My Review; ‘The third in the Calladine & Bayliss series, and another great crime read. The dynamic between the two is pitched just right, and I absolutely don’t want Calladine to leave! The body of a woman, nailed to planks of wood, provides an interesting crime to solve, and the story is woven around the…read more August Book Review; Dead Bad by Helen H. Durrant

July Book Review… Summer of Peace by Caroline Andrus
My Review; A lovely little novella about first love, and not quite perfect relationships that actually work. This is well written, buzzy, and leaves the reader with that warm fuzzy feeling. JoJo is satisfyingly ‘real’ and the male characters are also well drawn, and engaging. The ‘one that got away’ theme is never taken to…read more July Book Review… Summer of Peace by Caroline Andrus
May Book Review… Murder at Work by Faith Martin
My Review Oh no, DI Hillary Greene is retiring! Luckily she isn’t off on her canal boat quite yet, and this latest installment kept me amused on a long plane journey.

Despite having misgivings about giving up her…read more May Book Review… Murder at Work by Faith Martin

As usual the characters are well…read more April Book Review… Murder by Fire by Faith Martin
March Book Review… Murder in the Garden by Faith Martin
My Review; “My fave so far in this series. I’m still catching up as I started on book four, but these can be read as standalones. DI Hillary Greene is still as feisty as ever, and the usual trail of murder suspects is cleverly arranged. Tight, nice little mysteries with very likable characters. These are…read more March Book Review… Murder in the Garden by Faith Martin
March Book Review… Murder in the Mansion by Faith Martin
Thrilled to be a stop on the tour for Faith Martin’s new release, bestselling, Murder in the Mansion. Less thrilled that I am typing this a second time after my computer ditched my first blog post *scream of frustration*. Back to the book. Great series, with great covers that look good on any bookshelf. The…read more March Book Review… Murder in the Mansion by Faith Martin
