A weekend away and a murder in this delightful cosy mystery story. I had the honour of reading an Advanced Reader’s Copy (ARC) of this enjoyable book. I’m so glad I did. Released today 16th June, Ellen Read has created another beautiful story. Set on the 1920s/30s, it was the era of elegance. Although this… Continue reading Murder at Monterey by Ellen Read

Books for June
I don’t usually like planning books to read in advance. I’ve always chosen what appeals at the time. For the past time year post apocalyptic stories have dominated my preferences and I can’t see that changing much. However, this month's book contain two. Screenshot Power is the seventh book of The Burning Tree series. I've… Continue reading Books for June
My Review – Fault Lines Upheaval by Harley Tate
This book was presented to me on Amazon as ‘similar’ books I might like. Well, I did. It was excellent. It is about a family, Clint, his estranged wife Daphne, and their daughter, Mika who were all in different parts of the state when the earthquake strikes. Each person has a different chapter which tells… Continue reading My Review – Fault Lines Upheaval by Harley Tate
My Review – Angel of Death by Ben Cheetham
This was my WI Book Club this month. After A Thousand Splendid Suns I was hoped for something more my style. Angel of Death fitted the bill perfectly. It was a fast paced extremely dark crime thriller. I winced in places hoping it wouldn’t go into too much detail, and it didn’t. But it was… Continue reading My Review – Angel of Death by Ben Cheetham
My Review – Looking Good Dead by Stephen Puleston
This is book number twelve and I’ve read them all over the last eleven years. The thing I love most is they are set in north Wales where I live. Often based on Anglesey, or like this story, they frequently visit. Inspector Drake and his team of now familiar detectives are faced with a murder… Continue reading My Review – Looking Good Dead by Stephen Puleston
My Review of Dig Two Graves by Helen H. Durrant
I saw this advertised on Facebook by Joffe Books. I fancied a crime story and it was in Kindle Unlimited, too. I also noticed it was a brand new book, released less than a month ago. Although this is the first book of what will be a series, it made several references to a previous… Continue reading My Review of Dig Two Graves by Helen H. Durrant
My Review of Contact by Avery Blake and Johnny B. Truent
I recently reviewed the first book of the series, Invasion. It was so good I had to move on to this, the second book. The family from the first story have now reached their destination, a bunker hidden below the house. Meyer, the father, had built in case of an emergency, but none suspected that… Continue reading My Review of Contact by Avery Blake and Johnny B. Truent
My Review – Hide and Seek by Julia Blake
I’ve read the previous five books in the series and when this one came out on the 27th March, I bought it and read it before the end of the month. As I said above, if the book has Julia’s name on the front, you know you are in for a good read. Each book… Continue reading My Review – Hide and Seek by Julia Blake
My Review – Summer Season at Sandy Coves by Michele E. Northwood
I saw this in the Norns Triad Book Group and I was able to chat with the author. She said Summer Season at Sandy Coves is the first book of a trilogy, and books two and three are coming out shortly. This is a fun read and told mainly through the viewpoint of Julia, who… Continue reading My Review – Summer Season at Sandy Coves by Michele E. Northwood
My Review – Saving Sahara by Ravyn Wilde
I found this on Sahara’s Blog and being the same name and liking historical novels, I downloaded it. Well, it served me right for not reading the description properly. I only read part of it and as it sounded good and mentioned vampires, I was sold! Beautiful Sahara has an illness that is terminal. She… Continue reading My Review – Saving Sahara by Ravyn Wilde
