My fabulous book crush this week is Sticks and Stones by debut thriller writer Jo Jakeman

The image of a broken coffee mug, still with a little bit of coffee inside, lying prone on the counter was what drew me to this cover, and the pop of the pink lettering over the muted grey-blue wash of the image adds even more intrigue!

And behind the mysterious cover is a twisty, new take on the pychological thriller.

Here’s the blurb:

“Imogen’s husband is a bad man. His ex-wife and his new mistress might have different perspectives but Imogen thinks she knows the truth. And now he’s given her an ultimatum: get out of the family home in the next fortnight or I’ll fight you for custody of our son. In a moment of madness, Imogen does something unthinkable: she locks her husband in the cellar. Now she’s in control. But how far will she go to protect her son and punish her husband? And what will happen when his ex and his girlfriend get tangled up in her plans?”
