Another great book from Richard Osman, read all 5 of the Thursday murder club. Elizabeth, Joyce,Ron and Ibrahim now fill part of the family. In the 5 books we all got to love them in different ways. Elizabeth is sad after losing her husband,Ron still trying to be the hard man but is a big softie, Joyce is enjoying having her married daughter and son in law around. Joanne and Paul also help with the story,

This is quite a slow book for an Agatha Christie. I didn't enjoy it as much as her others I have read.
A murder in a small crescent, it had a good lead character (a specialist/spy? man) Colin and police detective were but interesting guys.

It's a funny little book, about a little boy visiting other planets. Meeting a different person on each one a king,a drunk,a gas lighter and a business man.
On earth a snake in Africa .

I enjoyed this book in the 2nd in series I have read ,following on from legends and lattes.
Fern is the main character in this story, a rattkin bookseller.
Go off on an unplanned adventure with an Elf sword master.
Very good tell.
Lots of other being, gnomes, dwarfs another rattkin guy. fights, bridge being damaged, . Snow castle to an god creature and lots more. Very good story.

This book is not as good as it previous ones, a little slow and Stevie and David got on nerves.
I had great hopes based in my home country.
Stevie acted very rashly a few times, David was a sod. I had great hopes but it wasn't as good.A country mystery set in a country estate.
Not Agatha Christie but okay.

A good book, with lots of short story by Margaret, so are a little odd. But enjoyed all of them in different ways. A lot are Nell and Tig, which I think as based on Margaret and her dead Husband (Graham) They are light reading, so good if you only got 1/2 to read, and most are not to long.

I finish this book, I am very disappointed with this tale. I had great difficulty getting to the end of this book. Very slow, though a interesting story but got lost some where about 50 pages in and dragged on for 100 pages +. Nobody is very loveable,not Tea or brother, or most of the main characters.
I finish but I told me 6 weeks, normally can read a book of just under 400 pages in 1/2 that time.

A nice little book, story of an Ogre who runs a coffee shop. With lots of different other beings , helping out and all being part of the family.
I think written for young adult, but I enjoyed the tell

I generally enjoyed this book. was a little bleak overall. The story was interesting, but odd . An MA art course at local University. But a lot of things going on in the background.
Well worth reading.

Lovely young adult book. read in a few days. Young girl ends up meeting a polar bear on a small island called Bear island. Her story how she became friends with this bear and copes with living on this island. Her dad was widowed a few years before and is not coping very well, works too much and not a good parent.

I enjoyed this book which I borrowed from the library, nearly 500 pages. But easy to read, well written.
History mixed up with modern widow, living on her in laws estate in Yorkshire.
I enjoyed it and read in about 10days.

Not well written book, I have to write a list of the main characters and their families Lots of character in book,, Thelma,Liz ,Pat.
There is a death, stolen money, daughter who seems to care more for her Mum money, then her Mum. i enjoy it once I got passed the first 50 pages which are not well written.

This book is set in Knowle West, not really a great part of the city in the past. Can still have it grotty parts, but reading this book make me remember something that I had forgotten about this part of Bristol. Filwood swimming pool. Merrywood school being the enemy's of Hengrove School, when I was their.
It's sad that way an area of your city can make a great difference to your life.Good book, a lot of

Some good stories, some really bad

This book starts with a murder of Mercy McAlpine, Will and Sarah on their honeymoon end up investigating the murder.
Well written, but a little long. A very odd family McAlpine's are.
I enjoyed this book, one of her best.

Another fun romance from Jill Mansell, always a good read. Lots of love in this one.

Want can you say Jill's books are all great stories,well explained characters. Love, what more can you want. This one has Edgar a old man living alone in Foxwell, he meets Lou in the local supermarket carpark, where he had a full. His shopping ends up on the floor and his glasses loose a lens.Lou ends up driving him home and from there the story takes off. Lots of side stories all joined to make a lovely read.

I don't enjoy this book, as much as her other ones.
Story was confusing, but as usual lots of interesting body part mentioned.
Was not my favourite story, but well written as normal. Lots of murder, dead bodies and Temp helping out.

Good book set in 1969, when England was changing
Agatha Christie says about the youth of today, damaging car tires and not behaving very well.
This is odd in one of her books, Poirot was his normal self, odd but very good at sorting the murders in this book

This is the 6th and final book in the series. Tilly,Milo,Oskar and Alessia have to fight Alessia father Geronimo Della Porta, and another Wizard.
Merlin and Rosa all have a part in the story.
I enjoyed this books.
