Against the backdrop of Live Aid, #TheBarbecueAtNo9 from #JennieGodfrey focuses on three people hiding secrets that will change their lives forever. I felt as if I'd been catapulted back in time.

Rewind Recap: Weekly Update W/E 22/02/26 February is nearly over. How is that a thing? I mean, I’m happy about it. Holiday season looming and all that. But still. Hitting a bit of a manic patch at work, covering two jobs whilst recruitment continues for a colleagues well deserved retirement so no idea what that will do to my energy or concentration on reading but, hey. That is life.

“The List Of Suspicious Things” by Jennie Godfrey – Book Review @Sourcebooks #PublicationDay #DebutNovel #TheListOfSuspiciousThings #BookReview #JennieGodfrey Although today is the publication day for this debut novel, I've been hearing great things about this book for the past year. The reason is that it was published in the United Kingdom last January. The protagonist, Miv (short for Mavis), is a twelve year old schoolgirl, just attempting to bridge the gap between childhood and adolescence.  She lives in a working class street in Leeds with her father, mother, and Auntie Jean.

I was hooked the second Miv decided her "list of suspicious things" could catch a serial killer. That childhood audacity! 🤯

#JennieGodfrey captures that bittersweet shift from innocence to reality so perfectly. A beautiful, haunting #read!🧤🕵️ ‍#books #readers #bookrec

Rewind Recap: Weekly Update W/E 30/11/25 Well … this has been an interesting week. I have been in a course of advanced colouring in (aka Power BI training). To be fair, it was a lot more than colouring in, and I have a lot to chew over when it comes to the exciting world of calculated measures, columns, data tables and whatever. I also have something else to chew over, an unexpected event from midweek that has left me preoccupied all weekend and my reading has suffered as a result.

BOOK REVIEW - THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS booknerdni.wordpress.com/2025/07/11/j... #books #booksky #fiction #listofsuspiciousthings #jenniegodfrey #blog #yorkshireripper #crime

The List Of Suspicious Things ⭐️ Fifteen Stars, Three Editions, One Unforgettable Book Book Review: The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey What It’s About Set in Yorkshire in 1979, The List of Suspicious Things follows 12-year-old Miv as she navigates a world shadowed by fear. With her mum no longer speaking and her dad quietly planning a move down south, Miv clings to her best friend Sharon — and the streets of the only home she’s ever known. While the Yorkshire Ripper dominates the news, the story isn’t about him. It’s about the ordinary people trying to live normal lives under extraordinary pressure. When women start disappearing, Miv and Sharon create a list of suspicious people and things in their neighbourhood, hoping that solving the mystery might be enough to keep them from having to leave everything behind. Why I Bought It Three Times Sometimes a book is more than just words on a page. This one clung to me. I bought it first on Kindle, then as an audiobook, and finally — the paperback. I didn’t even realise I owned three copies until I posted my current read to Instagram. That’s when I knew it was time. I listened to the audiobook while reading along with the paperback, and from the moment I pressed play… I didn’t stop. I’m lucky to have Alexa set up across my flat — four devices in four rooms — so I could keep listening while doing housework or making meals. In truth, I mostly just sat there, completely absorbed. I finished it at 1am, emotionally wired and unable to sleep. The next day, I couldn’t even pick up another book. I had to sit with this one — to feel it, to process it. That’s how much it stayed with me. Audiobook Magic The audiobook deserves a very special mention. Performed by a full cast — Joanne Froggatt, Mark Noble, Asif Khan, Gemma Whelan, and Simon Harvey — each voice brought a different perspective, layered with personality and emotion. This was more than narration — it was an immersive performance. I genuinely felt like I was there with the characters, hearing their inner worlds unfold. It made the story feel real, and the emotions hit even harder. Quiet Power and Real Lives Jennie Godfrey’s writing is exceptional. She didn’t just write characters — she breathed life into them. Especially Miv, who felt so real to me that I could see her, hear her, even feel her fear and determination. The story explores heavy topics through a child’s eyes with grace, empathy, and honesty. It’s set during a frightening time, yet the focus is on the people, not the fear. What I loved most is how it shows the impact of kindness. Miv and Sharon's small, brave acts of care ripple throughout their community. Without them, many lives might have taken a very different path. That subtle touch — the way the girls' empathy changes others — added so much beauty to the story. It’s not loud heroism; it’s quiet, human goodness. And it hit me hard. Final Thoughts This is a book I’ll carry with me. I feel changed by it — truly. The atmosphere, the compassion, the raw honesty of what it means to grow up in a world filled with fear but choose connection anyway... it’s stunning. Jennie Godfrey has written something very, very special. If you’re after a book that resonates beyond the final page — something emotionally rich, beautifully performed, and masterfully written — this is it. My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Fifteen Stars (One set of stars for each edition I own — Kindle, audiobook, paperback. And it deserves every one of them.)

📚✨ Fifteen stars. One unforgettable book. ✨📚
I read The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey with my whole heart — paperback in hand, audiobook playing across every room.
⠀
📱🎧📖 3 editions = 15 stars.
💛 This one will stay with me.
