REVIEW: Between the Lines by Sally Malcolm

B Reviews / Book Reviews / / / / No Comments

Dear Sally Malcolm, I haven’t (yet) read the first novel in this loosely connected series set in the fictional town of New Milton on Long Island (I think I have the geography right?). It isn’t necessary though as Between the Lines stands alone well. There are brief appearances from the ... more >

Dear KJ Charles, I have had an exceptionally good run with books lately and Band Sinister only compounded my blessings. Siblings Guy and Amanda Frisby live in quiet seclusion in rustic Yarlcote. 20 years earlier, their mother ran off to the continent with their neighbour, Sir James Rookwood. Their father ... more >

Dear Rebekah Weatherspoon, I LOL’d at the cover quote. (For the visually impaired, it says ‘”Gimme!” – People you know on Twitter’). Frankly, I was probably one of them. You’ve described the book, unapologetically, as “fluffy af” and it is. It is very low conflict; Rafe is a good guy ... more >
