The Good Wife by Gemma Rogers

The Good Wife by Gemma Rogers-psychological thriller

Chloe is married to Tom. Tom however is controlling about everything, absolutely everything. He has distanced Chloe from family and friends, puts the clothes out she has to wear each day and even dictates how many mouthfuls of food she is allowed to eat and watches her every move. At a company dinner Tom wins the raffle and from a chance interaction Chloe knows what is happening and sees her chance to be free. Savannah is a high class hooker and could give Chloe what she desires most- freedom.

Oh wow! What a belter of a read. I read 50% in one sitting and would have been more if real life hadn't got in the way. This really is one of those read-right-the-way-through-in-one-sitting type of reads. It's cleverly written to captivate the reader and all sympathy goes to Chloe and anyone in real life who has perhaps been at the control of others. It's sometimes hard to explain the stress of coercive control but this goes a long way towards it. There is a brilliant tension as to how Chloe is going to extricate herself with no contacts and a phone monitored by Tom. It's very clever and it's twisty with an ending the reader has to spot- brilliant! A highly recommended read- but warning -you just might want to read it all at once!

The Good Wife Appearances can be deceiving… After a whirlwind romance and three years of marriage, I’d tried to be a good wife. My husband Tom is always watching, controlling my every move. He chooses my clothes, my hairstyle, even instructing what and how much I’m allowed to eat – just ten mouthfuls. I’ve become isolated from those I love, forbidden to work and stuck at home to fulfil his every whim. My identity along with my life is long gone. I am slowly suffocating but I know Tom will never, ever let me leave alive. But a chance encounter with Savanah changes everything. Tom just couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. I hoped she might be my saviour. What if I asked for her help? Paid her to steal my husband away? Could my husband’s desire for another woman be the answer to my prayers, to my freedom? Bestseller Gemma Rogers is back with another gripping, page-turning thriller. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell Purchase Link - https://mybook.to/goodwifesocial

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
