I got this as an Amazon First Read and I'm a bit late reading it for a First Read, but I'm reading it now and it's so good. Very much has an 80's music vibe to it, along with a fab story. 💙📚
‘The Lost Past of Billy McQueen’ has been selected for Amazon First Reads. Prime members can download it for free in November (99p otherwise) - with paperback and audio to follow on 1st December ☘️

#NoSonofMine is @clareswatmanauthor.bsky.social first thriller and it’s a really good one. With a fascinating look at nature vs nurture at its heart, it’s about how far a mother will go to bond with and protect the son she had adopted as a baby.

#TheLostPastofBillyMcQueen by Neil Alexander is set partly in 1989 and I loved the nostalgia, particularly the music references (Enjoy Yourself by Kylie, anyone?) Can Billy find out what happened to his first love all those years ago?

Book Description: The past has never left Billy. It's just been waiting for him to come and find it... It's been over thirty years since Billy last called Northern Ireland home. Back then, his secret love for schoolfriend Conor was the only shining light that kept him going during troubled times. That is, until their romance was tragically cut short when Conor disappeared without a trace.
