This is the sixth Michelle Griep novel I’ve pick This is the sixth Michelle Griep novel I’ve picked up and the only one I haven’t loved. I think it was a little too light on the mystery for me. The writing is elegant and, if you enjoy Victorian London, the scene is well set. I didn’t connect with the young Constable or the sassy Kit but I can see a younger audience enjoying both...read more by clicking on the link in my profile.

“Prayer in the Night”, by @tishharrisonwarren, “Prayer in the Night”, by @tishharrisonwarren, begins as Tish reflects back on a dark period in her life when she draws the Anglican Book of Common Prayer’s Compline close.

In the brokenness of 2020, I picked up “From Bur In the brokenness of 2020, I picked up “From Burned out to Beloved” by an author unknown to me, Bethany Dearborn Hiser. Within the first few chapters, she captured my heart and it felt like she’d been watching parts of my life, I related so well to her story. She tells it better than I could, so I won’t try and summarise it, but in essence, her work as a social worker, jail chaplain, and justice advocate exposed her to a lot of vicarious trauma...read more by clicking the link in my profile.

Roses are my favourite flower and I’ve thoroughl Roses are my favourite flower and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning more about them over the last four years when we moved to our new home. It was with this enthusiasm that I started “Rosa” by Peter E. Kukielski and his coauthor, Charles Phillips. There are stunning photos and illustrations of roses and certainly a lot of facts about them too. However, I found the book to be too detailed on what felt like rabbit holes...[read more by clicking the link in my profile]

Having read bestselling author Kelly Irvin before, Having read bestselling author Kelly Irvin before, I was expecting from “Her Every Move” to be full of suspense novel. What I didn’t anticipate was the brutality of the start of the story. It opens with a bombing and in the first quarter of the book, the story focuses on the immediate aftermath. Perhaps I am fragile from all that occurs in the world but the description of the pain endured by the lead character was all too real for me...[read more by clicking the link in my profile]

Active Defense, by @lynetteeason , is the third in Active Defense, by @lynetteeason , is the third in the Danger Never Sleeps series but, whilst I loved the previous two, it works as a standalone novel too. Our leading lady is a military doctor home after a traumatic incident. Quickly she realises she’s attracted a stalker and, to protect her friends, she disappears to a “safe” location. Our leading man and friend to Heather, Travis, uses his resources in private security as well as his friendships with law enforcement to find and protect Heather...read more by clicking the link in my profile.
