I didn’t expect to fall head over heels for 'Atmosphere' because - astronauts, space, stars, astronomy, but I did! Taylor Jenkins Reid is such a gifted writer and master at creating compelling, believable characters. I was completely drawn into this incredibly space (love) story.

I thoroughly enjoyed A Killer Among Friends, written by Andrea Barton, and the second novel in the captivating Jade Riley Mysteries series. Whilst it can be read as a stand-alone, I was thrilled to continue with Jade’s story following The Godfather Of Dance. Excellent writing and a compelling and tense mystery, with many conceivable twists. The characters are convincing and well-drawn, and Jade in particular, is complex and feisty, battling her own demons and insecurities. I’d definitely want her on my side if I was in trouble. Highly recommend if you enjoy rollicking whodunnits.

I devoured Chasing Tropical Ice in a couple of sittings. Elizabeth Worley has skilfully woven a gripping thriller that combines crime, adventure, diamonds, dogs, and feminist empowerment. I loved the two leads, Augusta (Gus), a journalist, whose voice is written in first person, and her lover, Kaye (written in third person), a retired Air Force pilot. I especially enjoyed the vivid imagery and scene setting, as well as all the local references and titbits about expats living in Panama. An enthralling page-turner with a cracking ending.
