The Ex by Diane Saxon- Psychological/crime

Emily is furious. She has just learnt that her ex has recently got married. She

feels that if he only could see her again he would change his mind and be with

her. She tracks him down and comes face to face with his wife. Jenna is on duty

as a detective Sergeant when a call comes in of a sudden death. She arrives

at the scene to find the paramedics doing all they can for the victim who is still

alive. This brings back memories of when her police partner was shot right

next to her. She also has a trauma of the disappearance of her sister a few

years ago. She pulls herself together and speaks to the husband and he

suddenly yells about their little boy of eighteen months Joshua. Jenna

searches the house and the husband is the only one there- the little

boy is either missing or has wandered off. I enjoyed this. I like Jenna

and her tenacity and the fast pace of the read. We know whom the

protagonist is but there are twists and turns along the way. 

I didn't know that this was part of a series and although it stands alone

I did feel I was missing out on what had previously happened with

Jennas partner and her sister and most importantly the dog.Other

than that, yes it stands on its own, maybe just my curiosity.

A thoroughly enjoyable 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. 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
