Cordial Convictions by Kateri Stanley

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Cordial Convictions is book 2, but you can read as a standalone, as I did. This is the thriller genre. The story is written from different points of view, which I thoroughly enjoyed and felt like I got to know the characters better, and it all linked in well. The story is about Marcus, whose son Greg took a weapon to work and killed several people. Marcus was a health professional and did not see his son struggling and has found this difficult, and now he is in a Barbary hospital suffering from amnesia. I found Cordial Convictions sad at times and has great suspense running through the book. I liked how the story went from present to past, it worked very well and is a thrilling read. The story is written elegantly, and I enjoyed the description and detail of Kateri Stanley's writing. I will definitely be reading book 1 and reading more of her books. 4 stars Kateri’s Bio Kateri Stanley is a dark fiction author.

Greg Weaving took a gun to his workplace and killed several of his colleagues, before turning the weapon on himself. A year on, plagued by guilt and humiliation, Marcus Weaving has been nursing a serious case of amnesia at The Barbary hospital. His son's crimes caused a ripple effect in the local community and the media pointed fingers in his direction. As a former mental health professional, how could he not know that his own flesh and blood was planning on committing mass murder? Determined to recover from his public scars and resume civilian life, Marcus is notably distracted by another patient at The Barbary. Lily is a traumatised young veteran suffering from depression and severe PTSD. She is just as intriguing as her beauty is unsettling for him. Marcus observes questionable things happening at the hospital. Being a man of principle, he runs to the most logical possibilities, but even they are failing to alleviate his worries. Lily seems to be a conduit for these bizarre events and they are pulling at a familiar string in his spirit. What should he do? What does this all mean?

Thank you, @HeatherJFitt , for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Escape is set in the Mediterranean about John who has lost his wife and is trying to run away from his sadness and Pain but his life starts to change but not for the better. The descriptions in the book were brilliant. It made me feel I was in the Mediterranean with John. I found the story slow at the beginning but after a few chapters the pace sped up and then I could not put it down. I did feel sorry for John due to him seeing happy couples around him. He was surround in greif and drank to get rid of his pain.Then I felt more bad for him when he ended up in the world of drugs. I wanted to shout at him to run. Entertaining story that will keep you gripped to the end. If you like crime mystery this book is for you 4 stars. That is the question John, a trauma doctor, asks himself over and over as he mourns the death of his wife. Lost and alone, he wanders the streets of a glamorous Mediterranean...
