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.

Murder Under The Mistletoe by Liz Fielding

  MURDER UNDER THE MISTLETOE by Liz Fielding - Cozy Crime Another treasure of a read from Liz Fielding.  Abby Finch runs Earthly Designs, her garden business and has not long lost her husband so is bringing up their three children alone as well as juggling the business . She is asked to help with the church hall Christmas decorations and finds she suddenly has a death rather close by and it turns out it's no accident. The man who was meant to be putting the star on the tree is rather rude and brash and disliked by many. Abby, being rather curious and having a nose for detective work, finds he has been blackmailing several people and she is trying to get to the bottom of things without him knowing. Then things take a rather different turn, which throws things completely. Who is behind all of this and why, and is Abby herself in danger? This is such a wonderful read. It's one that you quickly get into and take to the characters, or not in one case! It's a cozy type set up an

All in Monte Carlo By Anna Shilling

  All In Monte Carlo by Anna Shilling-contemporary fiction  A fun read about the jet set of Monte Carlo. How the other half live! Monte Carlo is full of people wanting to impress in every way possible. £30,000 for a bottle of brandy isn't unheard of in this tongue in cheek tale. Think “ the real housewives of Monte Carlo” but not! There is betrayal and subterfuge, and beneath the banner of a book club there is plotting going on as a small group of women have had enough. However planning doesn’t stay on course and the women have to think on their feet- something they aren't quite used to. A book to be taken lightly and one with a smile but apparently based on true events! . Of the ups and downs of the millionaire lifestyle. This would make a good holiday read, one to bring a laugh. A book that is slightly bonkers, possibly how not to be aspirational and that money doesn't make anyone happy but may provide the ways and means. A different, crazy read. For more reviews please

The Bag of Secrets by Joy Ellis

  The Bag of Secrets By Joy Ellis- Crime When the body of a homeless woman is found, the police can't make it a priority as they have their hands full with the living and assign it to a rather arrogant DC who has much to learn, both in life and the job. Matt and Liz are handed a bag belonging to Molly, the deceased and it appears she may have been hiding something and they get the green light to investigate further. She wasn't who she first appeared to be and another homeless man knows there is another clue if only he can find it. There is also a teenager missing, one who has gone AWOL before but this time there’s something rather more about it. There’s a clue of “ The Bunker” and it's hard to find out exactly what this is as it's a well kept secret and those in the know are under pressure for it to remain so. What on earth is going on in the fens and why? I love this series (they do stand alone). There’s a wonderful camaraderie between Matt and Liz, and of course Rory
