Fatal Lies By Anita Waller

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.

Fatal Lies For Matt Forrester, The Forrester Detective Agency is going from strength to strength: they’ve expanded their office space and even hired a new office manager – a qualified and astute woman named Carol. What starts as a simple burglary case soon turns into something darker. The victim of said burglary soon turns up dead, after engaging in threats with the local yobs she believed to have been responsible. But it soon becomes clear that there’s more at play here, and Matt – alongside sister Hermia, partner Steve, and life partner Karen – will have to put all their skills to the test, even if it puts them in danger… Purchase Link - https://mybook.to/FatalLiessocial

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
