Jigsaw Guilt by Jeffrey Ashford

I listened to this OCTOBER 2018
I like listening to detective stories, especially when I'm ironing...

A missing person enquiry turns into a murder enquiry, which turns into a murder of a person other than the missing one! sounds complicated but it wasn't really, but very entertaining to listen to
Good plot twists and turns.

Cold Relations by Gerald Hammond

I listened to this October 2018
An interesting thriller set in Scotland.  Family intrigue, dog napping, hunting, shooting, and a relative in the freezer...


The Cunning Man by Celia Rees

I listened to this October 2018

Set in Pembrokeshire! a modern family rent a cottage by the sea. Wreckers, ghosts, dirty dealing.  I think this might be a cross-over /young adult book.
Very enjoyable listen

The Accident by Linwood Barclay

I read this Summer of 2018

I like Linwood Barclay books, they are easy to read and not so formulaic as others.  This one says ' Glen Garbers  has spiraled out of control.  His wife's car has been found at the scene of a drink - driving accident which took three lives. Not only is she dead, but it appears she was the cause of the accident.
The plot thickens...more deaths, prescription drugs, fake handbags, nothing is quite what it seems

The Midnight Line by Lee Child

I read this Summer 2018
I like to read a light book sometimes...one where you don't have to concentrate.
This is another Jack Reacher novel in the same vein as all the others . This one involves a wounded veteren  and prescription drug dealing.

The Light Years by Elizabeth Jane Howard

I read this October 2018 for the Pater Reading Group the new Book Club at the Library.

If this book has a plot, well I missed it! it is set in 1937 and 1938 , so the interwar years, just before the the start of WWII.  It centres around a family the Cazalets.  I just couldn't get to grips with it and will not be reading any more in the series .
