THE CLOSE by JANE CASEY

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @randomTTours and @JaneCaseyAuthor for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Close is a crime thriller and has great tension running through the book. The stroy gripps you and I enjoyed the characters Maeve and Josh who are on a case and go under cover living as a couple to help with there investagtion. This is the first book i have read by Jane Casey and i will read more in the future. The Close is part if a seris but you can read alone which is what i did and i enjoyed reading this book its great page turner. Jane Casey writting style is easy to get into straight away and will go and read the other books in the seris. Great read 4 stars. Blurb At first glance, Jellicoe Close seems to be a perfect suburban street – well-kept houses with pristine lawns, neighbours chatting over garden fences, children playing together. But there are dark secrets behind the neat front doors, hidden dangers that include a ruthless criminal who will stop at nothing. It’s up to DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent to uncover the truth. Posing as a couple, they move into the Close, blurring the lines between professional and personal as never before. And while Maeve and Josh try to gather the evidence they need, they have no idea of the danger they face – because someone in Jellicoe Close has murder on their mind. Author Jane Casey has written twelve crime novels for adults and three for teenagers. Married to a criminal barrister, she’s got the inside track on some of the country’s most dangerous offenders, giving her writing an unsettlingly realistic feel. This authenticity has made her novels international bestsellers and critical successes. They have been nominated for several awards and in 2015 Jane won both the Mary Higgins Clark Award and Irish Crime Novel of the Year for The Stranger You Know and After the Fire, respectively. In 2019, Cruel Acts was chosen as Irish Crime Novel of the Year at the Irish Book Awards. It was a Sunday Times bestseller. Born in Dublin, Jane now lives in southwest London with her family.

Thank you @strangelymagic and @neemtreepress for letting me review this book. War of the wind is 220 pages snd is you g adukt fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

Thank you @Dreamheadz . @KellyALacey and @lovebookstours for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Fish King and the Two Wise Ghosts is a children's book that is 58 pages long. This is a cute children's book about the Fish King who feels lonely and wants to find a family he eventually finds Lisa but he has to introduce them to the Ghosts. The illustrations are good and children will like them and they work well with the writing. There is good rhyming throughout the book which children will like.

Blurb In a strange little village called Witchetty Hollow, eleven-year-old Florizel is the first to run into the curious visitors who've come to open a brand new Daydream Delicatessen and sack-baby factory. At first, it seems the daydream confection and cheap sack children are the best things that could have happened to the poor folk of the Hollow - after all, who has the money to rent their child from Storkhouse Services these days? But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening ...
