My Top 10 Books of 2020!

 Hello!

We are nearing the end of 2020 (FINALLY) so it is time for my favourite books of the year. Some are books that have been released this year and some have been on my TBR for ages! I read 75 books this year so I had a lot to choose from.

1. The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton

A murder on the high seas. A detective duo. A demon who may or may not exist.

This book has everything you are looking for in a crime/ mystery novel. I was intrigued from the very beginning and it had the essence of a Sherlock Holmes case which keeps your attention for the whole book as you need to find out what is really going on.

DI Fawley investigates, but there's little he can do without the girl's co-operation. Is she hiding something, and if so, what? And why does Fawley keep getting the feeling he's seen a case like this before?
