BBE Blog Showcasing Faye and George Chamberlain.
BBE Blog Showcasing Faye and George Chamberlain. As we lurch into the last few weeks of 2022, we can comment that it’s been a right old year, hasn’t it? The controversial views expressed are my own and not representative of Best Book Editors as a whole. The year’s big news is that we lost… Continue reading BBE Blog Showcasing Faye and George Chamberlain.
Review Of Fairytales Don’t Come True: Volume 1 of the Criminal Conversation trilogy by Laura Lyndhurst
This is one of my favourite books of the year. It was a joy to read, and the story pulled me further into it with every page. In this first book in the series, we meet Dora, an end-of-life palliative care nurse. She’s assigned a new client, a lady dying of cancer, and while… Continue reading Review Of Fairytales Don’t Come True: Volume 1 of the Criminal Conversation trilogy by Laura Lyndhurst
Review of Face of Duplicity by Faye & George Chamberlain.
Face of Duplicity is the second book in this series and follows the very popular Connections Past. We follow Jeneva and the characters we came to love in book one, and in this story, they are even stronger. However, if we think it’s all happy ever after and life is safe—we’re very wrong.… Continue reading Review of Face of Duplicity by Faye & George Chamberlain.
Review of The Winemaker’s Son by Beverley Latimer
A must for the summer when the sun is high over your head or for the winter when the cold nights have marched in, and you long for the sunshine to pour over you again— Let’s go to the vineyards of France. In fact, this is a book that’s just perfect for any time of… Continue reading Review of The Winemaker’s Son by Beverley Latimer
Review of The Fifth to Die by J.D. Barker
So very disappointing. This would have received a solid three stars if it hadn’t been for that last page. For that, I gave it my second-ever one-star rating. Shame on you, Author. I waited several years for this book. I read The Fourth Monkey and loved it. It works as a standalone, and for anybody… Continue reading Review of The Fifth to Die by J.D. Barker
Review of Mary Finch and the Thief: A Mary Finch Mystery (The Mary Finch Mysteries Book 1)
I bought the full set of these books in paperback for my grandchildren for this coming Christmas, but couldn’t resist having a little read myself—very careful not to bend the spine too far back and crease them. These are intelligent stories for the young reader—or, indeed, for anybody over the age of ten. I… Continue reading Review of Mary Finch and the Thief: A Mary Finch Mystery (The Mary Finch Mysteries Book 1)
Review of Love at War by Alan Hardy
This slips straight into the story beautifully. We have the inner machinations of Jennie and the backstory of how Malcolm did her wrong. I’ve read Alan’s books, and this one is the best. It’s my favourite because it feels relaxed. The writer is confident in his craft. He knows what he’s doing and exactly… Continue reading Review of Love at War by Alan Hardy

Blog: Alec’s Ashes: Part Three.
On Sunday morning, I woke up with the cockerel again. It was early, but I’d slept well and felt fine. So, to finish off yesterday’s awful, shameful and horrible entry. This is just to show that my mind doesn’t necessarily work in exactly the same way as other people’s. After being so ill… Continue reading Blog: Alec’s Ashes: Part Three.
