A page turning novel to fall into and emerge with a happy glow. I don’t generally read this genre but made a lovely change. Nice one!

Not your run of the mill novel. I question what is going on and it’ll keep you guessing after the book is finished. Very well written. The obsessive mismatched newlywed couple. A dreamy novel. I like the wind swept setting and the cosy cottage.

I’m busy telling everyone to get on and read this novel. It has a wonderful voice in Eleanor. Then there is a bit of mystery about it. It touches the heart strings and made me laugh too. All around excellent debut novel

This novel trots along very nicely. A young man from migrant family reinvents himself, he’s an insurance loss adjuster and his life takes a turn when he arrives to find the client he is investigating hanged. It reminds me a bit of Philip Marlowe character. I’m recommending this one. Oh and don’t think this is a dark novel it certainly has it’s humorous moments.
