One Midnight With You by Shari Low -women’s fiction

Another treasure of a read from Shari Low, one I didn’t want to end. One of my books of the year.

 Aliish is struggling with the fact that she is about to become a divorced woman. Her mind is taken off this by her friend being in hospital hoping the cancer she had a while back hasn’t returned. Her daughter Emmy is hoping her boyfriend isn't following the same path as her father, but she has her suspicions. Minnie has a secret present she is hoping to give to a very special friend at their next meeting. Dario is praying that something will come along rapidly to sort out his business problems with the family restaurant, as this could be the last new year it survives. All of these people usually celebrate Hogmanay at Gino’s restaurant. They have been going for years and couldn't imagine being anywhere else. Can they each solve their problems?

Shari has a special skill, a talent for enveloping the reader, almost in a hug in a book. One where I found myself quickly invested in the characters and wanting to find out what happens to them. Each chapter is from one of the main characters and is very easy to follow.

An author who is one of the few where I don’t need to read the scenario before I decide whether to read the book- I know just seeing Shari’s name means that it's one to go to the top of my list. I read around 200 books a year and I really can only say this for a handful of authors. I smiled, I held my breath and yes I cried. The midnight chapter really is something to behold. A real gem, a treasure of a read. 10* if I could.

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.

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.

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- 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
