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.

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
