Little Friends by
Jane Shemilt
My rating:
5 of 5 stars
I love a good, well written, well developed domestic noir. And I got this from Jane Shemilt.
I was hooked completely from the start and didn’t want to leave this book alone, so guess what? I borrowed it from my library on audio and took it with me.....everywhere. Loading the washing machine, ironing, cooking, driving......
Then I’d follow it on my book as the narrator read it when I got the chance to sit.
Three families.
All different in many ways.
This story was intense in places and made me react with “what!” Or “ouch” and had me so involved with it.
Some of the characters were ones I’d like to more than kick up the ‘you know what’ and others that I felt for.
This authors writing is just so well done I think. She really can write to make you “feel” things, to react to what you are reading.
She has such style that it just flows. It’s easy to follow although you’re stomach is tied up in knots and you feel tense, that’s a good thing I think!
Reader....
This book builds momentum. It will chug along nicely. There are quite a few people within its pages but you’ll soon get to know whose who, I assure you.
The authors really good at this. I liken it to climbing a hill, scenic and something to look at on both sides then, you almost get to the top and it hits you, hard, the excitement build, you’re heart races and you are full of questions, eager to turn pages.
Jane Shemilt didn’t disappoint me in Daughter and she’s not disappointed me in Little Friends.
You will soon learn why it’s called Little Friends.
Do I recommend this?
Yes 100% if you love a good well written suspense, thriller, psychological thriller and domestic noir.
Actually, strike that! If you like a darn good book to get “into”.
