None Of This Is True

Lisa Jewell

Our review: A podcaster meets a woman and vibes of Single White Female begin - but what really is the truth?

The Dark Tide

Simon McCleave

Mystery Novel

Series 1/5

Our review: Set in Wales this mystery features DCI Laura Hart an ex hostage negotiator.

I love a mystery with a bit of nail-biting action and adventure and if you do too then The Dark Tide won’t disappoint.

Gutsy main character that busy mums can relate to.
