The Seeds of Murder By Dawn Treacher

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @hyggebooktours @weareprovoco @dsquiffy #hyggebooktours for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the colour of the front cover it has a soft and calm feel to it . The Seeds of Murder is a crime/ thriller genre. The story is about Cedric who is a vicar and his wife goes missing . People think she's gone missing because she has enough being a vicar wife. Cedric goes to find out what really happened to his wife. I found the first chapter a bit slow at first, but when I got into it, I was hooked and could not put it down. Entertaing read that will engross you to the end. I liked Cedric a lot and I did feel sorry for him because he couldn't understand why his wife would leave him, so he was thinking all sorts of things . I loved how his daughter got him in to gardening again, which helps him to write a detective novel. The story is at good pace and has a great plot. 4 stars. Blurb Cedric Malleson's wife, Carolina, is missing. Everyone believes she simply left Cedric because she didn't want to be a vicar's wife any longer. Now retired from the clergy, and with time on his hands, Cedric's mind begins to wonder why. Why did Carolina leave? Did she leave because she wanted to, or because she had to? His thoughts prompt him to begin writing a detective novel, a cosy, murder mystery. However, his daughter, Scarlett encourages him to take up gardening, a task Carolina used to do when they were together. Little does Cedric realise that whilst he is writing his detective novel and doing the garden, he could be nurturing the seeds of murder. Bio Dawn Treacher joined Provoco in 2023, already enjoying success as an author and illustrator of children's novels. The Seeds of Murder is her debut, cosy murder mystery novel and more are planned for the future!

The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams is for young adults between 9-13 years, which will keep them entertained till the end. The story is dark and well-written.

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

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f

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.
