The Good Neighbor by Cathryn Grant-psycholoigcal thriller
A young girl goes missing in the middle of the night. Has she been taken from her
bed? This is a good neighbourhood so who and why?Taylor is a neighbour who wants
to help and takes on the facebook page for missing Brittany. She won’t settle until
she feels that everything possible is being done to find this young girl. Brittanys
family only moved in a short time ago and so no-one knows them well. When their
furniture was being moved in Taylor saw a bed more suited to an eight year old
than a preteen and thought at the time something didn’t quite add up. With
Brittany now missing more and more is adding to that theory.
This is one of those reads that slowly but surely envelopes you. Before you know it
you are turning seemingly faster and faster to find out what is going on. Chapters
are “by” different characters to give their side of the story. When secrets from the
past resurrect themselves the truth always outs. A clever and well thought out
premise and well rounded characters. I took to Taylor and her determination not
only to find Brittany but for the truth. There is a subplot, I won’t spoil anything
other than to say that we get occasional chapters from Brittany herself about her
life and what has been going on which adds to the tension of the plot.
A tense, gripping emotional 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 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...
