Death at Fakenham Races by Ross Greenwood- Crime Thriller  

When a body is found at the racecourse, DI Ashley knight knows it likely to be something to do with that world. The majority of murders are carried out by someone the victim knows, the motive usually being love, money or hate/revenge. The racing world is careful these days of insider dealing/betting but in a world where fortunes are won and lost in a heartbeat, there will always be the dark side. Can Ashley and her team find the killer before more damage is done?

Ross as ever has done his research well (unless of course he is a secret jockey or owner!) and this shines through in this intriguing plot. The racing/horse world can be complex to an outsider but anyone who knows these magnificent, beautiful creatures will appreciate the words of the ex jockey which touched me. It’s clever and captivating, just how I like a crime book. No way could I guess the perpetrator even well into the book. The descriptions put the reader in the heart of things and the characters are likeable and there’s a little humour to ease things along.  A wonderful, highly entertaining read I thoroughly enjoyed

More Life as a Dog by L.A Davenport

  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 - 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 ...

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.
