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

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

My kids are a bit older now, so they understand that this is ‘work’, but that doesn’t stop them from wandering in and out,…read more Be Quiet… I’m trying to Write!
Jan Book Review… ‘Murder in the Meadow’ by Faith Martin
My Review DI Hillary Greene returns in this latest installment of Faith Martin’s brilliant series. There is quite a bit of character shift in this book, which keeps the story fresh. We are introduced to Gemma Fordham, who clearly has a hidden agenda. Hillary Greene is her usual feisty, stubborn, likable self, and this book…read more Jan Book Review… ‘Murder in the Meadow’ by Faith Martin
