A Saltburn like psychological thriller to keep you guessing

Beautiful People by Amanda Jennings (HQ £16.99, 352pp)

Beautiful People is available from the Mail Bookshop 

This is perfect for JetBlack fans of tales in which the rich and entitled get their comeuppance. Think Saltburn without the bare bottoms.

The story revolves around Victoria, an artist who finds herself reunited with her old university friends at a wedding party. 

As a student, Victoria was determined to reinvent herself and was madly in love with Nick, a boy who opened the door on a world of extravagant excess.

However, the glamour came at a huge personal price and now Victoria has a chance to get her own back.

Jennings creates a believable bunch of characters and a deliciously twisty plot.

 

Till Death Do Us Part by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn (HQ £16.99, 320pp)

Till Death Do Us Part is available now from the Mail Bookshop 

This is a book to read with a glass of wine, not least because you will probably learn a lot about the wine you are drinking.

It’s set in the Napa Valley vineyards in California and the protagonist, June, owns a wine bar in Brooklyn. June’s first husband, Josh, drowned ten years ago on their honeymoon but his body was never found.

She is now with a new man and ready for a new life. Except she thinks she sees her old dead husband watching her, so she sets out to discover if she is imagining things.

Creative storytelling and a quirky plot make this an engrossing read but it might be a little short on big thrills for some fans of the genre.

 

The Commuter by Emma Curtis (Corvus £9.99, 416pp)

The Commuter is available now from the Mail Bookshop

Rachel wakes up from a coma after a car crash with little memory of the recent past, only to discover that her husband has been murdered. 

She is 38 and he is 68 but, despite the age gap, she had thought him a loving partner, until he hit her during a row about his daughter’s questionable lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Rachel is suspected of being involved with his death and it now seems her only memories are flashbacks to meetings with a mysterious stranger.

A delightfully chaotic plot is held together by a down-to-earth writing style.

  1. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
