2020 has been one hell of a year so far, and could be a better way to finish it off than staying at home with a good book? Let’s take a look at Under Your Skin by Rose McClelland.

The Book
When Kyle’s wife Hannah disappears, the whole town is out in force to try to find her. One person knows where she is. One person is keeping a secret. Detective Inspector Simon Peters and Detective Kerry Lawlor have been brought in to investigate the case, but Hannah has left no traces and Kyle has no clues. Local Belfast resident Julia Matthews joins the #FindHannah campaign and becomes friendly with Kyle, sympathising with his tragedy. As Julia becomes more involved in the case than she bargained for, she begins to uncover more secrets than the Police ever could. Julia was only trying to help, but has she become drawn into a web of mystery that she cannot escape?
Thoughts on the Book
First of all, I have a lot of love for a book set in Belfast. If you couldn’t tell from my accent (haha!), that is where I am from. Belfast has such a dark and chilling past, it is easy to create a sinister storyline that could possibly be true. Without giving too much away, I will say this- the plot is packed with twists. If you check out the reviews on Amazon, there are plenty of 5-star reviews that praise the story.
Thoughts on the Author
Under Your Skin is Rose McClelland’s fourth book and her first psychological thriller. She has also written two short plays which were performed in the Black Box Theatre in Belfast, where she lives. Find out more at: http://rosiesrag.blogspot.com. Under Your Skin is published by Darkstroke and is available in paperback (£7.99) and ebook (£2.99) at all good bookshops and online booksellers. She loves nothing more than curling up with her cats and a good book. She has two rescue cats – Toots, who is ginger with an inquisitive face and Soots, who is black and hops along on his 3 legs looking ever so cute.
