Last year was a period for some outstanding books that were released; Go As A River <\/em>by Shelley Read<\/a>
particularly pulled at my heart and A Quiet Contagion<\/em> by Jane Jesmond<\/a> kept me racing through the
pages. I\u2019m sure this coming year will be just as exciting in terms of new books being released and I
can\u2019t wait to get my hands on so many of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The List of Suspicious Things <\/em>by Jennie Godfrey<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was lucky enough to be sent an early copy of The List of Suspicious<\/em> Things by Jennie Godfrey<\/a>. I flew
through Miv\u2019s narrative and was taken with how upbeat yet also heartbreaking the story was. Miv is
an innocent young girl who is na\u00efve to what\u2019s happening with her mother behind the scenes – as she
and her best friend create their \u2018list of suspicious things\u2019 of the community around them whilst they
try to expose The Yorkshire Ripper. I truly loved this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mind Hack<\/em> by Stewart McDowall<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


The other book I\u2019m really excited about in 2024 is The Mind Hack<\/em> by Stewart McDowall<\/a>. I\u2019ve read a
previous book by McDowell, Waiting to Go On<\/a><\/em>, and was captivated by the trials and tribulations the
main character \u2013 an aspiring comedian – faced as he tried to advance in his career. The Mind Hack<\/em> is
a complete contrast in terms of genre, and features McQueen, a forensic psychologist turned
detective who appears on a podcast to discuss the dark web of online grooming, where he\u2019s seen as
a threat by a potential predator. McDowall\u2019s writing is fast-paced and I\u2019m expecting to meet some
enthralling characters and clever twists in his latest work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
