Now You See Me by [McGeorge, Chris]
Now You See Me- Chris George-psychological thriller

Robin is an author. His wife Samantha disappeared three years ago and he has never
given up hope of finding her. He receives a strange phone call from someone called
Matthew who is in New Hall prison. What Matthew says piques Robins interest when
he mentions Samantha. Matthew is awaiting trial as a few months ago he was taking
five people and a dog through Standedge tunnel on a boat. Two hours and a few
minutes later only Matthew, who was unconscious ,and the dog emerge. How on
earth did he get rid of 5 bodies in a canal tunnel? If he didn’t do it then who did and
what happened? No bodies have yet been found.If robin helps Matthew he promises
he will tell him what he knows about Sam. Ooooh!! This is one of those books that
grabs you from the get go and tangles you up not wanting to let go. I immediately
took to Robin and his determination and tenacity not only to find out what happened
to Samantha but also about Matthew and the others. “There are many truths of
which the full meaning cannot be realised until personal experience has brought
it home” (John Stuart MIll). A very clever plot (which I didn’t see coming) with
a nice sub-plot along side. One gripping tantalising read.

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
