Other than beauty I am also obsessed with books, I love to read and it's a great way to literally escape and get stuck into another world. One late night I was having a browse for new books (even though I already have books I haven't read at home) and I came across The Works, they have so many books and they have an amazing deal of getting 3 books for £5 so I decided to get 6 books for £10 I mean why not? In today's post, I'll be sharing with you my The Works Book Haul. 

My Lovely Wife 

How well do you really know the person you love the most?

This is a story about a married couple. 
They have a dark secret. 
You might think you've read stories like this before. 
You'd be wrong. 

As soon as I read the back of this book it went straight in my basket! You will probably see a theme with all the books I got in this haul because they are all mystery thriller books which are my favourite. What I loved about reading the back of this book is that it really doesn't give anything away around what the plot of the book is actually about and it made me want to read this book even more. I have read a couple of thriller books with married couples in it and either the husband or wife turns out to be a murderer so I'm interested to see what happens and if this book actually ends up differently. 

RRP £8.99
The Works £2 or 3 for £5

The Holiday 

It was supposed to be the perfect holiday, four best friends and their husbands and children in a luxurious villa under the blazing sunshine of Provence. 

But there is trouble in paradise. Kate suspects that her husband is having an affair and that the other woman is one of her best friends. 

One of these women is willing to sacrifice years of friendship and destroy her family. But which one? as Kate closes in on the truth, she realises too late that the stakes are far higher than she ever imagined. 

Because someone in the villa is prepared to kill to keep their secret hidden. 

The first book that I read from T.M. Logan was The Catch that I put in my 2021 Read List, this book was amazing and I read it in a couple of days because I just couldn't put it down so when I was The Holiday was in The Works 3 for £5 deal I had to add it to my basket. The back of the book got me hooked right away, affairs and murder what could be better? I love books that have loads of twists and turns and The Catch was exactly like that so I have high hopes for this book. I also read a few reviews on this book without trying to get any spoilers and from what I read people loved this book so I'm very excited to get stuck into!

RRP £7.99
The Works £2 or 3 for £5

The Split 

She's got nowhere left to hide.
A year ago Felicity Llyod fled England to a remote island, escaping her past and the man she once loved. Can she keep running her whole life? 

And now he's coming for her. 
Freddie Lloyd has served time for murder - and now he wants her back. Wherever she is, he won't stop until he finds her. Will he be able to track her to the ends of the earth? 

As soon as I read the back of the book I added it straight into my basket and that was without reading any reviews and for me, that is a big deal! What I really liked about this book is that even though it's still a mystery thriller it's a bit different to anything that I've read before. I think there's definitely a theme with the books that I've read as I think all of them involve murder which for some reason I find really interesting and there's nothing better than there being twists and turns in a book and I hope this one grips me from the very begging. 

RRP £8.99
The Works £2 or 3 for £5

Fifty Fifty

Two Sisters on trial for murder. They accuse each other. Who do YOU believe?

'911 what's your emergency?'
'My dad's dead.
My sister Sofia killed him.
Please send help.'

'My dad's dead.
My sister Alexandra killed him. 
Please send help.'

One of them is a liar and a killer. But which one?

How good does this book sound? Even just from reading the back of the book I know I'm going to enjoy it. Whenever I read a book all I want is to be engrossed from beginning to end and I want to finish the book because I need to know what happens but I don't want it to finish because it's so good and I have high hopes for this book. Two sisters being accused of killing their dad and one of them is lying, this really could be a movie that I would watch right now! This is another book that's pretty different from the other books in this haul but still has a crime/thriller theme to it which is definitely my favourite genre. 

RRP £7.49
The Works £2 or 3 for £5

The Couple On Cedar Close 

One sunny afternoon, the residents of Cedar Close throw their annual summer barbecue. Children play in the cherry tree-lined street, tables are laden with food and the wine is flowing. For Laurie Mills, it's her first time meeting the neighbours. and it's the moment she discovers her husband Robert is having an affair.  

Cedar Close has always been a nice place to live - a quiet suburban street where everyone looks out for one another and bad things don't happen. 

Until late one evening. when Robert Mills is found dead in this bedroom.

Downstairs, in their beautiful kitchen, his wife Laurie sits alone in the dark with her head in her hands.

She can't remember the last few hours, but she knows she didn't kill Robert. 

The trouble is, no one believes her...

I decided to add this book to my haul for two reasons, one being that it really sounds like it's going to be an amazing read, physiological thrillers are my favourites and this book sounds like it's going to be a twisty book that will have me second-guessing the truth. The other reason I decided to add this book is that if you liked books like Gone Girl and A Girl on The Train (obsessed) then you will also like this book. Reading some reviews on this book I am so excited to get stuck in, it has been given 5 stars and has been described as an explosive read which sounds amazing. 

RRP £8.99
The Works £2 or 3 for £5

One in Three

Both of them loved him. One of them killed him...

Louise has had to watch her husband. Andrew, start a new family in the four years since he left her. The 'other woman' is now his wife - but Louise isn't ready to let Caz enjoy the life that was once hers, or to let go of the man she still loves. 

As Louise starts to dig into Caz's past, the two women's pretence of civility starts to slip. But in trying to undermine each other, they discover more about the man they both married. 

And when Andrew is murdered at a family party both women are found standing over the body. 

It's always the wife. But which one? 

I love a good whodunit story and this book sounds like it's going to be just that. if there's a book about marriage, adultery and murder I'm probably going to read it and love it. This book has been described to be dark and twisty which is my favourite types of books to read because it makes me not want to put it down. One review said it was more chilling than Gone Girl and more twisty than The Girl on The Train and that's what made me add this book into my basket instantly. I am very excited to get into this book and get shocked by all the twists and turns!

RRP £7.99
The Works £2 or 3 for £5

Pin For Later...

Reading is one of my favourite way to relax, there's nothing better than sitting on a quiet day with a book book and now summer has arrived sitting in the sun is even better. Now that I have so many new books I really don't know where to start, What book do you think I should start with?
