Family Secrets at Hedgehog Hollow by Jessica Redland -Women's fiction

Chloe has arrived at Hedgehog hollow with her young baby. She is Sam's cousin

and despite Chloe being rather volatile Sam is her best friend come what may.

Quite how Sam puts up with some of the comments even Chloe herself doesn’t

quite know. Chloe is married to James who once was Sam's boyfriend however

they each knew they weren’t “ the one” and Sam is now happily engaged to

Josh. Chloe has walked out on James and no one, including James knows why. 

Sam has her hands full not only with the hedgehog rescue but other live

in visitors- Josh’s father who has been ill and his girlfriend and their two

young children. What is Chloe's secret and why has she run away from

James? I enjoyed this- there is so much to it- it begins as almost as a

romcom and turns into much more. Serious issues handled with compassion

but put out there which can only be good for awareness. I like Sam- she’s a

no- nonsense girl with a huge heart despite her own issues with her mother

and much that is thrown at her from ones like Chloe. This is part of a series

and would need to be as such to understand that background of the

characters. Thank you Jessica for addressing PTSD- something I believe

many have little understanding of- it can radically affect lives and

although can be treated can be devastating for those affected. 

A wonderful, inspiring, dramatic read and one reflecting family life. Loved it.

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...
