Description: ISBN 0007168209 / Author: Daisy Waugh / Genre: Fiction Newest Review: ... it was an interesting and tempting start to the saga, although by about chapter 3, I was gradually going off the idea of ... more  ... finishing the book.
Horatio and Maude are supposed to be making a living from growing vegetables, although no one ever sees their market stall, and rumours are flying around the village.

Almost a good book 
Shallow story and 2 dimensional characters Witty legal tale, with likeable main character. None for me. Lady Jane and her family are brought to life. Philosophical discussion slows the tale down. Good storyline involving Billy, good by the end Didn't warm to the main characterEasy Prey - John Sandford
Lucas Davenport is back Too mundane, a bit dated
Dance Upon the Air - Nora Roberts
A VERY GOOD READ, ABSORBING, GREAT DESCRIPTIVES... IT'S ONE OF THREE BOOKS AND BY THE END YOU'LL BE CLAMOURING FOR THE REST!
Hidden - Paul Jaskunas
An ego boost for the hopeful novelist. More or less the whole book.
Consent To Kill - Vince Flynn
An excellent story, with addictive characters and a nice fast pace The end seems to be rushed compared to the build up to the story
The Boss - Michael Crick
Crick, Michael - Sports
State of War - James Risen
Risen, James - Politics / Society / Philosophy
Queen of the Big Time - Adriana Trigiani
Good balanced story. A little light
Secret Prey - John Sandford
Great mystery that turns into thrills, well written May make other in the series seem inferior?
The Matisse Stories - A.S. Byatt
Wonderfully written, interesting, poetic, I want more......
Animal Instincts - Alan Titchmarsh
Entertaining light read with fast plot. Fast plot sometimes lacks depth.
