Felicity's War by Jean Fullerton

 Felicity's War by Jean Fullerton- war saga + **giveaway**********

It is 1941 and Fliss lives and works with Giles on the Workers Clarion newspaper and they are engaged to be married. Fliss works as a political reporter. When she returns home early one day she finds him inflagrante delicto with another woman from the paper. She ups sticks and returns home to her parents house- a manse- her father is a man of the cloth. Detective Timothy Wallace has a lot going on in this time of war, but notices Fliss after finding her drunk in the churchyard after she left Giles and took her to the safety of an air raid shelter. Fliss is determined to find work to support herself at the other local papers but ones who uphold her political beliefs. She sees Tim as sitting on the other side of the fence. Despite their differences there is a spark.

I enjoyed this, it's a different sort of read for me. There’s lots going on in the organised chaos of war time from differing angles which made for an interesting read. I liked Fliss and her steadfast determination in an age where women were only just beginning to hold their own due to the majority of men having gone off to war leaving the women to keep more than the home fires burning. This is a very well researched novel which shines through the pages putting the reader in the heart of things. A drama, some crime, a little romance, in fact a little of everything pretty much all rolled into one wonderful wartime story. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Reeling from her fiancé’s betrayal, she flees to her family home at St. Winifred’s Rectory.   Though heartbroken, Fliss finds purpose again as a journalist. On assignment, she crosses paths with Detective Inspector Timothy Wallace, who shares her passion for truth and justice - though not necessarily her political beliefs.

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
