All That’s Left Unsaid
by Rowena Holloway

This book had me hooked from the beginning and kept me enthralled through the entire story!! I liked Harriet from the beginning, she is a strong, independent woman who is just trying to help her mom in hopes that it will help their relationship. What she didn’t bargain for was everything she was going to encounter when she gets to Italy. This book is full of danger, suspense, twists and turns. I could not put this book down until I got to the last page because I needed to know what was going to happen next. The author did an exceptional job with this book and it is a must read!! I highly recommend this book.

This is a psychological-suspense thriller that I loved. I was pulled right into the story from the beginning. It had me sitting on the edge of my seat and kept me turning pages until the end. The twists and turns were engaging and left you guessing on what would happen next. Lincoln and Mina have great attraction but there is a mistrust between them especially when a dead body is found. Realistic characters in a great story that you will want more from. A must read.

Pieces of a Lie
By: Rowena Holloway
5 out of 5 stars

I found the story Pieces of a Lie by Rowena Holloway a wonderful book to read. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a story that had me at times turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. You will find yourself glued to the pages. There is mystery, danger, along with some twists that I did not see coming. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Detective Lincoln Drummond and Mina Everton. Lincoln finds himself disgraced and sent to a small Australian town. He finds that he is unwelcome and sometimes he finds open hostility. He is on a case that involves antique robberies. When he meets Mina, he believes that there will be a quick ending to the case and his career will be back to normal. What he doesn’t expect is the strong attraction that he has for Mina. Mina is a woman who is haunted by her past. She lives each day with memories and guilt. Now a detective shows up and she finds herself a suspect in crimes that are being committed. She also finds herself strongly attracted to Lincoln Drummond. Is Mina involved with the antique robberies? Why is she associating with Slab Carlson, a crime boss? What does the future hold for Lincoln and Mina? Read this book to find out. The story is suspenseful and romantic. It takes you on a non-stop ride that doesn’t end until the book does. I enjoyed reading about many of the additional characters that are introduced. There are also characters that I wondered about what their true motives and agenda are. The story has times that are sad and had my emotions going up and down. If you love mystery and suspense this is a book that I would recommend reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Be prepared to take a breathtakingly beautiful trip to Positano, a city on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, with Harrie (Harriet). Rowena Holloway has written this positively perfect suspenseful story guaranteed to make you feel as if you have truly jetted across the seas with the character and thrust into this dramatic and suspenseful mystery she is trying to solve. This novel seriously has it all and in the right proportions! Drama, suspense, mystery and intrigue are laced with hints of romance and a hunky Italian man to sweep you off your feet. I won’t go into details on the way things become such a twisty suspenseful read because frankly that would ruin it and I can’t bare to do so. The cover promises family secrets set to become exposed and that is truly the best way to sum this up. So prepare yourself a nice glass of wine and slip away to Italy. I guarantee you it will be a fabulous adventure you won’t regret taking! I personally can’t wait to see what else is to come from the ever talented Rowena Holloway. I know I will for sure scoop it up asap! Happy reading!

All That’s Left Unsaid by Rowena Holloway is a fantastic mystery- full of secrets, suspense, drama, a complicated mother/daughter relationship, manipulation, truth, tangled threads, surprises, clever twists, and great characters.
I have read a few of Ms. Holloway’s books now and have learned that she knows how to tell a great story, which pulls me in and keeps me hooked right till the end- and this book was no different. With this intriguing mystery unfolding against the picturesque back drop of Positano, Italy- giving the story some added richness, and an extra element of interest.
Harriet Taylor is a journalist who has been working in London. When her mother falls ill, she flies home to help care for her. Her mother confides that she is concerned about a friend of hers in Italy- especially since an unidentified skeleton had been found. Her mother is certain it is the remains of her friend. So, with this revelation, and more than a little curiosity, Harriet sets off to Italy to do a little digging into the case. But Harriet will have to dig deep and utilise all her investigative skills, especially when the locals are less than forthcoming- if she’s ever to uncover the secrets that have been kept for so long. When strange things start happening, Harriet wonders how far she’s willing to go to get to the bottom of it all. What does she discover? It’s well worth the read to find out!
Interesting and intriguing!

Thank you, Ms. Holloway!

All That’s Left Unsaid is a mystery by Rowena Holloway that keeps you guessing to the last chapter! It is the first book I have read by this writer so I didn’t really know what to expect. I got intrigued by the synopsis and decided to take a chance and I do not regret it! This story is so worth taking a weekend!
The writer gives us Harriet who is estranged from her mother and who heads to Italy after her mother thinks that the bones found in a cave are of her friend who has been missing for thirty years. We have secrets and twists and turns and a bit of romance sprinkled into it all … The writer is taking Harriet on a journey of discovery and we are going along, willingly … I love the way the spins the story, the way she describes it all, you can simply close your eyes and picture it!

When I picked up this book I expected to be taken in my the mystery and the intrigue. What I didn’t expect was to find such a well written story with such detailed characters. The story was full of the twists and turns that I expected but I found myself connecting with Harriet more than I thought I would. She goes on such a journey through this book and you are able to experience it all with her.
The author keeps a great pace as well. She builds the suspense and keeps the story moving without it being too fast or complicated.
This is an overall well written and enjoyable book.

The story All That’s Left Unsaid by Rowena Holloway is a thrilling mystery book that kept me guessing to the very end. It is a story that pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until the final page. It is a book that has danger, mystery, and suspense. I enjoyed reading about the character of Harriet Taylor. She is intelligent, beautiful, and independent. She wants to reconcile with her estranged mother so at her mother’s request goes to search for an old friend. What unfolds will bring along many questions and too few answers. Will Harriet find her mother’s friend? As she searches for the truth, she finds many secrets and revelations that others want to remain hidden. How much danger is Harriet in? What does the future hold for her? Will she find herself also caught up in romance? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about Harriet with each chapter of the story that I read and wanted her to find both the answers that she seeks and happiness. The story had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I also was turning pages to find out what happens next. Don’t miss out on a story that will take you on a wild ride of twists and turns which doesn’t stop until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Less You Know is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes by Rowena Holloway. This gripping psychological suspense was another thrilling page-turning read. The author has this method to keep the reader engaged in the story with the perfectly tuned details. I enjoyed the character growth seen in Charlotte from the previous book in the series. The additional characters shared in this second novel, such as Allie, were wonderful. I thoroughly loved the suspense, the mystery in this story. It was filled to the brim begging me to continue to see where the author was leading me and the characters. I typically am not one to read these type of stories, but Rowena Holloway has woven a compelling story within the series that is a must read for any suspense lover.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Less You Know is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series. It is left open for the story to continue. I recommend reading the first book to get a solid background on the characters and the events that led up to the second book.

Less You Know is all over the place, and not in a bad way. The author has written the story in such a way that it keeps you guessing. Characters coming at you from all sides and misdirection (or is it?) keeps you hooked.

If you read the first book you will understand why I say this: at one point while reading Less You Know, I wanted to smack Charlotte and ask her what she was thinking. I mean, seriously. Oi vey! But that is part of the entertainment, watching the characters do both expected and unexpected things. After the developments in this book, I find myself liking Garner a little bit more. And Piers…what an (insert a colorful expletive here). Of course, with the way these stories are written, who knows how things will play out. I might end up changing my mind about any or all of the characters.

Intense. Suspense. Drama. Unanswered questions. Must have answers! Looking forward to the next book. (There better be a next book, lol)!

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

LESS YOU KNOW is book 2 in the “Ashes to Ashes” Series and I’m not really sure it should be read as a stand-alone. There are a lot of references to book 1 AND if you aren’t used to the writing style AND lost on plot points, I think it would be a less enjoyable reading experience for you – and let’s face it… the point of reading is to have the best experience possible.

This is a multi-layered story with different threads that run throughout. It’s a mystery/suspense with twists and turns along the way. It’s one of those stories that I thought I had a handle on and then *poof* oh wait, there is something I missed. The story is fluid and, like with book 1, the timeline is well defined and told from multiple POV. Several times, I had to look back at the chapter headings to figure out what time it was and whose POV I was reading.

I’ve enjoyed watching the MC grow and find her voice and I would recommend this series (read in order, of course).

Four Stars

Confused doesn’t even cover how I feel after reading this story. The author truly played with my head on this one. So many questions I need answered. Allie’s character was the most mysterious. The circumstances surrounding her and her past. I wasn’t a fan of Charlotte, she is selfish and greedy. Man the way this story plays out isn’t how any one would guess. I can’t really write some stuff because I want the suspense to get you. The story was very compelling and showed a need for better mental health. Allie has issues and someone should’ve noticed. Overall I liked this story and hope that it doesn’t really end like this. My mouth dropped at the last line of the page and I’m excited to see what is next. So many unknown factors.

I give Less You Know: gripping suspense (Ashes to Ashes Book 2) by Rowena Holloway, 4 stars.
*This review may contain spoilers from book one of the series.*

Charlotte is still feeling the loss of her mentor and the murder of the man that could have broken a story wide open for her. But she has gained a really good friend and things are going well with her boyfriend. That is until she decides to change her plans over Christmas. She goes off with her boyfriend and blows off the dinner she was supposed to attend at Allie’s. Biggest mistake of her life. After not hearing from Allie for a few days afterwards, she goes to her place, only to find it ransacked and Allie missing. Is this all tied to the man she had been investigating? Or is there more to Allie than what appears? Is Charlotte in over her head?

This is a great book full of suspense. Charlotte has grown since book one, and it is great to see her come into herself more. Plus we learn more about who she really is and her past. Plus we learn so much more about Allie. She was introduced to us in book one, but this book is all about her. As fitting for the series, there is so much going on, you won’t get all of the angles until the very end. It keeps you in the edge of your seat. It is not necessary really to read book one, but you will understand more if you do.

If you are a fan of suspense and strong female characters, this book is for you.

Less You Know: gripping suspense (Ashes to Ashes Book 2) by Rowena Holloway ​is the second book in the series and you really need to read Bad Things Happen, the first book in the series as it lays the groundwork for this book. Less You Know is a psychological thriller that is dangerous, full of secrets and suspense and is full of many twists and turns that you don’t know what is going to happen, even when you think you do. Rowena’s skillful writing takes you on a gripping journey where you don’t know who is who and what is what.

Charlotte Ashe once again finds herself in the thick of things when her friend is missing. Investigating is in her blood but at what cost. The closer she gets, the more she finds out and the more danger she is in, shows just how much she doesn’t know who her friend is and the many secrets she holds.

a great read about truth. After the events of the last book, Allie is eager to spend Christmas with friends. But it all goes wrong with a knock on the door. Charlottes life is turned upside down when Allie goes missing and fears for her safety. Desperate to find her charlotte must uncover some seceets totry and find her friend. Can she discover the truth before its too late?
a great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Although i did find the Tyrone Garned subplots distracted the narrative from the search for Allie at times but it does make sense in the end. Well developed characters like charlotte standing up for herself but concerned for her friend. i loved how the sequel was more about Allie, to flesh out this character from the first novel as shy and reserved but more to her than it first appears.
i loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the senseof Christmas with the lights and tree and also the smells of cake and sounds of music for a warm feel that can also hide dangers perfectly writfen. The use of suspense was drawn out to perfection as you raced to solvefhe myserty and find Allie with Charlotte,. The switch of perspectives worked well once again to display both sides of the stroy and was easy to follow. The times and dates for each chapter werea a great addition once again and helped to fuel the fast paced feel of ghe novel and time fo find Allieslipping way quickly. Fast paced actions and high stakes made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and i eould givd it four stars.

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes Book 2) by Rowena Holloway was a gripping suspenseful read, that had me on the edge of my seat.

Wow, I was pulled in again by this talent author I was held captive by this heart pounding read. The twist, turns and plot bombs did a number on my nerves! At times I had to put this book down so I could regroup before diving right back into this mess of mystery. Before I get to much into this review, this is book two, and I highly suggest reading book one, as there are of course spoilers in this one, and much needed background info on our MC.

I don’t want to give anything away, and any bread crumbs might spoil this thriller for you. So I will tell you that the writing is on point, the detail is rich and engaging and the tone, it takes you in this dark almost edgy place, that you can’t help but feel like you’re being watched. It matches the setting of this read, and frankly I have nothing bad to say.

Overall this multi layered, feels ripping read will, as I have said, capture you. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that this book will have you on the edge of your seat, flipping pages to see what will happen next

Happy Reading

Less You Know is the second book in Rowena Holloway’s Ashes to Ashes series. I have to admit I was biting at the bit to read this story. I will warn you make sure you read Bad Things Happen as this is the first book in the series and it lays the ground work for Less You Know. Rowena Holloway has a way of weaving a web of a story because one never knows what is going on until you are in the web. This is a psychological thriller, suspense, danger, secrets, and lots of twists and turns. There were several times that I was totally off base in my thinking and replayed the story in my head to just imagine what happened. That to me makes the story a great read. If you can be directed in one way of your thoughts of what is going on just to be slapped in the head because you totally missed it makes me seek out other stories by Rowena Holloway because she ranks high in my author’s I love.

Briefly Charlotte Ashe is up to it again. She is investigating again this time with her friend Allie. Charlotte did not realize there were secrets in Allie’s life that come out and takes Charlotte back. Charlotte does not know what to do but she is sure of one thing, she needs to find Allie and get everything out in the open.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Less You Know is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series by Rowena Holloway. This is quite a gripping suspense, with drama, mystery, danger, secrets, action, discoveries, twists, intrigue, and lots of tension.
We met Charlotte Ashe in the previous book- and once again follow her on her latest ‘investigation’. Her journalistic senses drive her to try to prove Tyrone Garner, former football star, now turned property developer, and all-round Mr. Popular- is actually a huge fraud.
She, along with her friend Allie, engage in some reconnaissance in order to uncover ‘evidence’. But Allie has secrets of her own, and when she disappears, Charlotte not only feels guilty for placing her friend in danger, but will also need to get to the bottom of everything, putting all the pieces together. Secrets will be revealed. Questions will be raised. Charlotte will be tested, and left questioning everything she thought she knew.
This story is definitely clever, edge of your seat reading. I was immediately hooked and couldn’t put it down until I’d read every word. As I expected, another great read from this talented author!

Thank you, Ms. Holloway!
