Young boys are going missing on the Falkland Islands - is there a murderer amongst the islanders? No one wants to believe such a thing possible as they are a close knit group of people. It was nice to see a book set in such an unusual place rather than the large cities we are more used to. There wer...

One of the reasons I love Sharon Bolton's writing is the way she can describe an area so well. What little I knew about the Falklands was about the war, I knew nothing about the island, its inhabitants or its wildlife and I loved learning about it.Little Black Lies takes place in 1994, twelve years ...

So, no Lacey Flint in sight – this is a standalone novel – and whilst I adore the series fiction from Sharon Bolton if this is not the best thing she has written (so far) I’ll eat my hat.Set in the Falkland Islands, a place that the author brings utterly, vividly to life, we find a small community w...

I received this book from NetGalley to give an honest review. Contains Spoiler I literally was on the edge of my seat with this book. You have children missing and no clue who is behind it, but there is more to this book than just missing children. We are told what is going on over a five day peri...

This is an absolutely gripping, emotional, dark and compelling story. The setting is the Falkland Islands, somewhere I know very little about, but it feels realistic and I hope people with more knowledge about the setting would agree. The writing is brilliantly paced and the description of life i...

While this one took a good while to really get going (like half the book) it made up for it at the end. It was definitely a wth moment during the last say twelve chapters. There are lots of suspects in this one and a lot of strange people that could be suspects. However, I guarantee you, you will ne...

I received an ARC copy of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.This is my fourth book by Bolton and I can safely say that I am a fan. Not a cozy writer by any means, her stories are dark and gothic in tone. I also love mysteries (or any novel, really) se...

After finishing this, I don't know whether I need a nap or a stiff drink. If you've read the author's Lacey Flint series, you know she's a master of creating dark, gripping stories with flawed yet sympathetic characters. That continues in this stand alone novel. The promotional blurb gives you the g...
