The Cottage By The Sea by Keri Beevis- psychological thriller

Oh blimey! Where do I start? A read that had me galloping through it, keeping me up at night, wanting, no,  needing, to find out what was going on! 

Harper lost her husband Charlie following a car crash two years ago. Her friend Megan has encouraged her to start dating and she has signed up to a paying app hoping this will mean a more genuine type of person from the horror stories she has heard about. She meets a few dates, soon learning that some really aren't who they say they are and in the process meets Luke who rescues her when she fell and hurt herself and soon he becomes a friend. Harper starts getting odd things happening- literally bumps in the night and feels that someone has been in her house but nothing she can really put her finger on. One thing leads to another and then she finds out things about her husband she never imagined possible. A cottage holding secrets that make Harper physically sick when she first sees them. Who is after her and are they related to the cottage and what went on there?

OMG! There are some books that we say we can't put down and some that hold on like glue- this is one of them. It's dark and twisty and gives the reader that delicious sense of unease that something is amiss. My “ suspects” changed I think with every chapter as there are so many threads each that could lead to something or nothing (it will make sense once read).I never once suspected the main perpetrator- so well is this written. This has to be one of the best psychological thrillers I've ever read and I read around 200 books a year. Stunning, captivating, brilliant, twisty. What more can I say? 10*

The Cottage By The Sea How well do you really know your husband? Two years ago, my whole world was ripped apart when my husband and best friend were killed in a car accident in Norfolk. Since then, I've struggled to come to terms with my overwhelming grief and to understand why they were together in Charlie’s car that fateful day. I know I can’t carry on with my reclusive lifestyle, hiding away, alone in this big house. I have to find a way to start living again. Following a friend’s advice, I sign up to a reputable dating site, IntoYou. She tells me it’s the perfect way to meet someone, and when I quickly get a match, I believe she is right. I am surprised how easy this is. But it seems I have a lot to learn. Anyone can hide behind a computer screen, using the sinister mask of anonymity. It seems by exposing myself I've attracted the wrong kind of attention. Strange things start to happen in my life and shocking secrets come to light. Evil is watching me and it is connected to my past. Will I see the danger before it’s too late? Purchase Link - https://mybook.to/cottagebytheseasocial

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.

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.

  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-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
