I managed to get through 15 books in February mostly, it has to be said, because of blog tour deadlines. Links from each title will take you to my review. You can find a list of the books I’ve read so far in 2022 here. If we’re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.
The Silver Wolf by J. C .Harvey (Allen & Unwin) – A rip-roaring adventure story set in the period of the Thirty Years’ War with a fabulous central character who’s a sort of 17th century James Bond.
The Porcelain Doll by Kristen Loesch (Allison & Busby) – Spanning decades of Russian history from 1915 onwards, an epic story of betrayal, loss, sacrifice and the sheer will to survive against seemingly insurmountable odds, as well as a heart-breaking love story.
The City of Tears (The Burning Chambers #2) by Kate Mosse (Pan Macmillan) – A deliciously satisfying historical fiction novel set in France during the Wars of Religion with a thrilling and dramatic climax.
The Mirror Game by Guy Gardner (The Book Guild) – An extremely well-crafted and ingenious historical crime mystery with a plot that moves along in double quick time and has more twists and turns than a corkscrew.
Unhinged by Thomas Enger and Jørn Lier Horst (Orenda Books) – A compelling crime novel with a deliciously complex plot, its relentless pace making it the perfect one sitting read.
