MY REVIEW:
A copy of White
Walls and Straitjackets by David Owain Hughes was sent to Confessions of a
Reviewer by Booklover Catlady Publicity in exchange for an honest review. This
is said review. This book is published by Dark Serpent / Ravenswood Publishing.
I have seen a lot of publicity around blogs and social
media about this book so I was delighted when Maxine over at Booklover Catlady
Publicity asked if I would like a copy to review. I have never read anything by
David Owain Hughes before either so was excited to read someone knew. The buzz
it seems to be creating had me expecting good things. I have to say I was a
little disappointed.
Harry and Crystal are a travelling entertainment show.
They like to murder people. They have just killed three critics who didn’t seem
to like their show. They know they need to dump the bodies and skip town as
fast as they can and go somewhere new, for a new start. Crystal wants to go and
visit her sister, who is locked up in an asylum on the way. Harry doesn’t want
to but reluctantly agrees.
Harry finds a book in the glove box in their van. They
have no idea how it got there or even who wrote it. Harry decides to read the
stories in the book to Crystal on their journey. Some of the details in the
stories seem very familiar and it looks like they may have another killer on
their own tails.
