Hiding in plain sight-Eoghan Egan -Crime/thriller 

 "Small towns conceal big secrets"
A book with several plot lines to keep you thinking all the way. An art dealer has killed
a woman and is trying to lure his next victim. He has killed several times before and
leaves no trace of bodies, the women only ever being listed as missing.  Meanwhile in a
group of friends one woman has found her husband is having an affair, little knowing
the mistress is one of the group. One of the men is up for redundancy, his wife
seemingly not understanding the need to cut back and “needing” her weekly hair
appointment and expensive accoutrements. Another small group are operating an art
scam, replacing valuable works of art with fakes and selling on the real ones. Sharona
discovers this and puts the police into action. Meanwhile the killer is up to his old tricks,
several women now being in his sights. This is one of those reads where you need your
wits about you. There are alot of characters and no detective as such, however this is
well written and I soon got into it. A mystery within a scam within a scandal. 
A different, very entertaining 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.

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
