    Did you enjoy the book? It's on my list of books that I'm thinking about reading but haven't quite decided yet :)

    I got it as an early Christmas present and it's a nice little read.

    I'm reading The Help which I put on my Kindle about 2 years ago and didn't bother reading. Not read much but is is looking like a great read.

    I was disappointed that the new CJ Sansom book was not to be a Matthew Shardlake mystery,but having started DOMINION I can't put it down Set in an imaginary Britain,it's 1952,and Britain has done a deal with Nazi Germany,but the Resistance is gaining power.SUPERB !!

    Started to read a broken family by Kitty Neale but gave up about half way through,i was bored with the characters and just not enjoying the story,i have started to read Saving Grace which is so funny,cant remember who it,s by but it is set in Ireland.

    Her other books are great too... I especially liked: Becoming Scarlett. :)

    William Hartmann's "A Traveler's Guide to Mars" which is about the land forms and geology of the planet Mars and a comparison with similar situations and places on Earth. So far, it's tuning out to be an excellent and informative read.

    I really liked that one, and I liked the second in the series even more "Dead Scared" Can definitely recommend that one. :)

    My heart was in my mouth the whole way through! It was excellent apart from....
    I didn't understand why no one recognised Lacey as Victoria when she and Joesbury visited Cardiff :confused:

    Next for me: Meet Me At The Cupcake Café by Jenny Colgan.

    I've not started it yet. Just finishing off The Help and that was next on my list, I bought 4 books the other day for 80p which was fab but did wonder about how good they would be.

    Working my way through the Lord Peter Wimsey books by Dorothy L Sayers. Currently on book 10 out of 11 then will start the 3 books written by Jill Paton Walsh, one of which was completed from an unfinished manuscript.

    The Secret of Crickley Hall, mentioned above, is on my reading list for later this year.

    It's been a while since I've read it but wasn't it because
    She had been beaten up or something just before they went there so her face was all swollen and bruised so not recognisable?

    I'm currently reading Booky Wook 2 by Russell Brand and will be reading Brung Up Proper by Jason Manford when I've finished. I always feel a bit embarrassed reading autobiographies unless they are about people who are terribly clever and well thought of. I know it's complete literary snobbery but I always feel like they're a bit low brow. :o
