REVIEW: Our Little Secrets by Peter Ritchie (ARC)


Our Little Secrets (Det. Grace Macallan #5) by Peter Ritchie
Genre: Police procedural, Crime fiction
Read: 27th June 2019
Purchase: Amazon
(release date: 27th June 2019)

★ 1 star

When I requested this book, I didn't know that it was part of a series. But that never matters as I still read to enjoy it anyway. However, this book? I simply could not get in to. I found there was way too much description (of which I am NOT a fan but have still enjoyed books that have) and I really couldn't make head nor tail of what was going on. I read a lot of British and Scottish thrillers, so I am used to the talk and some of the slang, but those used here I was completely lost with. It is meant to be a police procedural thriller, but I found it to be mostly about the gangster crime family. And gangsters are not my thing either, which probably didn't help.

The premise for OUR LITTLE SECRETS sounded promising, but in my opinion failed to deliver. But don't take my word for it, as many others have loved the book and given it rave reviews. I just couldn't. And that is just my opinion.

I would like to thank #PeterRitchie, #NetGalley and #BlackAndWhitePublishing for an ARC of #OurLittleSecrets in exchange for an honest review.
