The cover of Lullaby is very striking but simple, with an image of a dress not dissimilar to the one which many of us were forced to wear as children. The quote on the cover catches the eye immediately, causing intrigue as to what the book is about – at least it did for me. “The baby is dead. It took only a few seconds.”

56 DAYS by Catherine Ryan Howard
’56 days’ is the first book I have read that is set in this COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, this book puts a magnifying glass on the early days of the pandemic. Catherine Ryan Howard does a great job of capturing the uncertainty and apprehension of that time. While this could potentially be triggering for some readers, in my opinion, it helped make the story even more engaging and realistic.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO by Stieg Larsson
At its very core, ‘The girl with the dragon tattoo’ is a book that is centred on crimes against women. This core theme is woven into a tale rife with financial intrigue, corporate crime, and a murder mystery. Was this overly ambitious for one book? To some extent, yes.
