![]() ![]() So glad I started with ‘Follow You Home’, which was incredible – as were ‘The Devil’s Work’ and ‘The Retreat’. Mark has sold over 3 million books since his first solo novel, The Magpies, was published in 2013 and has topped the bestseller lists numerous times. ![]() And not to be a prude or anything but was it really necessary to the plot to include so many sex scenes between them? To be honest, if this had of been my first read by this author I wouldn’t have been in a hurry to pick up another book by him. Their paranoia, lack of empathy, quick to anger, and bouts of hysteria had me struggling to hold back the laughter, and didn’t endear me to either character. ![]() Even before the harassment escalated, both Jamie’s and Kirsty’s behaviour and reactions, felt off to me. On the plus side, his writing, and plots have drastically improved since he wrote this book, strictly my opinion of course.įurthermore, the characters were a real letdown. The Magpies Series by Mark Edwards The Magpies Series 3 primary works 3 total works Book 1 The Magpies by Mark Edwards 3. I was also left with some unanswered questions, which annoyed me, but they may be addressed in ‘A Murder of Magpies’. In fact I would go as far as to say that there were no twists that weren’t obvious, accept for one satisfying reveal in the last chapter which I thought was well done. A quick read, that did hold my interest, and I liked the idea of ‘Neighbours from Hell’, but it didn’t have the spooky feel, and multi-layered twisty turns that I’ve come to expect from Mark Edwards. Sadly, this was only a little above average for me. ![]()
