SweetiiPie85 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 7th Heaven - (Synopsis from Waterstones) Two cases have pushed Detective Lindsay Boxer to the limit. A string of fatal arson attacks have broken out in San Fransisco. The targets have one thing in common: they are all rich, successful, married couples. With four couples dead, Lindsay is determined to put a stop to the killings and trace the murderer. Juggling cases, Lindsay has plenty on her mind. Michael Campion was a people's hero, a popular governor's son who publicly battled against a rare and debilatating heart illness. When he vanished without a trace one evening, his disappearance and the search to find him, dead or alive, hit the headlines daily.But the trail went cold very quickly. Now with a devastating new lead, Lindsay picks up the trail once more. But what is the link between the Campion case and the arson attacks? With the help of her friends and fellow Women's Murder Club members - Yuki, an attorney feeling the strain of a high profile court case; Claire, a medical examiner trying to balance her career and her pregnancy and Cindy, the reporter for a San Fransisco newspaper - Lindsay must race to find the suspects and stop the cold-blooded killers, and fast. My Thoughts This was another brilliant read from the Woman's Murder Club Series. It was full of danger and had me gripped from the very start. The ending had a very surprising twist which I was not expecting. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetiiPie85 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Greyfriars Bobby by Eleanor Atkinson This is the famous true story of a devoted dog. Bobby, an active Skye Terrier, adores his master Auld Jock, and when the old man dies, Bobby refuses to leave his grave in Greyfriar's Churchyard in Edinburgh. By day, he plays with the local orphans and eats at a nearby tavern, but, in spite of anything even the Lord Provost himself can do, every night for fourteen years Bobby returns faithfully to sleep by his master. My Thoughts I decided to read this book after we returned from our weekend in Edinburgh. We visited the Greyfriars Bobby's pub and also Bobby's grave. The book mentioned all the places we had visited which was great. It is a lovely story which I really enjoyed reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
