WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING

‘I was lent this at Christmas with not much of a recommendation so I didn't know what to expect and I thought it was amazing. It is so descriptive of the unusual surroundings that the main character lives in, a curious marshland area.’

…

RACHEL’S HOLIDAY

‘ … about a young woman who agrees to go to a "Health Farm" to be helped with her drug addiction, paid for by her family. She agrees, expecting it to be very glamorous and full of media stars, but it is run down and scruffy. The book is quite readable and touching in places as inmates have to talk about their troubles and get sensible counselling.’

…

THE MIDWIFE MURDERS

‘ … a thriller with lost babies and dodgy obstetricians as its main characters, readable but nothing special.’

…

THE GOLDFINCH

‘An amazing book. I won't describe it to you as it covers so many different subjects and emotions and I expect you've all read it. I got a bit bogged down with about the last quarter of the book when it concentrates on criminal gangs bargaining stolen paintings.’

BLEEDING HEART YARD

‘ … routine detective story. Easy read, I wanted to check out this author as our daughter in law asked for a forensic detective novel for Christmas. This one wasn't forensic but one of her other characters is a pathologist.’
