Book Review: Gone in the Night (Alex Devlin) by Mary-Jane Riley


Title: Gone in the Night (Alex Devlin) 

Author: Mary-Jane Riley 

Stars: 4

Review:
This is the first time I have read a book by Mary-Jane Riley. The author uses different view points from different characters in the story.  Readers will not be trusting any of the characters even Ale as the story moves forward. Page after page will have readers questioning who is who.  The author uses twist and turns to confusing readers. Readers will end the story having it all tied up in a nice little bow.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Killer Reads for the advance copy of Mary Jane Riley Gone in the Night.

About The Author:
Mary-Jane Riley
Mary-Jane wrote her first story on her newly acquired blue Petite typewriter. She was eight. It was about a gang of children who had adventures on mysterious islands, but she soon realised Enid Blyton had cornered that particular market. So she wrote about the Wild West instead. When she grew up she had to earn a living, and became a BBC radio talk show presenter and journalist. She has covered many life-affirming stories, but also some of the darkest events of the past two decades. 

Then, in true journalistic style, she decided not to let the facts get in the way of a good story and got creative. She wrote for women’s magazines and small presses. She formed WriteOutLoud with two writer friends to help charities get their message across using their life stories. Now she is writing psychological suspense, drawing on her experiences in journalism. She has three grown-up children and lives in Suffolk with a golden retriever and her television journalist husband.
