Murder at Melrose Court by Karen Baugh Menuhin – too much forced humour Stealing the Crown by TP Fielden – an odd concept with crime in Buckingham Palace. Trust No-one by Debra Webb – a prologue that gives away part of the ending put me off The Herring Seller’s Apprentice by LC Tyler – a boring whodunnitĪ Light Amongst Shadows by Kelly York – it didn’t seem worth wading through present tense
It began to be obvious that this was an American author with a sketchy understanding of Scottish culture. Work for it by Talia Hibbert*** Another sweet but unmemorable mm romance set in a small English town during the elderflower harvest.Įdinburgh Twilight by Carole Lawrence* Poor writing and research. Summer with the country village vet by Zara Stoneley*** Basically boring romance (chicklit?) with a lot of repetition/padding. Meet me in Cocklebury Bay by Nicola May*** Nowhere near as good as the first because it lacks the novelty and suspense but I’ve bought the third so will read it.Īs Big as the Sky by Amy Aislin*** nicely written but ultimately unmemorable mm romance. Merely having a detective of colour is not enough… The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths*** Another humdrum UK thriller. Paper Girls by Alex Smith*** Humdrum UK police procedural. Very well done.ĭon’t make a sound by TR Ragan *** Unmemorable thriller centred round a disfunctional US family and their partial memories. A slightly dark story, outside my normal reading. Nice story and I might buy the sequel.Įchoes of Blood by Fiona Glass**** Liverpool vampires. Moonstone by K-lee Klein**** Stone Magic bk 1 Tattoos and magic. Romantic Renovations by Blake Allwood **** a TV reality show plus skulduggery. Spellbound/Starcrossed by Allie Therin***** Rory and Ace with magic in 1920s Manhattan – look out for Wonderstruck in 2021! Gorgeous trilogy which mixes fantasy, politics and lgbtq themes. Nightvine/Shadebloom by Felicia Davin***** The Gardener’s Handbook 2 and 3. Master Wolf by Joanna Chambers ***** (Capital wolves bk 2) Werewolves in historical Edinburgh. True Lies *** (again) Once the novelty and suspense have worn off, the film loses its sparkle. Teacher with Tourette’s**** Interesting and I hope her career goes well The Teacup Poisoner **** Another programme about Graham Young the psychopathic serial killer, or just possibly a re-watch George V: The Tyrant King**** Fascinating look at the life of a rarely mentioned monarch. My generation but I think we were on our honeymoon at the time – at any rate, we missed even mentions on the news! Woodstock: Three Days that defined a generation**** Interesting.
