I do get a bit annoyed with these books that are split into three parts but are really one book, however this one did seem on Kindle to be proper book-length and the story did have an arc, most of which ended with the end of the book, so it did feel like one book in a series rather than a bit of a book.Īshley has arrived in the seaside village of Berecombe because she can stay in the independent flat of the house her cousin Noah is renting and have some independence while she continues to recover from a serious road accident.

I’m not sure I can say much else without revealing the plot, but I did enjoy reading this with Matthew. Light relief comes from Ron’s remarkable grandson, and everything wraps up satisfactorily. There were some really well-done moments, I thought, especially towards the end with two scenes with real twists (at a flat and an office, I’ll say) and I also liked the poignancy of Ibrahim’s situation. Although they were a bit two-dimensional, I liked the small-town drug baron a lot, and we learn more about Elizabeth’s past when someone comes back from it. The plot is fun and does have side-plots, but is less confusing than in the first book, with fewer characters and nothing I didn’t understand.

Then it got caught up with Christmas and some times when it was too dark and cold for him to do his normal morning walks, so we didn’t make rapid progress! But here we are, with two light reads done and one ticked off the NetGalley list for February. I won the Richard Osman months ago but then Matthew wanted to read the books with me so we had to get hold of and get through “ The Thursday Murder Club” first and then have a pause while he read some other ebooks.
Two light reads from NetGalley, one published ages ago and one out this month.
