 Sisters Behaving Badly by Maddie Please-womens humorous fiction

Sisters Kitty and Jenny haven't seen eye to eye for many years but used

to be close. Kitty has had three husbands and is now single, Jenny still

has a very controlling Paul at her side. They have been left a property

in France by an Aunt who was in the process of doing it up. The pair

take themselves to France to complete the renovations ready for it to

be sold- or at least that's the plan and maybe even rekindle their

relationship at the same time. There is a “wild” chicken (I had to

laugh-I rescue hens and threatening they are not!) along with

Hector the donkey and animals that Jenny can't stand!

I quickly got into this- there are two wonderful very different

characters. Kitty is “ what you see is what you get” type of person

and wants to live life to the fullest. Jenny is more reserved and

appears to have relied on Paul for every decision for fear of her own

being wrong and not to his liking (coercive control/narcissism). Its

a wonderful story with lots of smiles but also perhaps a message-

be yourself and one life- live it! I didn’t want this to end (always a

good sign) as there was a warmth within the pages. We could all

do with a Kitty in our lives to make us see what we can’t always

see for ourselves even though it should be blindingly obvious.

A truly wonderful read I can't recommend highly enough

Kitty is determined to enjoy herself, especially when she meets gorgeous French builder, Leo. Ooh la – la!

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
