The Fake Wife by Sharon Bolton

Posted

The fake wife bit of this book is the start of the story, a story that goes from what appears to be a chance meeting in a hotel restaurant followed by a one night stand to kidnapping, dangerous driving, murders and many layers of intrigue and deception; all excepted when there is a politician involved...

PC Garry Mizon, the 'forever' traffic cop and flower grower was my favourite character together with Lexy Thomas the Detective Sergeant allocated to the case.

Olive is the lead throughout the book and the story is told mainly via her events - present and past. 

Michael, well he's the politician, so not much more to say, is there?

We also have Maddy and Eloise, Michael's ex-wives. Gwen, the ex mother-in-law and her granddaughters.

After a rather cringeworthy and slow start, the story really takes off and we're treated to many layers of intrigue as we get more information about Olive, Michael, Maddy and Eloise - oh, and the meddling Gwen.  


This title will be released on November 9, 2023.

The Russia Leak by Nick Ganaway

Posted
The Russia Leak: A White House hopeful is a real page turner! As per the blurb, we encounter the mistress, extortion, espionage, murder and revenge; all mixed up in a tangle of stories and clues, with clever cliff hangers throughout the book making it difficult to put down. The characters are well developed and the insight into the US political system is well researched and very believable - and clearly corrupt.  It's easy to see that Ganaway is passionate about the thriller genre and influenced by some of the best writers including Connelly, Baldacci, Grisham, and Clancy.  Would it be premature to wish that there will be a sequel? #TheRussiaLeakAWhiteHousehopeful #NetGalley

The Sandcastle Hurricane by Carolyn Brown

Posted
Cousins Tabby and Ellie Mae have recently taken over their aunt’s beachfront bed-and-breakfast in Sandcastle, Texas, and they are planning to redecorate the various rooms when finances allow it. Their plans are put on hold when a hurricane is coming their way and the B&B is suddenly turned into an old people's home. Guests include two estranged sisters with personalities to make you chuckle and pull your hair interchangeably. Then we have two Vietnam veterans who have been best of friends since they came back from the war. Finally, add into the mix good looking handyman and builder Alex and his business partner Ricky, as well as a cat, some kittens and a stray dog. Cue the hurricane and all gets a bit topsy-turvy.. This is a thoroughly enjoyable beach read; preferably with no hurricanes in sight! #TheSandcastleHurricane #NetGalley
