Family Doctor by J M Dalgliesh - psychological thriller

Dr Kelly Murray lives on a remote Scottish Island where she is the GP. Out of the blue she gets a message to say her daughter has been kidnapped and she must do as they say in order to release her. A video of her daughter is attached which horrifies her. Kelly has a past, something few know about and she wishes to keep it that way. Can she secure the safe release of her daughter without having to obey the terrible instructions?

Ooooh! I very quickly got into this and found myself wanting more. It's a clever concept, carefully crafted and one to tantalise the reader. I liked Kelly and felt for her predicament. One minute life is normal and the next through no fault of your own you are sent into a tailspin not knowing quite where it will end. What to do or not to do? A very clever, captivating read that kept me within the pages and I really enjoyed it.

I have three days to kill a patient. If I fail, my daughter will die…

As the only doctor on a stunning remote Scottish island, I finally feel safe and happy. Here, nobody knows about my troubled past except my teenage daughter Lauren. I'm a single mother, so it’s just the two of us now, and Lauren is my world.

Caring for every person on the island, from birth to death, I know all their fears and secrets. But they don’t know mine, and for the sake of my daughter, I must keep it that way…

Everything is going perfectly until I am sent a link to a live video stream of my beautiful daughter Lauren, her wide blue eyes terrified. And there’s a voice:

‘Three rules. Three days.
You must murder one of your patients.
You must not tell another soul.
You must not get caught.
If you fail, your daughter dies…’

A jaw-dropping psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. This utterly addictive, pulse-pounding read is packed with twists you’ll never forget. Perfect for anyone who loves Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

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.

  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...

  The Girl from Berchtesgaden by Alistair Birch & Kim Rigby- historical thriller    Oh wow! A book I started and didn’t want to put down as I held my breath……. This tells the story of Ingrid and Dieter, brother and sister, who try to escape Nazi Germany in the early 1930’s. Hitler has risen to power and anti- semitism is on the rise which both Ingrid and Dieter have fallen foul of, to their cost. Their Father should have been travelling with them but was found out and detained whilst the children managed to get away. Ingrid, once in England and grown up, decides to take a new path to help try and put things right. Her bravery and courage are admirable and although fiction reminded me that things like this really did happen during the war. A book I was enthralled by and learnt something along the way. For all the numerous war books I've read I didn't know about Oswald Mosley and the fascist uprising in this country. Although we were not invaded, some were fighting the ...
