Review for The Craft Room by Dave Holwill: ★★★

The Craft Room by Dave Holwill

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

I was very kindly provided with an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have given The Craft Room 3.5 stars.

I had never heard of this author when I picked up The Craft Room, so I had no clue what to expect as I delved into the pages.

I found the Craft Room to be full of dark humor, it had me laughing in places, I really should not have been laughing. It was also a little bit over the top but I still found it to be a rather enjoyable read.
Dave Holwill has given us a fun but somewhat naughty read that will have you guessing right up until the very end!

Sylvia Blackwell is tired. Her grandchildren are being kept away from her, and the expected inheritance that might finally get her middle-aged son to move out has failed to materialise – thanks to her mother's cat. It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain composed. On a romantic clifftop walk for her 47th Wedding Anniversary, an unexpected opportunity leads to a momentous decision that will irretrievably change the course of her life. 

The Craft Room is a darkly comic tale of sex, crepe paper, murder and knitting in a sleepy Devon town, with a 'truly original' premise and genuinely jaw-dropping moments. What would you do if unexpectedly freed from bondage you never knew you were in? How would your children cope? How far would you go to protect them from an uncomfortable truth? 
You can only push a grandmother so far...
