The Man I Married by Elena Wilkes -psychological thriller

 "You love him. You’ll do anything for him. But do you really know him?"

 Lucy has met Paul as she literally bumped into him in a pub. He is a psychologist whom
she sometimes sees at work as she is a probation officer. One of her cases is getting
rather close to her and she is having to pull back for her own safety. Meanwhile her
relationship with the rather mercurial Paul is whizzing along and she finds things about
his past that then just disappear. She realises that she really doesn’t know him and hasn't
even met any of his friends. With Paul and Gould (the ex-con) her life is beginning to be
on a knife edge. Who is telling the truth and can she trust Paul? Ooooh!! This is one of
those books where the tension nicely builds and you have that sense of unease that
something isn’t quite right. Why would a boyfriend hide things and deny things from
his past? Surely a foundation of truth which is what Paul insists on, but maybe doesn’t
abide by his own rules, would be better? A slightly creepy, well written read that made
me sit on the edge of my seat. I did wonder how it was going to end. I won’t give
anything away other than to say nicely done! A captivating 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
