The twelfth day is getting closer. After that, there’ll be no more Christmas cheer for me. No mince pies, no carols. No way out.
But I have a secret. No-one has guessed it. Will you?Goodreads
I have recently finished my surprise find for the year, Interlude by Rupert Smith
which is a book about a writer and his secrets. This was an enthralling read set partly in the present by Helen and then across the decades from the 1930’s to the 1960’s by her Grandfather Edward Barton.

Next I am going to read The Perfect Mother by Nina Darnton which I imagine is going to bring out a lot of ‘What would I do?’ moments.
Blurb
When an American exchange student is accused of murder, her mother will stop at nothing to save her.
A midnight phone call shatters Jennifer Lewis’s carefully orchestrated life. Her daughter, Emma, who’s studying abroad in Spain, has been arrested after the brutal murder of another student. Jennifer rushes to her side, certain the arrest is a terrible mistake and determined to do whatever is necessary to bring Emma home. But as she begins to investigate the crime, she starts to wonder whether she ever really knew her daughter. The police charge Emma, and the press leaps on the story, exaggerating every sordid detail. One by one, Emma’s defense team, her father, and finally even Jennifer begin to have doubts.
A novel of harrowing emotional suspense, The Perfect Mother probes the dark side of parenthood and the complicated bond between mothers and daughters. Goodreads
