My review of Promise You won't Tell?:

This was very different from how I thought it would be but is nonetheless amazing. And FREE on Amazon :) A great crime novel!

My review of In Too Deep:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This was great! I can't believe I'm the only person on here who's read it!

Every Breath You Take

Every breath you take, I'll be watching youuuuu...

Realism in crime fiction is great, and it doesn't get any more real than Sheila Quigley's Lorraine Hunt series.

A Taste for Blood
A new crime/thriller coming out soon, pretty good and with plenty of unexpected twists.

'She was gone, and yet she was more present than anyone else. I'd fallen in love with Amy because I was the ultimate Nick with her. Loving her made me superhuman, it made me feel alive.'

3/5 stars to

'She suddenly realised that it didn't matter. Maybe it wasn't about ever getting over it. It was about finding the truth, getting justice for Clint, stopping worse things from happening. There was no time for self-pity. She had a big job ahead.'

Now You See Me by S.J. Bolton
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

'As she puts the earrings on me, I feel a sense of total peace. And okay, it evaporates as soon as they leave the room and a little speaker on the bed tells me I'd be live in two minutes. But before that moment, I feel valued and loved. Here in a brothel.'

An awesome Jewish murder mystery reviewed and absolutely liked Wedding Wipeout by Jacob M. Appel . No matter what the other reviewers say, I am all for the book and honestly hope another one to come out soon. Check out the book at

A brilliant murder mystery with a hint of romance in it
Mystery romance lovers must try it. Check out my review at Amazon Burning

Crime fiction with a difference when you are up against the Devil himself..

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

is the second in the Ray Gordon mysteries. Another brilliant work by Michael Weitz, this is a notch up from the first book. Totally awesome. check out my review at The Grandmaster's King

is a chess based murder mystery. Do not go by the title of the book. Although the title in itself is not very catchy, the story is irresistible. A completely engrossing tale, it is a must read for all murder mystery / thriller enthusiasts. Check out my review at Even Dead Men Play Chess

Thirteen Suspects by C.M. Okonkwo

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



Check out the complete review at Thirteen Suspects

A sex filled murder mystery. The murdered victim had sexual encounters with 13 females, all of which are described in vivid details in his diary named "YOLO". The detectives investigating the murder comes across this book and thus the 13 characters are placed under suspicion.

The story is a murder mystery for the sake of saying. It is basically an erotic diary of a sex starved hostel guy.

Herbie's Diner by L. Joseph Shosty

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Check out the complete review at Herbie's Diner

It is truly a short read, just some 60 odd pages. The story starts in the middle, where Actor Johnny Hardwood, who is being a detective, is sitting at Herbie's Diner, waiting for a suspect. And then the author takes us on a journey where the action is happening, at the same time, the background is also being described wherever required.

Truly a fun read, especially just a for a couple of hours, as it gets over by then.

The Mystery of the Blue Dolphins by Sandra Baublitz

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Read the complete review at The Mystery of the Blue Dolphins (A Clarissa and Paw Mini Mystery, Vol. 1)


A very short murder mystery but with such an awesome punch which sometimes even a full fledged novel cannot deliver. Clarissa and Paw are absolute lovable detectives. The Saint Bernard Paw is a darling digger and Clarissa is a very intuitive owner. Together, they manage to solve a murder mystery which was considered to be a suicide at first.

Good day all, I am looking to do a review swap for my latest novel. Anyone interested please email me on pessoafenech@gmail.com

Homo Ferus, an action-packed psychological thriller about a feral child raised by dingoes who is forced to come face to face with his humanity. A moral thought-experiment that delves into the nature vs. nurture debate, and, the question of when is it justified to kill.

Many thanks!
