Hi, my name is Jo and I love reading which is why I set up My Chestnut Reading Tree in February 2016 so I could share my thoughts about the books I read with the world! I read mainly crime and psychological thrillers but I also love women's fiction...basically I just love a good story and will review most books apart from sci-fi or horror.

Hello! My nom de plume is Raven which is either (a) glamorous and mysterious or (b) a harbinger of doom depending on your viewpoint! In reality I am but a humble bookseller (16 years and counting) and this is a selection of reviews and crime news from one criminally-minded reader to others.
