Mr Nice- John Nicholl-  Crime
“It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. The greater the evil, the deadlier the game…”
Maddy is a successful solicitor. She has split from her husband Dale after his drinking
got worse and led to threats and violence. Maddy lives with Lottie, her young daughter.
When Dale arrives late one night and causes a disturbance the neighbours yet again
call the police. He yet again wants to see Lottie and “I'll go once I’ve given her a hug”.
It’s the early hours of the morning.  Maddie awakes the next morning to find an empty
bed and Lottie missing. Only her husband could have taken her- couldn't he? I found
Martin unsettling (I'm not giving anything away by saying he’s the perpetrator) and
was very well written. We get alternating chapters from his perspective as well as from
Maddy and DI Kesey. It was nice for DI Gravel to be mentioned a couple of times
(I liked him in John’s other books ) and Kesey is fast growing on me. A tenacious
woman who gives her misogynistic boss as good as he gives and gets the job
done. A well written story that kept me between its pages

Your worst nightmare is about to come true...

When Megan discovers that her young daughter is missing, she thinks that her ex-husband is to blame. 
But was it someone else entirely? 
Someone out for revenge? Someone with a grudge? 
As DI Laura Kesey begins her investigation, she discovers that the case is infinitely more wicked than she could ever have imagined. 
The clock is ticking. 
The search is on. 
But will Kesey find Lottie before it’s too late?

It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. The greater the evil, the deadlier the game.

John Nicholl is also the bestselling author of The DI Gravel and Dr David Galbraith series. Mr Nice is a dark and twisty psychological thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seat. It can be read as the sequel to The Girl in White or as unmissable stand-alone. It will appeal to fans of authors like M.W. Craven, Mark Edwards and Charlie Gallagher.

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

  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...
