Sunday Book Club: Tiny Daggers, Caroline Corcoran

Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking a book that is a thriller.

Tiny Daggers (2025)

Caroline Corcoran


Synopsis

Expat Holly Jones has built the perfect life for herself in an exclusive area of Miami: the beautiful house, the enviable family. So the last person she expects to bump into one morning is a ghost from her old life in London, someone she hasn’t seen in over twenty years: the other Holly, Holly Wild.

Single, sexy, and a world away from the frumpy sidekick she was at school, Holly Wild quickly becomes an unavoidable part of Holly Jones’s life. She is everywhere―in her home, in her marriage, and especially in her head. Is this really just a chance reunion or is there something more sinister lurking behind her seemingly flawless facade?

As the oppressive heat intensifies, Holly Jones is haunted by memories she’s spent decades trying to bury. Is she being paranoid or is Holly Wild really out to steal her life? At school they were known as Good Holly and Bad Holly…but as their twisted game of cat and mouse escalates, it’s no longer clear which one is which…

Positive Points

If you are looking for a book that initially reads really well and reels you in then this is a book that you may enjoy. It welcomes you into this world and makes you want to find out all about it and just what is going to happen.


Negative Points

There are quite a few issues with this book the first is that the two main characters both have the same name which is really irritating. Whilst this book initially reads well, when it gets to the second part it loses its way and becomes incredibly confused and too many twists to make it actually work as well as it did in the first place.


Overall Review

If you are looking for something different then this may be something that you will enjoy however be warned that it loses its flow halfway through and becomes a book lost in all of it’s own twists and turns that it becomes a bit random and weird.

Rating : ** 2 Stars
