Friendships in the road are challenged as neighbours deal or don‘t deal with their frustrations

Megan and Chloe have been friends from uni and move in together but need a housemate Sammi to share the cost. The saying three is a crowd comes to mind and it not harmonious. Friendships are tested. I was totally sucked in to the story and thought I had an idea of the end. How wrong could I have been.

Neve day goes from bad to worse walking in to find the body of her lover. Neve‘s first instinct is to remove any signs that she had been there in order to protect her family. I found the detective in this book very much in the vein of Columbo and all a little far fetched. A definite who done it where there are a few people all with motive. An alright read but not one of my favourites

This book was a good read but was a little on the far fetched side. Aimee husband goes missing and she her finds herself accused of his murder. After this an already complicated life unravels further nobody appears to be who they say they are. Aimee has already lived a life most could not dream of. It‘s a good book and worth a read but the ending was just a little bit too far outside my imagination

This book was amazing and such an insight into the world of a person living with dementia. Helping raising the awareness. Thank you Wendy for putting into words your life. The courage and resilience coping with the losses and the uncertainty of the foggy times. The world with dementia is not one that was envisaged it steals the future that was dreamt of. A very powerful read and definitely one that really touched me

Such a really easy read so easy I read it in a day. The title is really apt you really could not see what was coming. Although the topic is a murder it feels like there is a lighthearted element to the book which makes it fresh and different. Love this author

It starts with a murder and a young woman in a coma . Jessica is asked to write a piece on the incident only to find that she knows the family from childhood and is torn between her job and her past friendship. There is a history as Helens sister flora disappeared from a fairground when she was young. The book goes between the past and the present but is really easy to keep pace with. A page turner as every page leaves you with another question

The story is told through the view point of the mother the father and the daughter. Every chapter left you with more questions. Nice to come across a new author who gets me hooked 💜

Another brilliant police procedural book by caro ramsay. Having followed the series from the beginning they just keep getting better.

Not my favourite book in the series to date. Struggled to get into it and did restart it. Noah is struggling after the death of his brother and the case he is working in us triggering issues. The team as a whole try and protect him but at the same time there is s case to solve where children are dying. The book deals with drugs gangs and knife crime so important topics just feel there was something missing in the character depth

This book is brilliant really made me think about conversations I had not had with my family. One family impacted by events in one year which upended the whole family. Each person dealing with things in their own way but nobody talking. So much guilt and blame. Three decades later these unsaid conversations are impacting new and old relationships and are keeping a family at odds. Have the tissues ready for this one but definitely read it

Could you ever think the unthinkable. A loving mother who worries about her son and the impact of past events. A school that discourages parents into the school. A father with no access to the child and in the middle of all this a child. Tough subject matter but excellent book with vet plausible characters. 💜

A really gritty book but some parts I found hard to read. Sophie comes from a average and innocent background and goes on to attend oxford university drawn into a world of privilege. What starts out as trying to fit in turns into something a lot more sinister. The tale flits from julianne to Sophie and from past to present. You can never outrun the past.

A normal ordinary family on the outside but what you see I not always what is going on. Woman start to go missing from a town and a pervious killer is thought to be at large scaring the community.

This book was so moving. At the centre is one poorly little boy surrounded by love but what happens when parents don‘t agree on a way forward. You follow the parents through there turmoil where there is no right or wrong path. This book grabs you and holds you till you turn the last page.

Imagine waking up one morning and everything you know is a lie and there was possibly a life before in a totally different country. Kim could have been sammy. Kim journeys back to where her life could have started to meet with a family she knew nothing about. Brilliant book full of the unexpected. The book goes between what was happening at the time of the disappearance and present day. I will be adding this author to my ones to watch. 💜

This series of books gets better and better. A brilliant police procedural book. Someone is committing crimes that means there is nowhere for Kim to hide. Her past is being played out in front of her eyes. The author captures the team spirit and this come through the whole book. There is a humour in the team. Brilliant already excited about the next book

I can‘t rate this book highly enough it was so thought provoking. This book conveys such an important message but in such s beautiful way. The story moves between the past and present until the lives of Vivienne and Shelley collide. Vivienne is on the transplant list and you see the impact this has on her and her family. It‘s about love and living with limitations and the love of family and friends and Living in hope

This was our first introduction to DI Maya Rahman and I hope we get to see a lot more of her. A really enjoyable police procedural book exploring cultural issues. I think she is a detective that will grow. A book with a great storyline to sink your teeth into. An author to watch

Another masterpiece by Fiona Barton. So interesting when you follow Kate a reporter in one role yet on the other hand you follow her emotional journey as a mother whose son Jake has been away from home. I really liked the fact that you follow the story from different perspectives, the detective, the journalist, the parent and the girls. Brilliant storyline with a few twists thrown in for good measure 💜

Brilliant book from cover to cover. Jessica enters a research project but little did she know where it would lead and what was at stake. I could not turn the pages fast enough as I wanted to know more but yet I wanted the book never to end. Lovely to see a book with fresh ideas and a different plot 💜

This book was heartbreaking but also held a sense of hope. The book follows the birth of a little girl born with cystic fibrosis and how the family tried to come to terms with the diagnosis. The book covered a really hard subject and has opened my eyes to something I had no knowledge on. Beautifully written

Having never read any books by Cecelia Ahern before and not being a lover of short stories I was blown away by this book. The authors power at getting you invested in the story in the opening page was amazing. Some of the stories really made me think and gave me a different perspective. Really loved this book

This book was interesting as the start if the book was almost the end You start with the incident and then you go back and discover how it all came about. It took a little while for me to get into the book and get a connection with the characters but it certainly pick up its pace and became a rollercoaster of twists and turns at the end 💜

An enjoyable read reminds me a bit of a Agatha Christie type mystery. A litte too far from reality for me but it did keep me going till the end

I really got involved in the book and the characters of of the story 💜

Amanda Prowse really knows how to get the reader gripped and a warning you will need the tissues for this one. Beautifully written you really get a sense of the emotions the family feels over the loss of Oscar. The grief felt and the jumble of emotions and also how people cope differently. Thought it was brilliant. I need a new box of tissues now though 💜

All the while Kelly struggles to feel like she fits in with family, the relationship with her sister is particularly difficult. This book grabs you and pulls you into the lives of Kelly and the rest of the team

There is a new detective on the block Natalie Ward who is heading up the team. It all starts with the discovery of a child‘s body. Following the Disappearance from a birthday party years earlier could this be related. If you like a good procedural book this is one to add to the pile.
