The Bookseller by Tim Sullivan- Crime

A man is found killed in the flat of his father whom he was checking on after a trip away. George Cross isn't quite like any other detective, he’s one in a million. George has Asperger's which means he sees things differently to others and can't settle until the truth is found- which has made him a highly, if slightly unpopular detective with those that don’t understand him. His father is about to go for an operation and as ever George has numerous questions before he can let it settle. The case has little to go on, but as ever George and team research and find the little things that can lead to cracking the case wide open. 

I can't help but love George. He says what we all think without the filter but is slowly learning courtesy of Ottey who is now a DI and George thinks that will be the end of their working together now she has been promoted, but is it?. He is concerned about his father but wants to finish the case and as ever in true George style spends hours  researching the topic of books as well as his father condition. It's a clever plot with lots of twists and turns even when the reader thinks the perpetrator has been sorted, George has a lightbulb moment which often changes things. Clever, gripping, light-hearted and brilliant. Five stars really aren't enough for this series, its genius. Just like George!

The Bookseller by Tim Sullivan About the books 'George Cross is becoming one of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO TURN THEIR LAST PAGE... THE SETTING The body of a bookseller is discovered, lying in a pool of blood in his Bristol bookshop. Police have one question: how did the man meet such a violent, murderous end in this peaceful place? THE CONFLICT DS Cross’s ability to dismiss red herrings is challenged by a worrying development in his personal life. Hopelessly distracted, he needs to rely on those around him in a way he has never been comfortable doing before.


THE MURDER PLOT It may be a quiet profession, but it’s full of passionate, ambitious characters who know the value of a rare book. Their extensive reading means they also know how to get away with murder. But is that enough to fool the tenacious DS George Cross? Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, this is the seventh book in the bestselling series, which can be read in any order. About the author

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...

A Random Kill by Andrew Barrett

  A Random Kill by Andrew Barrett - Crime This is a new series from Andy and only a couple of chapters in and I'm  already hooked on Regan. She is a no nonsense, no filter type sergeant who dives in and doesn't let go. For anyone who knows Andy’s work will know of Eddie (who makes the occasional appearance in this), Regan could well be his sister from another mother, ‘nuff said. Oh boy, was I looking forward to diving into this one.  A woman has been found shot dead. Her son is missing who was with her in his pushchair. Her partner at first appears clean but is soon found to be lurking in the criminal shadows of a potential OCG.  Regan has been moved to MCU. She hates dead bodies and doesn't know why the move came about- until she clocks it- her ex, a DCI arranged it purposefully. She goes back to her maiden name, her parents were huge fans of a certain 70’s crime programme right down to signed prints. To prove her worth in her new position, and to earn the respect ...
