Before Again by Claire S Duffy

Image
Before again is out now go and read it @fikabooksclaire @lovebookstours Blurb Game of Thrones meets Still Game. With hot vikings. What if the killer stalking you is from a thousand years ago? They say you can never go home again, and Kirsty had no intention of it. Glasgow was her past, filled with bad memories, a childhood curse and the small matter of a great-grandmother who put a contract out on her life. But she can’t ignore the text. Her gran raised her, and was the only person ever to love her. Kirsty owes it to her to show up. Surely her great-gran will behave at her own daughter’s funeral. Kirsty will fly in, show her face, immediately skedaddle and never again lay eyes on horizontal rain as long as she lives. She definitely won’t accidentally save a viking the night before he’s due to invade Govan in 871, drawing her own great-grandfather and an ancient serial killer into the present. Who on earth would be that daft? The twisty, laugh out loud funny start to a seductiv

Thank you @rararesources and @Melvyn Small letting me part of this is tour and reviewing this book. The accidental Detective is a thriller and 299 pages long. This is great read and the writing style was easy to get into. I felt like the accidental detectives took me away from my world into there world which is good. Tbe characters where great but my faviourte was John Watson. Great writing style and plot and did make me smile in places. Thete is six different dtories with the same two characters but all enjoyable. They all kept ne hooked and entertained 5 stars. Blurb Thrown together by the British legal system, Holmes and his court appointed psychologist, Dr John Watson, seem an unlikely pairing... but sometimes the stars align. Our two heroes are soon drawn into a series of riotous adventures that both bewilder and beguile. Holmes’ mastery of data, deduction and logic combines with his gin-dry wit and a casual contempt for life-threatening danger to ensure there is never a d

I never been adopted but this must be so hard haveing adoptive family but then wanted to find your real parents but than dont want to upset ypur adoptive parents. It must be real dilama. I found this a intresting read. A child in the middle is 358 long and it is bio of Catherine Chanter life about being adoptive. This is moving and fascinating read and open my eyes about adoption due to be not really knowing alot about this area. I felt lots of dirrernt emotions for Cathrine and i thought it is very insightful read 4 stars. Blurb ‘Need. Crave. Fear. Lovely monosyllabic verbs which perch like hungry gulls on top of the iceberg floating in a cold sea.’ This is no ordinary book about adoption.
