<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carol Childs is in the middle of one of the biggest stories of her life. Her daughter Cate has returned from college with a boyfriend in tow. A photographer who police suspect to be The Model Slayer, responsible for the murder of three young women. Not since the Hillside Strangler has Los Angeles been so on edge. And when the police arrest Cate’s boyfriend, Carol’s personal life and professional worlds collide. A tattooed cocktail waitress calls the radio station and asks to speak with Carol off the record. She knows the true identity of the real Model Slayer because she says she killed him. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tensions mount as the clock ticks. The police are convinced they have the right man. Mother and daughter aren’t talking. Carol can’t reveal to investigators all she knows, and unless Carol can find the real killer before the trial begins, an innocent man may spend the rest of his life in prison or be executed for a crime he didn’t commit. </div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This is the story of Carol Childs and her daughter, her relation as a mother/daughter is not good, but they are planning to change it when Cate's boyfriend is arrested to be a serial killer. This situation, instead of helping their relation it makes it worse, and when Carol receive a call telling her things about the case, will put her in a complicated situation; will she tell her source or she will start investigating to discover the truth without telling everything?</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been an interesting read, not only for the mystery but for the questions that makes the reader ask, because there's been always a lot of "trouble" with the journalist law that they don't have to report their sources, and this case makes you read first handed their reason to do it, so what do you think? They should reveal their source or protect them?</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Reason To Doubt is a twisted mystery, full of interesting characters and a very interesting read.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I haven't read any of the previous Carol Childs Mystery series, this is the 5th of the series, but you can read it as standalone, and let me say that the book is worth the read! ;)</span></div>

Nancy Cole Silverman’s realization that she and Edgar Allen Poe shared the same birthday sparked her lifelong interest in mystery fiction. After a very successful career in the radio industry she turned to writing, and her crime-focused novels and short stories have attracted readers throughout America. Her Carol Childs Mysteries series (Henery Press) features a single-mom whose “day job” as a reporter at a busy Los Angeles radio station often leads to long nights as a crime-solver. Silverman lives in Los Angeles with her husband and a thoroughly pampered standard poodle.</div>

Being a travel lover is not easy with a little child, they are not yet eating adult food but you want them to have a healthy diet; with vegetables, fruit and proteins, of course! So, when I travel or eat out I always take a fruit pouch with us, it makes me feel more confident about my little one's diet, he can eat as much as "fast food" as he wants but I know he will have a healthy dessert and of course a better meal, next time!</div>

I am sure I am not the only mother being concerned about the Kid's Menu on the restaurants, some of them have fruit or salad as a green dish, but if you child is young provably will not eat it! So having a pouch is the best way to know our little children will eat something healthy on their meal, so that's why I want to share with you the Squeeze by DelMonte.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am sure you know that <a href="http://www.delmonteeurope.com/">DelMonte</a> is not a kids brand, but maybe that's why I feel more confident on the product inside the pouch, DelMonte is one of the largest USA fruit producers, so you can know for sure that the fruit inside the kids pouches is 100%, so totally healthy!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Squeezie by DelMonte range has three different fruit mixing to choose, the <a href="http://www.delmonteeurope.com/products/fruit-snacks/squeezie/squeezie-Apple-strawberry-blueberry.htm">Apple-Strawberry-Blueberry</a>, the <a href="http://www.delmonteeurope.com/products/squeezie/squeezie-apple-mango.htm">Apple-Mango</a> and the <a href="http://www.delmonteeurope.com/products/squeezie/squeezie-Apple-banana-strawberry.htm">Apple-Strawberry-Banana</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Georgia Thackery is feeling pretty good about her summer job teaching at prestigious Overfeld College, and she’s renting a rustic cabin right by a lake for herself, her daughter, Madison, and her best friend, Sid the Skeleton. Together again, the trio are enjoying the quiet when a teenager named Jen shows up looking for her friend. Georgia doesn’t recognize the name, but she learns that the person Jen was looking for is actually Sid.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sid reveals that he and Jen are part of a regular online gaming group that formed locally, and one of their members has gone missing. Sid admits that he might have bragged about his investigative prowess, enough so that Jen wants him to find their missing player. Given that Sid doesn’t have many friends offline—none, really, unless you count the Thackery family—Georgia agrees to help him search. They manage to discreetly enlist Jen, who lives in town, and follow the clues to... a dead buddy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now they've got a killer on their hands. Probing the life of Sid's friend, they realize a lot is wrong both on campus and in the seemingly quaint town, and someone doesn't want them looking deeper.</div>
</div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Can you imagine having a skeleton as a friend?</span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Don't be surprised, Sid is Georgia Thackery best friend, the only curios thing is that Sid is a skeleton, who talks and moves like a human, without the skin...!</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">So when Sid and Georgia discover a body at the college Georgia is working part time, and Georgia discovers that Sid knew him, they couldn't resist to investigate the murder, discovering some deep secrets at the college they are working!</span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been an interesting read, let me say I am not used to read books where one of the main characters is a skeleton that talks and moves, but lucky for Georgia, even if sometimes he is the one that puts her in danger, he is ready to save her in the moments of need. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This book talks about gaming platforms and the connection between the gamers, because these people play together and even if is not planned they know each other and start a friendship, without knowing each other names, they share a connection. This connection will be the start of this case, when they start investigating the victim, they discover it was part of Sid's gang online, this will make them more motivated to discover the truth about the murder, but the killer's motive is quite twisted and the killer is ready to kill again to cover the truth!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This is the fifth book of Family Skeleton Mystery series, in the beginning is a little bit weird the skeleton situation, but after a few pages you get it and the story gets more interesting!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Ready for a curious case?</span></div>

Each puzzle has 1000 pieces, they are small, the size of a 5 cents coin, it may seem small, but they are the perfect size not to have a too large puzzle but enough to see all the details of the puzzle.</div>

<a href="http://www.colinthompson.com/">Colin Thompson</a> was born in London in 1942, Colin has lived in a variety of locations, including Mallorca, Great Bernera (in The Outer Hebrides), and for more than 25 years in a 300-year old farmhouse near Hadrian’s Wall. In 1995 he moved to Australia where he now lives with his wife, two dogs and three ducks in a beautiful valley called The Promised Land. He is best known as a writer and illustrator of children’s books, Colin’s first book was published in 1991, and he has had over 70 books published across the world since then. Colin’s illustrations are full of fun, intrigue and parody, and are packed with objects and events, designed to keep you interested as you search through the puzzle pieces!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've always loved Colin Thompson creations, but let me say that these puzzles are so colourful and full of secrets that will not only keep you entertained while you make the puzzle but after, searching for small things hidden inside the puzzle! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My little one really enjoyed searching for small things once I finished doing the puzzle, it was a great way to learn new words, learn how to count and keep entertained him for a while.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Emily lets a stranger step out in front of her, she never imagines that split second will change her life. But after Emily watches a car plough into the young mother – killing her instantly – she finds herself unable to move on. And then she makes a decision she can never take back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because Rose had everything Emily had ever dreamed of. A beautiful, loving family, a great job and a stunning home. And now Rose’s husband misses his wife, and their son needs a mother. Why couldn’t Emily fill that space?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But as Emily is about to discover, no one’s life is perfect … and not everything is as it seems.</div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been a surprising read, with an original starting, the book attracts you to a web full of lies and surprises that will leave you with a good taste after reading it. Ready?<!-- Global Site Tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This will be a twisted story, because you don't feel connected with the main character Emily, she is one of those people that think that deserve more without trying to change, that's why when an accident happens in front of her she will start becoming obsessed with the victim, Rose.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Rose seems to have the perfect life; but as I am sure you know, perfect doesn't exist, so Emily will try to refill the space that Rose has left in her life, no matter at which cost. During the process she will not only discover Rose's secrets and problems but starting to discover herself and her own faults. She needs a change in her life, but maybe this one will be too drastic...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been a slow paced story, but full of surprises and emotional situations, and making the reader to never know who to really trust. Sometimes reading a book makes you change the point of view of your life, your values and your relation with your loved ones, this had been a great read and a way to make us remember that we are the only ones that we have the power to change the course of our lives, only us.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kate has a six-year-old autistic son, Sam. She has started a new life to escape her controlling and abusive boyfriend Jake and thinks that the past is behind her and that she and Sam are safe. But after spotting Jake through a misted-up cafe window, Kate knows that he has found her.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kate confides in her neighbour Matt, a man running from his own past. He seems to offer a genuine chance at happiness for her and son Sam, but Jake is determined to get them back at all costs…</div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been a very emotive read, how a mother struggles to keep her autistic son happy and safe from her abusive ex-boyfriend. This is a bittersweet story, sometimes difficult to read but worth every word.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Having an autistic son it can't be easy, they can't show their emotions or connect with the people they have around, this doesn't mean they don't love them, they simply don't know how to connect. I think it has to be a very difficult illness for a parent, and the author, in this case had make an amazing job showing how Kate loves her son, she never complains about all the work she has being a single mother, she only wants Sam, her son, to be happy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The story will turn about Kate's life, not only her day to day life with an autistic son but the fear for her ex-boyfriend, but she will see a little light in the tunnel when she will meet Matt, it will be a difficult relation, Kate is not a trusty person, but step by step she will start to confide with him...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This is a human story, full of sentiments and interesting characters, I am sure that you will love it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A social media shaming. A killer with a message. A deadly combination.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the body of a man is left in the city centre set up as a realistic police crime scene, DI Hannah Robbins is forced to enter a world that can break a person, a case and a reputation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Social media platforms light up and Hannah is pitted against the raging online monster and a killer who has already lost everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can she catch the killer and put him behind bars or will she become part of his sadistic game?</div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been a slow paced mystery, involving social media pressure and a quite active killer that doesn't have any remorse to kill. Ready for the Twisted Web?</span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the beginning we will know who the killer is, but this is not the important part of the story. Instead, the relevant aspect is how our D.I. Hannah Robbins doesn't stop investigating till she discovers the truth and the motives of the killer. Because sometimes, is much more important discovering why someone crosses the line between "anger" to "killing" than discover the person who really did it, don't you think?</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Reading a mystery were the detectives feel real and human is always a good point for the reader, in this case we will see some "personal" problems with our detectives, but how they try to work with their problems and how they try to solve them makes the reader more involved in the story.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Be prepared for a nail bitting story, that will surprise you, not only for the case but how the author involves you on the story, a totally twisted web!</span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This is the 4th book of the D.I. Hannah Robbins series, I haven't read any of the previous books, but I loved this book, the characters are well explained and you don't feel lost with the connection of the detectives, so don't be afraid to start this series on this book, it is worth the read! ;)</span></div>

<b><u>Writing Male or Female…are they so different?</u></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">In the movie, As Good As It Gets, Jack Nicholson’s character is asked: “How do you write women so well?” His character responds, “I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.”</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">With the Lilian Dove series, I would answer: I take away the ability to demonstrate emotional honesty and the inability to accept failure.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Hold it! I think that is Lillian’s point of view as well.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Jacque Leveque, Detective of Major Crimes, is thought as a “player.” He and Lillian send out both sparks and explosives on their first meeting. Jacque asks Lillian to go out for a drink after barely meeting her.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Lillian, thinking he only wants one more notch on his belt, answers: “If you were the last man on earth and we were stuck on an island with no other land in sight, I’d put stones in my pocket and take a swim first.” Of course, she could have just said, “No thank you.” But Lillian, like Jacque, lacks emotional honesty in herself, so how can she offer it to someone else?</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Lillian is attracted to Jacque, yet she doesn’t trust herself with him. She wants a different life than she has known, and she thinks being with Jacque will bring on trouble. Jacque is also very attracted to Lillian, but he’s not one for making commitments. He feels that showing Lillian, or anyone for that matter, who the real Jacque Leveque is will make him vulnerable. Funny, by Lillian’s lack of honesty and her flair for being contrary, she ends up getting into trouble, both by jumping into catching a murderer or becoming involved with a man that she feels is safe. And Jacque continues to play a cat and mouse game, finding Lillian very capable in following clues, but wanting to keep her out of “his cases” because he might end up getting too close.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">It’s never as easy as a man-woman thing, is it?</span></i></b></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, today I want to share with you the amazing new creations of the Melty Misfits, 3rd Series! I think this is my favourite series, I had so many beautiful cards that I can not decide which one I like most.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are not simple cards, there are a lot of different cards to find...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>a/b versions: There are two cards featuring each character. The base set includes all the (a) and (b) versions for a total of 80 cards. </li>
<li>Variation cards: If you look really closely at your favorite trading cards, you’ll find little variations on different pieces of the same card.</li>
<li>Signed cards: We leave the backs blank on several sheets of stickers.</li>
<li>Sketch cards: Blank-back cards printed on extra thick stock. </li>
<li>Error cards: Colors are intentionally printed off-register, colors are left off, art from the back is printed on the fronts, and so on. The results are always unexpected, and always interesting. </li>
<li>Golden Ticket: These are super duper rare, but they’ll get you something really awesome! </li>
</ul>

But can Zoe still find love in the Alps?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dumped on Christmas Eve by her long-term boyfriend, it's been a rough year for Zoe Lumsley. But then she gets an invitation she can’t refuse: an all expenses paid skiing holiday with old university friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bad news: her ex, Grant, will be there with his new girlfriend. But so will her former flatmate Billy, the organiser, and in the meantime he’s done rather well for himself. As Christmas in the Alps approaches, it'll be great to see the old gang. Some more than others...</div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been a sweet Christmas read; full of friendship, snow and love, the perfect read for any warm hearty story!<!-- Global Site Tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This is the story of Zoe, it's been almost a year since her boyfriend broke her heart and left her for another woman, she thinks that she has got over him when she receives an interesting invitation to spend Christmas with her old friends, including her ex... So the main question will be, has she really got over him or love between them will flourish again? I have to say that her ex doesn't have my sympathy since the first page, he broke up with her because he was already seeing another woman... So I don't think in this case love is enough to repair the relation, trust is not something easy to repair, is something really difficult to ignore... so I would always say no to infidelity, but is Zoe who will have to decide!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The story not only turns around Zoe's love life, but all the characters she is sharing the amazing week in Austria, everything is planned and payed, but all of them had their own problems and secrets that we will discover as we enter to the story and start loving this nice group of friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been a quick read, it has not been difficult being transported to the beautiful hotel they stay in Austria and enjoy some warm wine, I wouldn't spend all day skying like Zoe, but it was a joyful read, heartwarming and sweet. It makes the reader believe that even in the worst cases, happiness is near you if you are ready for it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">T.A. (Trevor) Williams talks about his latest book, Dreaming of Christmas, and the thinking behind all the books in the Dreaming of… series.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">The first point I should make is that the Dreaming of… books (Venice, Florence, St-Tropez, Christmas and, early next year, Tuscany) don’t constitute the sort of series where the characters are the same or that there is a progression. These are all stand-alone books and the characters are unconnected. As such, the books can be read in any order. So why the repetitive titles?</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">All of the books in this “series” have a number of things in common. The reader can be confident of finding certain similarities between them. These are:</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><u>A happy ending</u>. There are so many horrible things going on in the world today and I believe it’s good to get away from them from time to time. My books are designed to provide a bolt-hole away from harsh reality, with its problems of a political, financial or person nature. The reader should be able to curl up with one of my books and lose herself (or himself) in a magical world where, whatever the hiccups along the way, they can be assured that it will all end happily for the main protagonists.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><u>Magical locations.</u> What I am trying to offer through my books is escapism. Very few of us (myself most definitely included) have the good fortune to be able to spend an all-expenses-paid holiday in a luxury hotel in the Austrian Alps. I seriously doubt whether many (or any) of my readers are the lucky owners of a multi-million pound villa overlooking the Mediterranean, or an exquisite seventeenth century mansion in Fiesole, looking out over the splendours of Florence below. That’s why I try to set my books in the sorts of places we all dream about, but rarely experience in the flesh.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><u>A smile.</u> My books are billed as Romantic Comedies and, as such, they are designed to make the reader smile or laugh from time to time. Zoë in Dreaming of Christmas, for example, falls head-first into a pile of snow, she spills wine on herself and the dog, and she quite literally kicks the bucket – in this case containing a wet mop. I would like my readers to reach the end of any of my books with a smile on their faces. There are two reasons for this. First, so as to provide welcome relief from worries as mentioned above, but also so that, having enjoyed this book, they immediately download some of the others. They’re happy, I’m happy - everybody wins. </span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><u>A big black dog</u>. Those of you familiar with my work will know I always like to include a black Labrador in my books. Apart from being my homage to dear old Merlin, the finest dog who ever lived, this is because dogs are fun. They provide great companionship and they make people laugh when they get in the way, steal food or just lie under the table and fart.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><u>Tough heroines.</u> Well, not tough in the muscular sense, but my girls aren’t shrinking violets. They each have a good brain and they aren’t afraid to use it. I present them with a load of challenges, but they don’t just fall apart and sit in a corner sobbing. They pull themselves together and get on with it. Hopefully the reader will associate with this sort of behaviour. We all have our problems, but giving up isn’t the answer.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">So, in conclusion, you can be sure of finding all of the above in my books, but the very different storylines mean that each retains its own distinct identity. I hope you enjoy my work.</span></i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Firstly, my name isn't T A. It's Trevor. I write under the androgynous name T A Williams because 65% of books are read by women. In my first book, "Dirty Minds" one of the (female) characters suggests the imbalance is due to the fact that men spend too much time getting drunk and watching football. I couldn't possibly comment. Ask my wife...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've written all sorts: thrillers, historical novels, short stories and now I'm enjoying myself hugely writing humour and romance. Romantic comedies are what we all need from time to time. Life isn’t always very fair. It isn’t always a lot of fun, but when it is, we need to embrace it. If my books can put a smile on your face and maybe give your heartstrings a tug, then I know I’ve done my job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I‘ve lived all over Europe, but now I live in a little village in sleepy Devon, tucked away in south west England. I love the place. That’s why you’ll find leafy lanes and thatched cottages in most of my books. Oh, yes, and a black Labrador. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been writing since I was 14 and that is half a century ago. However, underneath this bald, wrinkly exterior, there beats the heart of a youngster. My wife is convinced I will never grow up. I hope she's right.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A killer in total control. A detective on the edge. A mystery that HAS to be solved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DI Thomas Ridpath was on the up in the Manchester CID: a promising young detective whose first case involved capturing a notorious serial killer. But ten years later he’s recovering from a serious illness and on the brink of being forced out of the police. Then people start dying: tortured, murdered, in an uncanny echo of Ridpath’s first case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the investigation intensifies, old bodies go missing, records can’t be found and the murder count grows. Caught in a turf war between the police and the coroner’s office, digging up skeletons some would rather forget, Ridpath is caught in a race against time: a race to save his career, his marriage… And lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When a detective goes missing everything is on the line. Can Ridpath close the case and save his colleague?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been a compelling read; full of surprises, twists and real characters, you only need to discover Where The Truth Lies...<!-- Global Site Tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async="" src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_TRACKING_ID"></script>

gtag('config', 'GA_TRACKING_ID');
</script></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This is a detective procedural book, but you don't feel like a simple observer, the characters felt so real that you feel totally involved in this horrifying case. Because even if DI Thomas Ridpath has some health problems and he has been transfer to the coroner's department, he can not stay away from a good mystery!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The story begins when an old case where DI Thomas Ridpath made the arrest. It seems that maybe the killer had been free all this time and an innocent man has been held in prison for more than 10 years... But, how was it possible that the investigation was so wrong and didn't discover that there were irregularities on the case? Of course you'll have to read the book if you want to know the truth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The story is told between the "killer" and how follows all the steps for the correct killing, and our detective Thomas Ridpath, who after seeing his life passing away in front of his eyes, will take us to a trip of all his memorable memories of his life, making the reader more invested in the character and feeling all his suffering and troubles on our own skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The case is quite dark and troubling, starting from an empty coffin and ending in a body's farm... really be prepared for a twisted case, but an amazing read.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I would like to say I really liked this book, I hope this will not be the last case we read of DI Thomas Ridpath, I can't wait to read a new case!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Martin has spent most of his adult life writing in one form or another. As a University researcher in history, he wrote pages of notes on reams of obscure topics. As a social worker with Vietnamese refugees, he wrote memoranda. And, as the creative director of an advertising agency, he has written print and press ads, tv commercials, short films and innumerable backs of cornflake packets and hotel websites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has spent 25 years of his life working outside the North of England. In London, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok and Shanghai, winning awards from Cannes, One Show, D&AD, New York and London Festivals, and the United Nations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst working in Shanghai, he loved walking through the old quarter of that amazing city, developing the idea behind a series of crime novels featuring Inspector Pyotr Danilov, set in 1920s and 30s.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When he's not writing, he splits his time between the UK and Asia, taking pleasure in playing with his daughter, practicing downhill ironing, single-handedly solving the problem of the French wine lake and wishing he were George Clooney.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Married couple Jack and Ali Gardiner move to a self-sufficient commune in the English Fens, desperate for fresh start. The local village is known for the witches who once resided there and Rosalind House, where the commune has been established, is a former psychiatric home, with a disturbing history.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Jack and Ali arrive, a chain of unexpected and unexplained events is set off, and it becomes clear that they are not all that they seem. As the residents become twitchy, and the villagers suspicious, events from the past come back to haunt them, and someone is seeking retribution...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At once an unnerving locked-room mystery, a chilling thriller and a dark and superbly wrought ghost story, The Lingering is an exceptionally plotted, terrifying and tantalisingly twisted novel by one of the most exciting authors in the genre.</div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I am not used to horror books, I normally prefer mystery/murder/crime; but when you have the opportunity to read one of the new Orenda Books' new acquisition, you can't doubt that it will be a great book!</span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The Lingering is a slow paced story, told in first person by the main characters: Ali, Angela and Smeaton. We will read the journal of Dr Henry Baldock from 1955. Ali and his husband are escaping from their past, so they decided to leave everything behind and move to a small commune at the Rosalind House; they didn't know what it was waiting for them there, but they hoped it would be much better that what they were hiding from...</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This story has left me wanted to know more, not only of the characters but the story of the building and its past, the story is so addictive, intense and emotional that when you arrive at the end it feels like it could not have ended yet, it has to be more!</span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">While we enter to the community routine, we will discover Ali and Jack past, but at the same time we will be aware of the past of the house they are living, and sometimes houses can talk, even if you will not like what you'll learn...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I don't want to make any spoilers of the story; sometimes is better entering a book without knowing what it will be inside, the surprise is much bigger! I will simply say that this is a worth reading book; atmospheric, dark, twisted and gripping... possibly it will be on your nightmares for your next couple of days, but when a book is good, it has to be read.</span></div>

I am sure you are well aware that these days you can find anything transformed into beautiful Advent Calendars for Christmas, it seems that no matter what product you like, it has their own calendar to enjoy the Christmas countdown. Let me say that I am a big fan of Advent Calendars, every year I search for the most original one to ask as a Christmas present, and I don't start opening the windows till January! I have to admit I really enjoy opening the 24 windows and discover what surprises hide behind each door. So having a little son made me open my horizons and search for different calendars instead of the chocolate ones we are all used to, I don't like much chocolate and let me say that I don't want my little one to get used to eat every day a chocolate, at least not for now... So, when I saw that <a href="https://disney.co.uk/">Disney</a> had created a storybook calendar, I couldn't resist to make an extensive search to discover what it had inside and if it was worth buying it, of course. So I had a glad surprise when I saw that it was available to purchase from this Monday on Aldi (in Ireland and UK on the same day), is always nice not to have to pay the shipment fees and taking a look before buying it.</div>

This big "book" contains 24 short versions of some of the well known Disney stories, the books come "wrapped" like a present inside each pocket day. Every story book has the illustrations we have seen a lot of times of the books and of course is not the full version of the story, but with enough pages to make your little ones sit for a while when you are reading them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have only read the first story, DUMBO, and haven't looked which other stories can be found inside the calendar, I think this is the exciting part of having an advent calendar, you don't know what will be inside tomorrow's window!</div>

I worked in IT for 30 years… but I’m much better now.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My books are multi-stranded storylines involving larger-than-life characters, whose plans and incompetence inevitably exceed their wits. Each involves an off-beat loner called Cullen who lives off the grid in the Scottish Borders and gets accidentally drawn into someone’s schemes, only for his own (very personal) sense of right and wrong to be offended. That’s generally when things start to go wronger.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My first book, Where Seagulls Dare, involves the machinations of a Russian oligarch to take over the Scottish salmon-farming industry, an ardent eco-protestor with his own agenda, and a blonde bombshell from Hollywood looking to recharge her career via a stint in Glasgow panto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second, A Fistful of Collars, brings together the Church of Scotland, the fashion industry, a textile mill in the Scottish Borders, a professional footballer with addiction issues, and an IT worker who fancies a future as a famous hitman.</div>

Lemony Snicket meets His Dark Materials in this unforgettable YA crossover novel.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oskar is the ultimate outsider. He's been living on the Berlin streets since he was 13. To perk himself up, he paints the misery of mankind and has become the enfant terrible of the Berlin art scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But one day during a not-so-routine eye test he tries on a pair of glasses which blow his bleak world view to bits and give him a glimpse of heaven. Shortly after, to Oskar's fury, he begins to see the beauty of the world around him, to feel a connection to others and, most frightening of all, to fall in love. Will it be an easy ride? Hell no.</div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been an artistic tale, showing us how the world could change totally with a different perspective, that's what our main character Oskar will discover. He is an artist, and as I am sure you already know they are quite eccentric, he is too direct and prefer not to have a personal contact with other people; everything will change when he will try a new set of glasses, his view of the world will change completely; making him to realise that life can be better if you want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">While I was reading this book it felt like a tale, where the past and the present mixed up in this curious story, Oskar, is not the nicest character, but you can understand his manners and rude actions. But let me say that his change puts some light on this story, Oskar needs some happiness even if it's only temporary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">If you are searching for an original and sweet read this is for you, don't expect the typical story, because this is not it, but it will leave you a smile on your face, so what more do you need?</span></div>

A snooper, a marriage doctor, a killer of happy-ever-afters. She runs her own private detective agency specialising in catching out those who cheat. And she's very good at it. Until Helene walks through her door.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Helene is a husband catcher. A beautiful wife, a doting stepmother, a dazzling presence at parties. She counts herself lucky to have married one of the most eligible men in town - Gabe Moreau. Until she sees something that threatens her little family of three.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alice is a perfect daughter. Apple of her father's eye, a kind stepchild to Helene, a tragic daughter of a dead mother. She lives a sheltered but happy life. Until she finds a handwritten note on her father's desk: 'You owe me. I'm not going away.'</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All three women suspect Gabe Moreau of keeping secrets and telling lies. But not one of them suspects that the truth could result in murder . . .</div>

<b><u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">My Thoughts</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">"Before I find you, I make the clients pay the big bucks"</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been a witty read, three women that will see their lives change because of a man; the wife, the detective and the daughter... their lives will change forever, because she will find the truth, don't doubt it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This had been an addictive and twisted read, I had finished it within 3 hours, this is how invested I was to the story, really I couldn't put it down. Because not only the three main characters are interesting and full of secrets, even with all of their faults they will get under your skin, and you will need to know more, discover the truth even if you will risk your life on the process.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Maggie is a good detective, she has her own secrets but loves her work, you could say that she doesn't have feelings, but it is not true, she likes to make her job, no matter what consequences their findings could have on your life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Helene, she suspects that her husband could have an affair, but she doesn't have any proof and that's why she will hire Maggie. She needs to know the truth, she has invested too much in her marriage to loose everything she has for an affair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Alice, the proud daughter that venerates her father, she lost her mother when she was a toddler and she can not believe that her father could keep a secret from her and destroy all her life again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I was delighted with the small pearls that Helene and Maggie will share with us during the story, with their experience in life and love, but sometimes it feels like their lives could had been happier or less sad. But let's face it, they both are great women ready to fight for what's more important in their life, and maybe that's the most significant part of the book, no matter which reason do you fight for, you have to fight for what's important for you, but try not to kill anyone in the process!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">While some parts of the story were not totally surprising, after reading so many books, there are some things that you can get with the clues given during the story, but don't be fooled by this, the ending is twisted and original, you will be surprised, I can assure you.</span></div>
