Rachel (Portsmouth)

Seeking a book club

I'm a 28 year old woman who loves crime, romance and thrillers, but I am always up for trying new genres and authors. My favourite author is Steve Cavanagh. His book "Devil's Advocate" is my go-to recommendation when anyone asks. His work is so well researched and he always keeps me guessing. I went to a talk by him last year and was so interested to hear about his writing process. I also love Taylor Jenkins Reid - Malibu Rising is her best novel in my opinion, followed by the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
