The Forgotten One by Catherine Bybee

Following on from "All Our Tomorrows" which was released earlier this year, "The Forgotten One" takes off where that story ended.

Chase and Alex have succeeded in finding their half brother - Max, but even if he believed them, which he doesn't, he is not really interested in a public life.

So far the tabloids have not got wind of the story, but it looks like someone has been talking to one of them... Sarah is working for one of the gossip rags and she's asked by her boss to find the story or lose her job. Problem is that Sarah refuses to make things up. She's hoping for a serious career and don't want to write any stories which may stop her from getting a job with one of the proper papers.

Max and Sarah literally bump into each other and after a bit of lies and tension, they work together to control the story, carefully working their way through the many obstacles set in their path.

I liked how Chase, Alex and Max work together, how Max finds his place and how his relationship with Sarah develops. I am looking forward to the final instalment in the series, as there are still loose ends.

The Harbour Lights Mystery by Emylia Hall

Lovely, laid back off-season Cornwall is the scene for The Harbour Lights Mystery written by Emylia Hall. It's the second book about the Shell House Detectives, but you can read it standalone (although you may like it as much as I did and read the first book in the series afterwards!). December in Cornwall and there are probably more locals than tourists attending when the famous Christmas lights are turned on in Mousehole harbour. Ally, one half of the Shell House Detectives, is watching the lights with her friend Gus and she's worrying that he may be after more than friendship. Anything that was about to be said is abruptly stopped when there is a piercing scream ripping through the darkness. Joining the crowds, Ally finds out that someone has been brutally murdered and dumped in a fisherman’s boat. It turns out that the victim is the not so very popular chef JP Sharpe, but what has Ally and her detective partner intrigued is an unfinished letter found in Sharpe's coat p...

The Social Distance Between Us / Hostile Environments by Darren McGarvey

This book seems to have two different titles: 'Hostile Environments' and ' The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain' This is a MUST read!! A real eye opener and a perfect book to base important discussions on. Yes, the book contains views belonging to certain political camps, but the painstakingly detailed research that has gone into creating this book including a huge number of real life examples make Darren McGarvey and his book forces to be reckoned with. Politicians, policy makers and those who want to, or more importantly can , influence decision making in Britain, should make it a priority to read this book. The book extensively discusses how proximity is one of the biggest reasons for failure in most of the political system used in Britain today. The lack of actual lived experience of policy makers in Whitehall and the devolved nations, make policies fail miserably; in many cases not by ill-intent, but because the policy makers just c...

The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club by Wanda E Brunstetter

This is not your typical quilting club! Title: The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club Author: Wanda E Brunstetter Quick and easy read with some heartwarming sections; all in all a feel-good, easy read. Emma (an Amish widow) decides to start a quilting club to earn some extra money to support herself, rather than getting re-married or relying on her children to take care of her. Joining her quilt club is an unlikely mixture of people from outside the Amish community; young Star is holding a grudge against her mother at the same time as trying to cope with her beloved grandma’s recent passing; on the surface Ruby Lee is well put together but underneath not everything is as it seems; Pam and Stuart have been married for a while but has started to grow apart; biker Jan is covered in tattoos and on parole from prison when his parole officer suggests he tries something creative; finally we have Paul who is trying to build a life after his wife passed away and left him with the...
