Korte biografie: AJ Waines is a Crime Fiction Author specialising in Psychological Thrillers.

As a Psychotherapist, working with ex-offenders from infamous high-security institutions, AJ Waines knows a thing or two about the criminal mind. She draws on over fifteen years of experience as a therapist where this exclusive and privileged role has given her a rare insight into abnormal psychology.

She writes about the extraordinary predicaments and traumas individuals have to face - particularly ‘crimes of passion’, hidden motives, family secrets and moral dilemmas. The author loves secrets and anything hidden under floorboards.

THE EVIL BENEATH will be released in translation, as RESSAC MORTEL, (as an 'Avant Premiere' novel through French bookclub, France Loisirs, in late summer 2013 and then with publisher, Editions Les Escales, 2014). Translations of both books will be available in Germany (2014 onwards) through a two-book publishing deal with Random House (Germany).

Lost In The Lake (Dr. Samantha Willerby #2) door A.J. Waines

It wasn't until I finished the book that I realized that this was book two in a series. Yes, I have a short memory, but in this case did I not read up on the book before I started the book. The less I know about the book the better, and since I had forgotten what the book was about (lots of book in my head, hard to keep track on them all) did I start to read this book without having a clue about the story. And, I loved not knowing a thing about the story nor its characters. I was intrigued by the story, sure right from the start did I mistrust Rosie and I was worried about Sam who after an incident the year before with a patient was vulnerable. And, Rosie, her behavior through the book was very suspicious.

Lost In The Lake is a great book, I loved reading about Sam and her troubled relationship with her sisters and how Rosie started to insinuate herself into Sam's life. And, then we have the mystery with the accident when all people in the car drowned except Rosie, was it really an accident?

Now I'm quite eager to read the first book in the series and I'm looking forward to the next one after this one!

I want to thank the author for granting me a copy of this book for an honest review!… (meer)

Girl on a Train door A J Waines

I think I might actually like this more than the other "Girl on a Train". Some parts were a bit predictable but generally, a good easy read.

Girl on a Train door A J Waines

I mistook it for the similarly named novel, and since it was available through KU (kindle unlimited), I downloaded it.

Now, I don't know about its namesake, but this book is really good. Great suspense, fantastic characters, believable plot.

Lots of twists and turns, and the answer to 'whodunnit' came as quite the surprise!

I don't know whether any sequels are planned, but I could imagine reading more by the author in any case.
