Christmas with the East End Angels by Rosie Hendry
This is a very different read for me as I don’t usually do “historical” novels. Something
about it grabbed my attention. A cheerful cover, a feeling of that togetherness amongst
friends and perhaps to learn a little history along the way. The three women- Frankie,
Winnie and Bella work for the London ambulance service and although the Blitz has
finished, they are on standby for anything that might now happen.Winnie has just
seen her husband off as he is in the bomb disposal squad. This is the third in the series
but happily stands alone. This was my first read of the series and so didn’t know what
to expect and was pleasantly surprised. A story of the war and all that it brings. For
a town, a city, a country. A man , a woman a community. A very different way of life
and pulling together against the enemy in whatever form that may mean. A concert
to raise funds for the POW parcels, carol singing at the hospital. parcel packing, mending
and making do, rationing and the worries of war.  An entertaining read. I think this will
appeal to readers of all ages. The older ones who remember those time to those of us
who don’t and find a read like this interesting. Perhaps the perfect Christmas gift?

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 coff...

  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...
