 Message Deleted by KL Slater- psychological thriller

Saffy and Poppy are sisters and quite close. A while ago something happened to Poppy that put Saffy in a complete tailspin and she lost custody of her son Fox who now lives with his father and his girlfriend. Saffy has always been close to Leona since growing up together. Saffy is at an interview when she gets a message from Leona asking for help but not to call or text, which then disappears from her screen, message deleted. Saffy dashes off to find the house empty . A short time later the police turn up at Saffy’s door saying Leona and her family have all gone missing, Saffy possibly being the last person to see them and is hence under suspicion. What on earth is going on and can Saffy still have some time with her son?

Oh wow! Once I started this I found myself racing through it- I was so keen to find out what was going on. Its cleverly written engaging the reader and occasional chapter take us back in time to the three main characters' lives (Saffy, Leona and Poppy). There are numerous twists and turns which put me on the edge of my seat. I liked Saffy and her loyalty to her friends and sister despite everything they had been through. A well thought out, very clever premise and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

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
