 The Sisters Twin- Jane Adams- Crime/mystery

A brilliantly entertaining read! The police are rather reluctant and sceptical

when a woman walks into the station to report a murder that hasnt yet

taken place but has been “ seen” on tarot cards. “Curmudgeonly sleuth Ray

Flowers'' who is an ex-police detective takes on the case. When an intruder

is found in her bedroom the police are more inclined to take things a little

more seriously. When more elderly people are targeted things really need to

speed up. What is the connection with the cards and between each of

the victims and targets? I really enjoyed this , it’s a very different crime

read and despite the subject matter this is a very entertaining light

hearted read. It's one in a series but happily stands alone (I hadn't read

the previous ones in the series) I liked Ray and Alice who came across

very well. There’s a little backstory around Fly (loved her name and

suited her perfectly) and nothing to put you off your dinner or wonder

what the creak on the stairs maybe!( at least not for me).

A cleverly thought out, crafted plot giving an engaging, beguiling

and fun read. Wonderful- loved it (and look forward to more in

the series)

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-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
