being traded but how are they getting in? ?When a young boy is murdered for the
trainers he is wearing the force dive in to solve a new case. It appears that there is a
new trend- designer clothes but more street wear. One-offs that will fetch a price
when resold and some will do anything to get their hands on them- anything at all.
Marie finds that an old adversary is joining the team- something no-one is very happy
about least of all the boss, Will this disrupt the camaraderie that the team have? Joy
has a way with words that instantly puts you in a certain frame of mind. A relaxed on

the pages easily. Nothing to make you wince too  much or to put you off your dinner,
just a wonderful enjoyable read.

The House of Lies by Anita Waller

  The House of Lies by Anita Waller Jess’s husband is terminal and is in his last few hours. For over twenty five years Jess has waited for an opportunity to tell Chris what she knows and now is that time. She has a journal of what has gone on including her revenge, but this needs telling in person. Chris was one of four men who met twice a week to play golf and hence were a close knit group. After Chris passes away, one of the other men is murdered. Is this about the group and can Jess keep her secret? OMG. Another one of Anita’s books that I couldn't put down. Grudges can be held for many years, and revenge is a dish best served cold as we all know. This takes this premise, very cleverly and spins it. It's gritty and brilliantly crafted and I didn't quite know what was likely to come next- just how I like it. A stunning, engrossing read that kept me captivated right until the end, superbly crafted. Brilliant doesn't do this justice.  For more reviews please follow me...

Will you Stay Another Day? by Samantha Tonge

  Will you Stay Another Day? by Samantha Tonge- women’s fiction Lili and Em were best buddies, the sort who know each other inside out and pretty much have their own language. One year after Em has tragically died Lili texts Em’s old number…………and gets a reply in Em “speak”- something only they would know. Is someone playing a cruel joke or is Em…?? Lili dare not think about what she truly hopes is real. Who is sending the texts and why? Wow! What a brilliant premise. Most of us have sadly lost someone dear and would love to be able to get a message to them, and even better to get one back- how truly special that would be. (I’ve got more than one in mind!).  Samantha knows how to draw a reader in and keep them there with her brilliant style of writing. I laughed and yes, I cried. I loved the characters and how it made me think of things in my own life. A truly memorable stunning read.  For more reviews please follow me on X (formerly Twitter) @nickisbookblog ------------...
