Poor Hands- Oliver Tidy 4*

“I put a pinny on, opened a bottle of wine and hey presto! I was Keith Floyd! This gives you an idea of how this wonderful book is written. WIth humour, with excellent characters and a little tongue in cheek. For those who haven't come across Booker and Cash before- David Booker runs a coffee shop that was a bookshop which he inherited and transformed. Jo Cash is an ex detective now working independently as a PI. They are a team, one batting from the other and this works really well as there is two perspectives. Jo is asked to trace descendants from someone born in the 1800’s for a mystery American client. David, meanwhile comes across a young girl needing help and this leads to things he never imagined. A relaxing read over (several) cups of coffee. One of those reads you feel at home with and can almost imagine happening.I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
