  • The Mayfair Affair

    By Tracy Grant
    4 stars

    Interesting characters, a holiday mix of mystery and romance set in post Napoleanic Wars England. I enjoyed this one.

  • London Interlude

    By Tracy Grant
    4 stars

    Period novel with engaging characters and a very interesting relationship - short but satisfying

  • The Elements

    By John Boyne
    1 stars

    An award winning book, well-written but too dark for me. Disturbing themes. I could only read the first book of the 4.

  • The Secret Book Society

    By Madeline Martin
    5 stars

  • Murder and the Maitre D'

    By Alex Coombs

  • How to age Disgracefully

    By Clare Pooley
    5 stars

    A very funny book about an unlikely group of people in a struggling community who navigate saving their local community centre with hilarious results. Laugh-out-loud moments on every page.

  • The Penford Manor Murders

    By Fiona Veitch Smith
    3 stars

    A light holiday read, the 2nd I've read of this series. Starting to get a little bit predictable, but fun. Perhaps not hooked enough to read anymore in the series, but no regrets.

  • The Pantomime Murders

    By Fiona Veitch Smith
    3 stars

    A light and fun period mystery.

  • Vera, or Faith

    By Gary Shteyngart
    4 stars

    An uncomfortable tale set in a believably disintegrating America told from the perspective of an intelligent but very complex child. Themes of family, forgiveness and redemption in the face of betrayal leave a sense of hope rather than bitterness as the story comes to a close.

  • Trouble in the Alps

    By Vivian Conroy
    3 stars

    A quick holiday read. A light but enjoyable series.

  • Pardonable Lies

    By Jacqueline Winspear
    4 stars

    A period mystery series with an engaging detective. Lots of threads somehow all interweaved into the story. A holiday read - nothing too serious.

  • Softly calls the devil

    By Chris Blake
    4 stars

    A page-turner crime mystery that kept me guessing. Set in atmospheric and breath-taking wild west coat with a likeable broken hero battling his own demons.
