@ByClaireWilson 🎉🎉🎉

When you’re supposed to be a writer but have no words. Truly grateful to be offered this opportunity. I will not let you down

The Corpse Light by Lesley McEvoy is a wonderfully atmospheric 5* police thriller, deftly plotted, a compelling read, highly recommend. Full review to follow @LesleyMcEvoy20 @ZaffreBooks

Thank you to those friends and trendsetters who have already managed to pick up a copy of my latest book, The River Runs Red: New Edition. A few lucky bookshops already have copies and it can be ordered via Amazon, Waterstones, etc now. Stock is on its way.

With The Missing Hour Robert Rutherford shows why he is one of today’s top thriller writes, 5* pacey, punchy, adrenaline fuelled, suspense & tension go hand in hand, out now in hardback, it’s a bloody good and entertaining read, review to follow @rutherfordbooks @HodderFiction

@amwbooks Thank you, Andy! Fabulous and great company to be in ☺️

Well that was a stellar months reading

A fabulous review from one of the very best readers! ❤️😁

@amwbooks Wow! Thank you so very much, Andy. I really appreciate you reading me and such a wonderful review. Thank you! 🤩

She’s Not There by F E Birch is a superb 5* crime read, both gritty and compelling, out now, my review ⁦@EffieMerryl⁩ amwbooksreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/28/she…
