Xmas Break
by JE Rowney
Xmas Break is a quick paced thriller that I couldn't put down. There is no way I could have spread this out at a chapter a day and winter is the perfect time to pick this one up.
Set in a smart home during a heavy snow storm estranged sisters Isla and Clara and their husbands sit down to a Christmas Eve meal. Tensions run high from the first page and I was gripped by the intrigue of what had happened in the past by the end of the first chapter.
I loved the pace of this book and felt that the story flew as it developed. I would have like to see some of the plot points that were mentioned fleshed out a little more but it's not always possible in a novella.
An easy, atmospheric winter read I'd recommend to thriller readers with a few hours to cosy up and enjoy.
