Time to Die

Time to Die by Stephen Puleston- Crime

Set in the North Wales/Anglesey area this is a very interesting read amongst a rugged coastline. A body has been found looking like it has been thrown from the top of the cliffs. Further investigation leads the team to discover that he was a key witness to a burglary trial of two local well known misfits who have a reputation for violence and intimidation. Inspector Drake and team quickly discover more about the man and his wife- both appear to have other partners who may well have a motive. When another body is found the team may be led down a path that could well be the wrong one.

Although one of a series this does stand alone-this is my first book by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s an easy read to get into and stay with and is very well written. I liked Drake- he comes across as a well rounded, believable character and the short chapters kept the pace nicely. The plot is well crafted and the reader is thrown a few red herrings along the way which kept me very interested. A wonderful easy read I thoroughly enjoyed.

Welsh Inspector Ian Drake is called to the discovery of a body of a man on a popular beach. The dead man is due to give evidence in an important trial of two vicious criminals and suspicion immediately falls on both men.

As another witness in the important case is killed Drake’s superior office is convinced the known felons are to blame. And when a suspect linked to the dead man’s wife absconds Drake believes he has the culprit. But the discovery that witnesses exists changes everything. Can he find them before the killer?

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
