Deadly partnership- Richard Gardner 4*

A good book is when you enjoy it all the way through. A great book is when you can‘t put it down because it has drawn you in so much you just have to know what happens. This one falls into that category. Paul has just retired and decides to move back with his sister Julie to raise funds from his house to help his son Gary whose business is on its knees from his lavish spending. When an intruder breaks in, their plans have to change rather swiftly. Paul also meets an old flame from his school days and a little romance is in the air.A twist that puts Paul in a spin and a past that comes in rather useful. Brilliantly written with excellent descriptions that pitch you into the heart of the action. A little humour, a little romance. Overall a lighthearted read with nothing to put you off your dinner, even if one or two characters are not still breathing.I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
