Fatal Lies by Anita Waller- crime
Oh I treasure reading Anita’s books. There is always a warmth and comfort between the pages (despite being a crime book) which draws you in like a comfy armchair beside a wonderful open fire. There are very likeable characters which quickly grow on the reader and a carefully thought out plot which keeps the pages turning. These are the sort of books where I begin thinking “ I’ll just read for an hour or so” and then find myself 30% in and not wanting to put it down. Real life gets pushed aside!
This time the Forrester Detective agency is getting sorted out after the deaths of the original owners. Matt, the son, is now in charge with his business partner Steve and Carol their own Mary Poppins has magically appeared, much to their relief. Matt was a DI and is married to a DS- Karen providing him with appropriate information where he can maybe help. When a burglary is committed a walk around the block soon finds some of the takings however the homeowner took things into her own hands and a burglary enquiry has now become one of murder. Steve’s other business leads him to a garden which has been desecrated. Why and who has done this for no apparent reason?
Love Watson! (you’ll have to read to find out more as to who or what this is). Along with other occasional humorous sentences, this made me smile. Anita has a skill, a way with words that yes, there is a serious element to the investigations but like real life, a little humour never goes amiss. There’s joy and a mystery, some family drama and of course a crime or two in the mix. A treasure of a read, a perfect delightful book I can't recommend highly enough.
