Murder on the Dancefloor by Katie Marsh- Cosy Mystery

A book with a lift and more than a smile! It's Jeannie’s hen weekend, she is marrying Tan on Monday and unfortunately her sister Nicola has taken over the organising, which means her insisting on doing varying things to have “fun” as Nicola has googled.  Heavens to murgatroyd! There are five sisters in all and also Jeannie’s two best friends who she sees as family and with her run the Bad Girls detective agency. Jeannie was in the police until a while ago and her and the girls have rather a reputation for finding criminals quicker than her ex-colleagues. When Jeannie finds a body on the dancefloor it looks like the hen weekend could be rather busier than first anticipated.

This is the second in the series but is happily a standalone book. I loved this, one I raced through as I was enjoying it so much. Its life with a twist and yes, some authors licence (what fiction book isn’t?) but seen through real life eyes. There are chases in heels with feather boas (we’ve all seen it), and paintballing (ouch- been there -never again) and lots of drama involved in the pursuit of the bad guys. If you enjoy a light-hearted, fun mystery read this could be the very thing, it really did leave me with a smile. A thoroughly enjoyable read, I very much look forward to the next one.

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
