Ghoster- Jason Arnopp- Psychological thriller/horror fantasy
Kate is a paramedic and is about to move in with boyfriend Scott only he hasn’t replied
to any messages for 24 hours. She first saw him on Tinder and sent him a “super-like”
to which he didn’t respond then either. She then bumped into him at a yoga retreat and
things took off from there. Alternate chapters take us from now (moving in) to when she
first met him. When Kate arrives at Scotts flat having travelled from Leeds to Brighton
(and her things are arriving right behind her) she not only finds Scott not there but the
flat empty. Is Kate being ghosted? What on earth is going on and what are the spooky
lights she keeps seeing? I quickly took to Kate and her predicament (albeit slightly naive)
and had to smile at the situation she found herself in, being in  an empty flat. I found
this an intriguing read. A mature woman and a strange situation she finds herself in.
I wasn;t expecting that! three quarters of the way through I found myself thinking this
is a horror story . Talk about cross genre! I am still thinking about the ending several
hours later and quite what to think of this book. It threw me off kilter several times
, I suppose in a good way, I think? Wow. Certainly very different from anything I have
ever read before. Think women’s fiction that goes to supernatural, then to horror
and stir it all up. One to remember.

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

  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
