Its my spot on the book tour today for this great read.
Detangling the Plot: Aubrey does love to be beside the seaside. All those rock pools to muck about in, the caves to explore, endless food opportunities from the beach huts. Life is good. And it’s even better now that his best mate Vincent has joined the Goodman household.
But the sun slips behind a cloud when a body is found near Lilac Tree Lodge, the care home for the elderly in which Molly Goodman works. Suddenly it doesn’t all seem quite so jolly…
Bobs and Books honest review:
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this, but was intrigued. If you are a cat lover you are guaranteed to love this. Even if not, the concept is unique so give it a go. I kept forgetting on occasion that the cats were cats as they felt so human getting their thoughts and conversations. Its only when one jumps on a window ledge I remembered again and laughed at myself.
The murder mystery is good after an unexpected body is found. It felt quite a close knit community so I wondered if it might be easy to piece together, but this has some wonderful twists and turns that keep you guessing.
Great angle, interesting location, captivating whodunnit.
About the author:
I was born in London and spent my teenage years in Hertfordshire where I spent large amounts of time reading novels, watching daytime television and avoiding school. Failing to gain any qualifications in science whatsoever, the dream of being a forensic scientist collided with reality when a careers teacher suggested that I might like to work in a shop. I don’t think she meant Harrods. Later studying law, I decided to teach rather than go into practice and have spent many years teaching mainly criminal law and criminology to young people and adults.
I enjoy reading crime novels, doing crosswords, and drinking wine. Not necessarily in that order.
