  • The Boys from Biloxi

    By John Grisham
    4 stars

    Classic JG courtroom/ lawyer drama but nicely played out in historical setting of Mississippi. Not too much legalese, more character development and context than some of his other novels which made it very readable and engaging.

  • The Secret Midwife

    By Soraya M Lane
    4 stars

    Good read about midwife in the midst of concentration camp and choices to make. Classic recount from future. Felt like it ended almost too soon, could have gone on a bit longer maybe?

  • The Women

    By Kristin Hannah
    4 stars

    Really enjoyed this - lots of interesting historical information and contextual details. Good plot, characters tied up well.

  • Cilka's Journey

    By Heather Morris
    4 stars

    Historical novel following on from 'liberation'.

  • Denniston Rose

    By Jenny Pattrick
    4 stars

    Classic and enjoyable. Great historical novel.

  • Reservoir 13

    By Jon McGregor
    3 stars

    Things I liked - beautiful prose, learning the yearly repetitive cycle of the seasons and language, the flawed and likeableness of the different characters, the gentleness of the rhythm. Things I didn't like - no final tie up of the central theme - the missing girl. WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?!!

  • Maelstrom

    By MacConnell
    2 stars

    I found this really irritating! Trying to be too complex and clever for my liking :)

  • Diane Armstrong

    By The Collaborator
    4 stars

    Interesting story including details about post war Israel that I had never read before. Usual cliche romance but that aside the background was thought provoking and new.

  • The Burning Chambers

    By Kate Mosse
    3 stars

    Not my favourite of Kate Mosse stories but a fun read.

  • Still Water

    By Stuart Harrison
    4 stars

  • 17 Years Later

    By J P Pomare
    4 stars

  • Message Deleted

    By K.L. Slater
    3 stars

    I found the characters quite irritating as the plot could easily have changed if they had all just done slightly different things. I found them hard to sympathise with and the plot was trying too many clever twisty turns. Passed the time.

  • All The Colours of The Dark

    By Chris Whitaker
    5 stars

    Loved this. Immersive, flowing and epic, spanning time and lives as they grow and mature. Friendship, serial killers, family, missing people and discoveries. Gets better as it goes.

  • Past Tense

    By Lee Child
    4 stars

    Fun, typical Jack Reacher novel of stumbling into the drama and death by accident and conquering all, sliding out the other side as humble as ever to hitch his next ride! Easy reading and page turning as always.

  • The missing pieces of Nancy Moon

    By Sarah Sheele
    3 stars

    Classic 'discovery' and secrets set historical novel, sewing and patterns give a different twist. Summer reading :)

  • A line in the Sand

    By Kevin Powers
    4 stars

    Quite a different feel to the crime thriller.

  • The Lost Man

    By Jane Harper
    4 stars

    Beautiful writing, evocative, really sets the scene of life in outback Australia. Great plot.

  • Dry

    By Neal Shusterman, Jarrod Shusterman
    4 stars

    Great book! Disturbing concept and interesting read. Apparently YA but still reads really well as an middle aged adult.

  • The Prometheus Deception

    By Robert Ludlum
    2 stars

    I found the plot line overly complicated and got impatient with it. Good idea but just too convoluted!

  • Persuader

    By Lee Child
    4 stars

  • Enemy Women

    By Paulette Giles
    4 stars

    Great novel, unusual viewpoint, lots of action and good writing.
