Bad Blood - Sadie Ryan -Crime

Sean is visiting his rather wayward brother in the USA who hates him as their father left his house to Sean only. Sean and his wife both work at the local GP practice. One of the local police nips to some bushes for an urgent call of nature and discovers more than he anticipated- a body. It is later discovered that the marks on this are similar to those on another woman who was found several months ago. Frances is finally going to meet the man she has been chatting to on Tinder. She has found herself quite lonely and the man says he is quite famous and divorcing his wife so not to say anything to anyone about it lest it leak out. Her friend warns her about what he could be like but Frances isn't having any of it and takes the afternoon of work to get ready. When her friend returns from a few days away and Frances is nowhere to be found warning bells start ringing and she does her best to convince the police that Frances really has gone missing. Who could be taking these women and why?

This is a stunning read and my first by this author. It's a very cleverly thought-out plot and well crafted. It comes across well and the pages turn very easily. There are twists and turns and I found myself trying to work out the who’s and why’s but then another one spun me around. A well written book where chapters alternate between the police and in parts domestic chatter (all very relevant) of either Sean and his wife or others. A thrilling, captivating read, and I look forward to more in the series.

  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
