When Izzy O’Brien flees the city centre apartment she shared with her controlling partner, she relocates to the seaside town of Dun Laoghaire, and the house she inherited from her aunt.

Isolated and insecure, Izzy is relieved to be embraced by a tight knit group of female neighbours, who invite her to join their book club.

However, the town is not as sleepy as she thinks.

And her ex-boyfriend is not ready to let her go.

My Review

I’m so glad I’m not a member of this book club. I don’t think they ever get round to discussing the books. Too busy with the local gossip. And that’s before things get really serious. We only talk about crime novels and serial killer thrillers at any book club I belong to. We don’t act them out for real – thankfully. At least I don’t.

Izzy O’Brien has been forced to escape from her controlling fiance Adam. She’s fed up with his behaviour – he weighs her every day to check she’s exactly 100lbs. What? I haven’t weighed that since I was 12. He cuts her off from her family and friends. He’s jealous of everyone. Typical coercive control. Luckily she inherited her late Aunt Elaine’s house in the seaside town of Dun Laoghaire, so that’s where she goes.

But as soon as she arrives, she knows Adam has followed her. He’s not going to let her go. She finds companionship over the road at Louise and Robert’s house, where the book club is meeting. Well, Louise is there – Robert has gone to the pub as usual to cause trouble. Then there’s Baxter the Labrador. The poor dog is not responsible for Robert’s behaviour.

However, the book isn’t called The Book Club Murders for nothing. There will be plenty of those to come and plenty of twists and turns along the way. Poor Izzy thought she was getting away to make a new start, but she seems to have gone from out of the frying pan into the fire.

Towards the end the book descends into total madness and mayhem – until then it wasn’t that funny – but all I can say at this point is ‘here’s Johnny?’

Many thanks to @zooloo2008 for inviting me to be part of this blog tour.
