My Sister's Boyfriend by Nicola Marsh

My Sister's Boyfriend by Nicola Marsh - psychological thriller 

Noel has not long got out of prison. According to him, he accidentally ran over his twin brother. He is introduced to Brooke who has secrets of her own. Her sister, who recently died, had a child who Brooke is now looking after. The child is hers, one she thought had died at birth. She is introduced to Noel via a mutual friend and there are sparks between them of the good kind. Lizzie, Brooke’s other sister, smells a rat with Noel and looks into his past. They all have secrets that impact lives. Who is telling the truth and who can get away with murder?

OMG! A book that very quickly put me on the edge of my seat with that unsettled feeling of “what's going to happen”? There are two characters who have very good reasons not to trust people until they are sure and this gives a real edgy feeling to the story. It's a captivating, at times complex (but easy to follow as each chapter has a character heading) story and characters I wasn't sure whether to trust or not. “ The truth will always out” or will it? A book I wanted to race through which I really enjoyed.

“I’m going to make you like me, Lizzie,” my sister’s new boyfriend sneers. I arrange my features into a pleasant mask, willing myself not to look anxiously for the door. He thinks he’s always one step ahead, but he has no idea how far I’ll go to protect my family…

Noel never should have been released from prison. My job helping ex-prisoners turn over a new leaf usually warms my heart, but as soon as I lock eyes with Noel the skin along the nape of my neck prickles. He wasn’t locked up for a petty crime; it was manslaughter. And now he’s dating my sister.

Brooke says she’s never met a man who makes her feel so cherished and protected. That a single brush of his hand makes her heart flutter. A knight in shining armor who will finally lay to rest the twisted secrets in her past.

But he whispers words to me that Brooke can’t hear. Words that sound like threats. And I do the one thing I know I shouldn’t: I search through his prison files to find out all his secrets. And with trembling hands I discover that he didn’t kill his brother by accident…

Noel has no idea what I’m capable of. He could never imagine the darkness that lurks in our family. The things we’ll do to protect our own.

I nearly lost Brooke once, and I’ll never let that happen again…

An addictive, page-turning psychological thriller from USA Today bestseller Nicola Marsh. Fans of The Housemaid, Lisa Jewell and Mark Edwards will feel their hearts race as they find twist after twist!

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 coff...

  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...
