The Guest: A psychological thriller with a shocking twist by [Cathryn Grant]
The Guest- Catharine Grant- psychological thriller         
Seth, Ellie’s husband has brought home a guest for dinner- a man called Ace who appears
nice but to Ellie has something else going on possibly with Seth. During dinner it transpires
that Seth lost his job seven weeks ago and has been hiding it from the family. Brandon
who is Ellie's son but Seth’s stepson used to get on so well with Seth but now things are
different as he has grown and is now 15.. When the police knock and ask him about
potentially stalking a now missing girl from his school, Brandon denies all knowledge
of anything. Ellie takes his phone and finds more than she bargained for. Seth continues
to act very strangely and Brandon is forming a close relationship with Ace who has
now moved in as a lodger albeit temporarily invited by Seth without Ellie’s knowledge.
When Seth is apparently going to a convention but doesn't seem to want to give any
information about it and Ellie is getting followed she wonders what on earth is going
on.
I liked Ellie and felt for her predicament but did feel that she was being rather blase
about the whole Ace thing- but this is fiction! For me this was more of a domestic
noir than psychological thriller- it kept me within the pages and happily turning.
There was a tension of who and why without the urgency of some reads which made
it more relaxing. An enjoyable read

 Book Blurb: She told him to make himself at home. He did.  Life has been good to Ellie – she owns a successful art gallery, is deeply in love with her
husband, Seth, and has two beautiful children, Brandon and Simone.    But not everything is perfect… Lately, Seth seems to have something on his mind and has become cold and distant. And things
don’t improve when he invites mysterious stranger Ace to stay in their home. Ace is charming, but Ellie can’t help feeling there’s more to him than meets the eye, that he
has some kind of agenda. She’s also aware that she is dangerously attracted to him. Then a girl at Brandon’s school is murdered, and Ellie is beyond devastated when the police
tell her they think her son might be involved. Ellie knows in her heart that Brandon is innocent and she feels certain that Ace is somehow

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...

  The Girl from Berchtesgaden by Alistair Birch & Kim Rigby- historical thriller    Oh wow! A book I started and didn’t want to put down as I held my breath……. This tells the story of Ingrid and Dieter, brother and sister, who try to escape Nazi Germany in the early 1930’s. Hitler has risen to power and anti- semitism is on the rise which both Ingrid and Dieter have fallen foul of, to their cost. Their Father should have been travelling with them but was found out and detained whilst the children managed to get away. Ingrid, once in England and grown up, decides to take a new path to help try and put things right. Her bravery and courage are admirable and although fiction reminded me that things like this really did happen during the war. A book I was enthralled by and learnt something along the way. For all the numerous war books I've read I didn't know about Oswald Mosley and the fascist uprising in this country. Although we were not invaded, some were fighting the ...
