The Ultimate Village Game

The Ultimate Village Game by Beth Merwood- Cosy suspense / mystery ** GIVEAWAY *****

Lucy has returned to the village where she grew up, a village known for its annual village game- a treasure hunt with a stunning prize donated by the Lord of the manor.. She works at the local care home and lives with her dog and knows most of the locals. Lucy appears to have a secret and a plan- she thinks someone may be watching her- we know little about this to begin with or even why this is happening. She is plotting and planning waiting for the right time whilst trying to reinvent herself to be more outgoing and sociable. As time goes on she likes her new self and abandons whatever scheme she originally had in mind. There's something from her past which she is desperately trying to put behind her but does anyone know her secret?

I really enjoyed this. For the most part it's a drama/contemporary fiction type read and an enjoyable easy one for any age. There’s nothing gory or upsetting and it’s a nice change to have something like this. No bodies in the library! Lucy is a very likeable character and very much cares for her work at the care home, something not everyone could do. If you fancy a more lighthearted read this could be the perfect book- it would make a good holiday read.  A very enjoyable and highly recommended book.

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
