My Last Lie

My Last Lie - Ella Drummond- psychological

l was very heavily pregnant when she had an accident and lost her baby. Her husband
Theo although very supportive chose this time to have a short lived affair. Pilar ended
up in therapy. We know she had a secret at the time but don’t know what it is.
A year or so later Theo surprises her by taking her to a new house, their new
start. She knew they were going to move but not where. She had always wanted
a house by the coast and although this one is a short distance it is her perfect
house and even has a studio for her to do her art work. On arrival odd things
begin to happen to Pilar, silent phone calls, pictures altered around, things she can’t
quite account for. As she is now pregnant again she puts it down to baby brain but
knows that something is amiss- just not quite what. Her new friend Natalie is very
taken by Theo and when she finds her at his office she wonders if things are
beginning all over again. I loved this. I took to Pilar her situation of being in recovery
from a breakdown whilst knowing something eerie was going on. Theo I didn’t quite
trust somehow , rightly or wrongly. I guessed who the perpetrator was but this is
no way marred the book as there were so many unanswered questions. (that got
answered by the end - hence the 5*- if they weren’t I would have deducted at
least one star) The excellent standard of writing bringing them both vividly to life.
Pilar’s mother and her toxic voice and how Pilar does her very best to acquiesce
when she visits. A compelling read that I didn’t want to put down (real life hindrance).
A very enjoyable read 5*

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
