Ruin Her Life

Ruin her Life by NJ Moss- psychological thriller 

OMG! Another sit on the edge of your seat and don’t let go read from  Nathan. Abbie has gone into her daughter's school to complain to one of Becky’s teachers about something she allegedly said. She’s hoping Becky is lying, but what transpires is beyond her wildest dreams, make that nightmares. The teacher records the conversation as she wanted to make sure that Abbie didn't twist her words which she had a suspicion about. Sophia, the teacher, has aspirations beyond the classroom and this could just be the platform she has been waiting for. Be careful what you wish for. Online isn’t always the safe place many believe and can indeed be a dangerous place. Can Abbie get things sorted before it's too late and several lives are ruined?

Wowsers! Nathan has that special skill of getting the reader comfortable for a very short while and then pinning them down, real life be damned! (I read this in a day- I had no choice but to find out what happened! )A story of “From little acorns…” and ripples and how words can do so much unintended damage in the hands of those who chose to twist them and “ be famous” and find a supposed fortune. Chapters are given character names to give different perspectives and I found myself unsure as to which if any characters I liked or not- I chopped and changed seeing contrasting angles as the book progressed. There’s a myriad of suspects and occasional chapters give a murderer’s point of view, the reader not knowing either who this is or indeed who is the victim. Clever, chilling, brilliantly thought out and possibly not so far from reality. Five big ones *****

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-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
