Looking Good Dead by Peter James book review

Murder,Kidnap and the Scarab Beetle

This is the second book in the Detective Roy Grace Book Series.This book centres around Tom and Kelly Bryce,and when Tom innocently finds a cd on the train and takes it hope to view its contents it triggers a whole train of events.

I really felt drawn to the main detective Roy Grace,as there is a sub plot running through the books about his life.I got the impression he really cares about his colleague,and the cases he investigates.

The story has a really great twist towards the end of the book,with I didn’t see coming,and I found the book moved a really fast pace.

I found the main theme of the crime interesting although a little disturbing.

I would definitely recommend this book to fans of crime fiction,and I am definitely going to read other books in series.

Book Worm rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fate,Love and Magazines!!

Fate,Love and Magazines!! Love by Design by Effie Kammenou Love by Design is book 2 in the Meraki Series.Although this book is in a series it can be read as a standalone novel. The book focuses on Mia Andarakis ,who has recently been promoted to work on a new magazine called Opul,and her relationship with magazine editor Nicholas Aristedis. My favourite characters were Mia and Nicholas,the characters were very well rounded and I really felt both characters as they had both gone through trauma in their lives. I loved the twist in the middle of the book which connected the lives of Mia and Nicholas,as well as the flashback chapters concerning what had made them the people they had become. I think the scenes written around Nicholas’s grief were well written,and grief can totally destroy you and I really felt for Nicholas. The book was a brilliant piece of romantic escapism,yet tackled some really difficult issues with some harrowing scenes. There wasn’t one thing I disliked about th...

A New Dawn Over Mulberry Lane is Book 8 in the Mulberry Lane Series,this book can be read as a standalone novel.This story focuses on Dr Shirley,Maggie,Freddie,Fay and Jon,Peggy and Maureen’s Children and grandchildren. My favourite character are Maggie and Freddie,they both seem to know what they want from life and want to work hard to get it.All the characters are very believable and like the fact the author has continued the story of Mulberry Lane now using the younger characters.The only character I took a dislike to was Jon,I thought he was quite devious even though he was only a child My favourite storyline in the book was involving Dr Shirley her career,I’m looking forward to reading further books to see her story continue All the characters featured prominently in the book with their own storylines entwined together. I didn’t find anything about this book disagreeable,both the sto...

Rebellion,Corruption and the Coalies!!

The Stranded -By Sarah Daniels Rebellion,Corruption and the Coalies!! The Stranded by Sarah Daniels is a standalone futuristic novel set in 2094.The story set aboard the Arcadia ship,where passengers have been stranded for years due to fears of a deadly virus. My favourite character are Esther and May Crossland,they are both strong female’s who stand up for what they believe in. All the characters felt real and you have real empathy for the passengers on the ship. My favourite scene is when Esther decides to help the rebellion and finally everyone realises she is more like her sister May then they realised. The book had me gripped from the beginning and I was rooting for the rebellion to succeed . Despite not being a genre I usually read,I absolutely loved this book.it was fast paced and kept my interest the whole way through.A real page turner This book is listed as a young adult but is suitable for the general adult market too and would appeal to anyone who likes futuristic boo...
