The South Bank Murders by Biba Pearce-Crime

Wow! A stunning read that very much kept the pages turning. Rob Miller is enjoying a family evening when he receives the devastating news that his old boss and close friend has been killed. He speeds to the scene only to be told that his team are too close to this and they are not to investigate it. Then a young man’s body is found washed up in the river. He has a strange stamp on his hand, similar to one you would get at a nightclub. Could this help identify who he is and what has happened to him? Robs team fight to investigate the murder of their colleage at the same time as investigating the young man’s death. The one thing they keep coming back to is someone with a wolf tattoo. Is this person responsible for the chief’s death and how does this link to the immegrant murders? 

This is part of a series but happily stands alone (but why miss out on the others?). A fast paced read with lots going on and I found myself reading that “ just one more chapter”. I liked Rob and his tenacity and determination. A good team of characters with a little background and appropriate humour. .A wonderful, very entertaining read and I very much look forward to the next in the series.

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.

  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
