Book Review – DECEPTION

One of my readers gave me a favourable review.

Thank you Merril

This book is the second of “The Belltrees Incident“. The first was itself intriguing and full of twists and turns. Now, the second is so fast paced, engaging and there are more twists and turns. It keeps you guessing until the very last page. Read the two novellas together and you’ll have a cracking journey. Very enjoyable!
5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Belltrees Incident – Book Review

A reader of my book The Belltrees Incident sent me this review. Thank you Joe.

I enjoyed the book. Once I started the suspense kept me reading more and I couldn’t put it down. I would recommend it to anyone who likes reading mystery thrillers.

Book Review

A reader of my book The Belltrees Incident emailed me this favourable review. Thank you Micheline.

Pleased that the style of the writing was not pedantic, it was enjoyable to read and included engaging segments to help the reader visualise the scenes. Introducing chapters from the radio program broadcaster was clever and lightened the mood in the middle of dark moments of the story. 

I also appreciated the length of the book, making it easier to read and not waiting too long before some mysteries were uncovered. Kept me in suspense until the final chapters to reveal the contents of Dr Marinov’s box, and of course, not revealing the fate of some protagonists, such as Susan!… 

If there is a sequel, I’ll be reading it for sure.

Enjoyed reading your latest book “The Belltrees Incident”. I found your book an easy read because you skillfully told an interesting story with an economy of words with each chapter cleverly disclosing an extra clue or detail which kept me turning the page. I cannot wait for your next book. Barbara

Writing

As a writer of adult fiction like cops and robbers, you can always build tension. Setting scenes and establishing motives for older readers provides that opportunity.

Writing a children’s book has to be simple enough for a child to read. It also needs to be engaging enough to hold their attention.

I’ve just finished writing my first children’s book. I sent the draft to my editor.

The Lighthouse!

Life as a freelance journalist is always unpredictable. As Rachel browsed through her emails, the topic line of one email in particular got her attention:

SENSITIVE FILES-CAVES POINT LIGHTHOUSE-12 NOON

Looking at her watch she said, “blast, it’s ‪2 o’clock!.

Sensing a scoop is in the air, she decided it was worth a drive to check it out.

Arriving at Caves Point, she left her vehicle in the deserted carpark. She made her way along the foreshore road. This road led to the lighthouse on the cliff above.

“Hell, I hate heights”, she whispered to herself as she started the steep, awkward ascent. The sound of waves crashing onto the rocks below muffled her heavy breathing and echoing footsteps. 

A chill ran down her spine as she opened the lighthouse door and groped the handrail. The musty smell of mold made her feel nauseous. She looked up at the encircling tower. Then she began to climb the tapered shaped staircase. 

She reached the top of the stairway and paused to catch her breath. Then she turned the rusty old door handle to the lighthouse keeper’s chamber. The creaking of the heavy door unnerved her. The pungent sea spray mixed with stale tobacco heightened her senses. The gust of wind made her both fearful and hesitant. 

She entered and observed the sparse room. It contained an old broken table, a putrid mug, a small envelope covered in dust, and a spy glass. 

Fumbling in her bag for her latex gloves, she quickly put them on and began examining the envelope. Other than an old piece of faded parchment folded neatly in two the envelope was empty. 

“Someone is coming”, she whispered to herself as a man appeared at the doorway. 

With nowhere to hide, Rachel waited for a moment before making a run for it. As he grabbed her they both slipped on the damp floor. Twisting and kicking she managed to free herself from his grip escaping to the outside observation deck via a clanging door.

He followed her outside.  Arming herself with an old chair she swung it in his direction striking his head. Disorientated, he lost his balance and tumbled over the railing. 

Snatching the envelope she fled the room. Rachel’s heavy footsteps resounded the walls as she ran down the stairs. Exiting the lighthouse, she gaped at his lifeless body lying on the rocks. 

The envelope was safely tucked away in her bag. She found her car keys. She shakily started the engine and drove away. 

It was a little after ‪7 pm when she arrived home. Two men suddenly emerged from a car parked across the road. Guns drawn one man stood guard while the other pointed his gun directly to her head. “I think you have something that belongs to me!” he said.

Thank you for reading my blog.

REVIEW

First time reading this author’s work, The Bunker & Deception, and was pleasantly surprised by her ability to tell a good story in a very readable and enjoyable way, particularly with an unusual plot. Looking forward to reading her next work.
