The Other Couple by [Naughton, Sarah J.]

The Other Couple- Sarah Naughton

Asha is on her honeymoon on a luxurious island with her husband Ollie. Ollie has been
surrounded by luxury all of his life whereas Asha has had to claw her way up. One day
she wakes up to find herself in strange surroundings and is struggling to put the pieces
together. She remembers the wedding but not much else. What on earth has happened
to her and where is Ollie? The story alternates between the wedding, the honeymoon
and Asha in the hospital. One of those tales you dive into and don’t want to let go. The
intrigue is there from the start and almost palpable at time. I took to Asha very quickly
and felt not only for her predicament but also that she was beginning to feel trapped
by the whole luxury of Ollie’s life. She had seen the world in a different way- both
physically and mentally and his trappings really didn’t interest her.A mystery, vague
clues, a rather dark tale in parts. One that put me in a spin and my brain working
overtime to try and reveal what had happened. That said it’s really not one of
those books where you can put it together- so very cleverly woven is the story-
just as I love it. If you love psychological thrillers that keep you on tenterhooks
and that slightly anxious feeling then maybe give this a read. 5* from me.

Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud- Cafe- Richard Dee-  4* Andi has landed on a mining station a week away from Mars. She takes on the “ucky strike cafe” (the “L” fell off) - its previous owner having disappeared leaving outstanding debts. Her business partner Cy is right behind her. Much to her surprise they find the previous guy in the freezer - in a body bag. Being on a different planet means there are rules about refuse and hence they decide to leave him there having little choice in the matter. Andi wants to find out more about a secret book that he had and who murdered him. This is a wonderful, lighthearted read to make you smile. Characters that are well portrayed and you take to easily. Descriptions are vivid and you can easily picture “the planet” in your minds eye. An excellent plot line with a little humour and even romance along the way. A highly enjoyable read.

  More Life as a Dog by LA Davenport- memoirs/humour This is the second in the series (both happily stand alone) about Kevin the dachshund, the “meat seeking missile” and his adventures with his human. Human has a new girlfriend and it’s a nervous time when Kevin is taken to be introduced to her dog. Will he behave or let them both down? This is written in the first person from the humans point of view and tells of outings they have such as a trip back to London after a day out,  but turned into an adventure due to running out of petrol. From meeting Amy Winehouse to poor Kevin being kicked there are the highs and lows of their lives. This is a fun,  light hearted read especially for any dog lover.  Although told from the human perspective, it's told with Kevin at the heart of things. It's heart-warming, it's very touching and also that for some of us, we have overcome much due to having that canine companion at our side. A short, beautiful read. One for over a coffee or t

  Holmes, Marple and Poe by James Patterson-mystery thriller Oh wow! A book I wanted to devour in one helping but didn't want it to end. Holmes, Marple and Poe are PI’s and have just started their own agency together. Each one has particular talents although all are highly attuned to finding out the whys and wherefores to solve a crime. Holmes for example is hyperosmic and can detect scents amongst the normal ones the rest of us can. Are they their real names? Of that we are not sure but what we can be certain of is that they are good at their job, very good and the police department calls them in when things are starting to get beyond them or where they would rather not be involved. Each one has their own secrets from their lives before they got together. Can they solve the crimes and stay under the radar? This is my first James Patterson book. I know , I know, I must have been hiding under a rock. Brilliant and page turning doesn't do this justice. It looks like I have rather
