Halfmoon Lane by Paula Hillman ~ Review & Blog Tour

In this taut new thriller from the author of Chapel Field, one weekend of passion puts a woman at the center of a scandal that threatens to bury her . . .

When a spark ignites, Nina and Gabriel Da Silva, the mercurial busker at Halfmoon Lane, spend one weekend together at Nina’s isolated beachside home. Soon after, Nina receives some terrible news: Gabriel’s body has been found, and she’s been named a prime suspect.

Can Nina ever begin to piece her life back together or atone for her mistakes?

It turns out both conscience and love are heavy burdens, and Nina must learn to lean on the friends she has held at arm’s length . . .

I loved this book! This has been a fabulous poolside read whilst I’m away on holiday and definitely probably the reason I’m slightly sunburned as I was so engrossed in the book!

I loved the fact that it was told from our two main characters points of view; Nina and Holly. You can tell that they are both very independent and almost not used to being close to other people, Nina especially.

I liked how Nina was getting close with Gabriel but I didn’t expect what followed! I liked that we didn’t really know much about Gabriel and how we learned about his back story and Nina’s as they were sharing with each other.

I felt for Holly as she seemed a bit of a loner and standoffish at times but I just don’t feel that she was great with people but those skills developed throughout the book. I did really feel for her though after everything that happened and the wall had been ‘built’.

I loved how it all unfolded and thought it was very cleverly plotted! I liked our supporting characters and what they brought to the storyline too.

I thought it was really well written and found that I couldn’t put it down!
