Dead Pretty by Joy Wood- psychological thriller 

In 1977, a group of trainee nurses began work at Harlow Wood orthopaedic hospital and started getting to know one another. When one disappears, could it be it was all too much and they have fled home? When it is found she has really disappeared her friends are more than worried as it's so unlike her. When another one goes missing there is something far more sinister going on and who on earth is doing this?. Occasional chapters give the perpetrators point of view which adds to the tension in this well written thriller. The reader is led to believe who the perpetrator is- or is it just me that thought that?

I was initially drawn to this as I remember Harlow Wood from when I was a child. It’s cleverly written and gives some of the lives of the new intake as things take a chilling turn around them. This is my first book by this author and one I most certainly will look out for in the future- I thoroughly really enjoyed reading this. It's one where you know something is amiss and who it possibly is, it's just the what, when and how that is left to the imagination and adds to the tension. And then the twist- wowsers- I didn’t see that one coming- Left me reeling! A brilliant, cleverly thought out plot that kept the pages turning ever faster. Please sign me up for the next one! Loved it.

Author Bio Joy Wood has worked as a nurse most of her adult life and turned to writing six years ago to ‘see if she could.’ Her earlier work was adult romance and intrigue, but more recently she has switched genres to romance with a crime element. Joy lives in the small but charming seaside town of Cleethorpes in North East Lincolnshire and her writing ideas come from watching the tide turn daily, of course with the obligatory ice-cream – someone has to support the local economy!
