My thoughts:

Lies at Her Door is a psychological thriller featuring Lucy.  When a sinkhole opens up next door to her house, a skeleton is uncovered.  She soon finds outs he is suspected of causing the death of the person. As she tries to clear her name, she uncovers family secrets that change everything.  This was an OK msytery for me.  I did like this characters, so it had that going for it.  I was also left guessing.  My biggest issue was the pacing.  It felt like it took me a long time to read this book.  I think some of this book could have been trimmed out for a better paced story.  I would recommend giving it a try.

 

Meet the Author:

British crime thriller writer A.A. Abbott (also known as Helen Blenkinsop) enjoys escaping with an exciting and emotional read, and that’s what she aims to write too. Based in the city of Bristol in England’s beautiful West Country, she’s shared her love for the city by writing about it in her latest psychological thriller.

Lies at Her Door is Helen’s ninth book. She’s had help from readers on subjects as varied as police procedure, philosophy and music. She’s grateful to them and to editor Katharine D’Souza for making huge improvements to the story.

Like 10% of us, many of Helen’s family are dyslexic. While she is not, she wants her books to be enjoyed by readers with dyslexia and visual impairment too. She publishes her thrillers in a Large Print dyslexia-friendly edition as well as standard paperback and ebook versions. (You can also adjust the font on your electronic device to suit your needs.)

A member of the Alliance of Independent Authors, Helen likes speaking to book groups, business networks and social circles. She also has fun reading thrillers and short stories at live fiction events and on Zoom. If you're a book blogger, litfest organiser, reviewer or simply adore books, she’d love to hear from you.
