Logan’s getting better and better.

Yesterday, March 2nd, I went to see T.M. Logan launch his latest book at Nottingham Waterstones in the Sillitoe Events Room. This would be the 6th or 7th time I have seen him there, but recently I have been catching up with his back catalogue having just read his 2020 book Trust Me. I have been a big fan of his ever since I first read his breakout book The Holiday. Although I had read his others, that was his best until today when I finished his 2022 book The Curfew.



In his last four books Logan has been highly influenced by the domestic family thriller, with his latest The Mother being at the extreme end involving a miscarriage of justice and a determination to proof innocence. But innocence was the last thing on the polices mind in The Curfew when they arrested one of a group of kids in a seemingly normal missing persons case. But with a large and complicated cast this was soon proven to be anything but.



With each actor in the drama having their own agenda and the story slowly revealing itself, you had some idea how complicated this story was going to be because of the flashback elements of the book from each characters perspective as the story went along. But with a determined little sister and a family behind him, would the police get their way?



After only two and a half days I finished this book, read ably once again by Richard Armitage. As you get near the end of the story Logan’s tendency for a twisty plot as earned him the monica ‘master of the up-all-night thriller’



Having read two of these virtually back to back and hearing him read the intriguing opening to The Mother last night, I can see why I chose him as one of the Psychological Thriller writers for my book on the subject, and I am looking forward to discussing his evolving career in the interview after I have read The Mother.
