I was asked by NetGalley to review this - wow what a novel.
I read this on half term in garden- I read in one go - difficult topic but was written well and there were twists and turns throughou this story with DI Stratton at the helm
Recommended read due for publication July 9th 2026 in timefor the long school holidays
I was asked to review this book by NetGalley
This story is a love that develops between two childhood friends. This is first of all. We can all relate to this - not just in childhood but a love for years and being there when one needs this.
It is love, family, mother and daughter relationships ( boy do I know about that!!
Iit is what we do for those we love and what difference it makes
Beautiful recommended read and was published May 7th 2026.
I was asked by NetGalley to review this book.
The setting is in the outskirts of Dublin and begins with a beach party. With the feel of Picnic at Hanging Rock - five go into the woods and only four return. A body is found, three families are devistated and it is difficult to xome to terms with the loss and what happened.
Secrets are evident after this, a supernatural layer is hinted at who or what was the killer
A really interesting and intruging story
Readers will have to wait for publication date of February 11th 2027. A really recommended read.
I was asked by the publishers via NetGalley to review this book as I have reviewed this author's work before so it was a pleasure to review this lovely story.
Reading in the garden it is hot today but if I close my eyes I can imagine a glass of van rouge and some local fromage.
Juliet has had cancer and and has separated from her husband and makes the decision to start again in France and open a cafe. This does not start well sd the local Mayor says no to this!
Juliet is strong and the community warms to her and she begins to start again.
Beautiful french characters and a warm community with romance and friendship thrown into the mix.
Due for publication next week will make a great sunbed read this long summer holidays.
I was asked by NetGalley to review this cosy crime novel.
We were in a cottage for half term in Cornwall so apt.
A cosy crime with lots of twists and turns aparently this is book 10 and aptly named Nosey Parker series- why am I late to the table? if you are new to the table - I quite happily read as a standalone but will be reading from book 1 in the long summer school holidays.
We meet Jodie and Nathan (dectective) who are at a luxury resort off the coast of Cornwall. This is aparently their honeymoon but as I gather they have been married already. As you read on this is an undercover investigation requested by the owner. A huge storm is on the way and then a tragedy occurs.
Relatable characters and although a crime novel there is humour thrown into the mix
Due for publication June 26th 2026 so will make a great summer read
What is not to like with Kiley Dunbar - I loved her Borrow a Bookshop series and her Highland series is just as good. We meet again at book number 3 but as with all of her books this can be reads as a standalone.
We meet Euan who has moved in with his grandfather and his wish is to have his own electrician business. Then there is Peaches a fashion student ready to present her project collections for her Masters. This appears to be quite an unlikely couple.
What I love of her stories is things neer go to plan there is a twist in the tale, with a community to die for, wonderful scenery and great characters
Recommended and was published May 1st 2026. This will be a lovely summer read over the long holidays.
Loved this wow a really modern take on writing - well written book about love and the complexitity of realtionships.
I really felt this was real and on a day to day basis getting all the info.
The author writes so well and her characters were real a really good story.
Due for publication in time for the long summer holidays on 16 July 2026.
