But when a handsome client shows an interest in her, Lisa starts daydreaming about sharing her life with him, too. Well, I kind of knew Angela before because we’re in the same school, but we’d never been in any of the same groups so she was only a face in a crowd, like I was to her.
I do want to say up front that this is tagged as romantic suspense but there is only a hint of romance in this and it’s only at the end. The biggest obstacle though, is that this is not a mystery one could plausibly solve before the detectives. I could see a little of myself in her and maybe that was the reason I warmed to her as quickly as I did. I need to get my shit together or it will start to show to the others, or worse, I’ll start letting the club down.She and Matt work well together and both of them cooperate with the chief deputy sheriff who is also the acting sheriff. If a refund is payable to you we will process the refund as soon as possible, and, in any case within fourteen (14) days. Pinborough leaves plenty of little clues along the way (and in fact I think I would like to read this one again just to see what I missed) but, like any good illusionist, she uses this sleight of hand, distraction style technique to lure you into a false sense of security. I was pretty well invested in how it all turned out by the time we got to that moment, wanting to see what was going to happen next.
Sarah was the 2009 winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Short Story and also the 2010 and 2014 winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Novella, and she has four times been short-listed for Best Novel and was shortlisted for the British Book Award for best Thriller. Today on The Tattooed Book I’m reviewing the brand new novel, Cross Her Heart by one of my favourite authors, Sarah Pinborough. Her recent novels include the dystopian love story, The Death House, and a teenage thriller, 13 Minutes which has been bought by Netflix with Josh Schwartz adapting.Every plot twist is shown through at least two characters’ perspectives, hinted at in a sort of bland and overt way by one party and then expanded on by the next. Ange does because her carefully straightened hair starts to frizz as soon as the first drop falls, but unless the sun is properly baking, I prefer spending our lunchtimes indoors.
Lisa also loves her job working in the same office as her best friend Marilyn, who is encouraging her to get back into the dating scene. In a chilling and heartbreaking prologue we meet eight year old Bree Taggert, who is a true Artemis/Diana. But when she gets word that her sister has been killed in a very similar scenario that their parents died in, she has no choice but to go home to Grey’s Hollow, take care of her sister’s two children, and figure out what truly did happen to her.
The secondary characters are not as well-rounded, but the relationships between the characters were believable and not contrived.

I absolutely loved the fantastical Behind Her Eyes and although this one’s more normal (well that’s debatable but it’s not fantasy anyway) it’s brilliant in its own genre. There is a moment where a character is revealed to have been masquerading as two different people, who are two very different ages. With two strong, complex, yet troubled characters in Matt and Bree, the plot is an intense police procedural with a healthy dose of twists and turns, red herrings, and family turmoil that centers around jealousy, obsession, and deceitfulness with just a bit of romance thrown in.
For another, the job she turns out to have been hired for—leading an investigation her new boss doesn’t feel he can entrust to his own force—makes her queasy. A fatal car accident that was anything but accidental has jarred loose a stash of methamphetamines and cash that’s become the center of a battle between the Sons of Freedom, Bakken County’s traditional drug sellers, and MS-13, the Salvadorian upstarts who are muscling in on their territory. But that all comes to a grinding halt when she meets his wife…Adele Beautiful, elegant and sweet – Louise's new friend seems perfect in every way.He’s not handsome in a smooth estate agent way like Toby, all hair product and overpowering aftershave, but he exudes something attractive. He starts to make a plan… I do not want to go into the plot, because that would ruin the story for you, but it is the story of a mother (Lisa) and her daughter (Ava) and what happens to their lives when secrets come out. He’s probably not used to waiting, even though we’ve only been sort of seeing each other a couple of months.
