The Head Teacher by H. M. Lynn

The Head Teacher by H. M. Lynn-psychological thriller

Liz is a rather arrogant, self opinionated head teacher working at a catholic school. Her daughter, now 16, used to go there but moved recently due to an incident which the family kept private but citing that she would rather not be at the same school where her mother is head. Walking into an assembly one day Liz finds a picture of her from the past that she hasn't seen before up large on the screen for the world to see. She has her suspicions as to who may be targeting her, but when they involve her daughter things go from bad to worse. Who is doing their best to destroy both her and her family and why?

Oh this is a very clever premise and one I raced through. Usually I like the main character but in this case things were slightly different but I still felt for her predicament. A person who holds power and then the carpet is pulled from under them and they don’t know where it is coming from or what is coming next, how well thought out this is. A book I found myself turning ever faster, it’s a very engaging read. A very solid 4 stars and I look forward to more in this genre from this author (I know it’s rather different from her usual ones!). Nice one!

The Head Teacher

The higher you climb, the harder the fall. I would never have been hired if they knew what I’d done. My past. St Ann’s is a strict environment, and after one year in the coveted position of head teacher, I know I can’t put a foot wrong. Some don’t think I deserve this. Others are desperate for the job themselves. And one of those people wants to bring me down. Whoever this person is, they know things about me. Secrets I’ve barely told anybody. And I’m scared what they might uncover if they delve a little deeper. And what they might do to me – and my family – if I don’t get to them first… A taut edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller, from bestselling author H. M. Lynn.

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
