    Excerpt | The Last Weekend Of The Summer by Peter Murphy   As the truck slithered to a halt on the gravel road, Susie and Joey took off. It was one of their cottage rituals, running to Gloria who stood waving from the veranda. For the last few years, Joey had let Susie win but had always made it look like he was running as fast as he could. Johnnie and Carol sat back and watched.

  • Book Review – Those Other Women – Nicola Moriarty

    Those Other Women – Nicola Moriarty Published July 26th 2018 by William Morrow (HarperCollins) Swathi’s rating: 4/5 Verdict: A brutally honest page turner, and a must-read for contemporary women. This book had been a getaway experience from the series of crime thrillers I’ve been reading. When I read the description of this book at edelweiss, I thought it would be a change to read a contemporary women’s fiction, and my mood matches the tone of the book. So I was good to go with it. As soon as I started a few chapters, I had my doubts. Am I wasting my time on this? I’ve so many thrillers waiting for me, should…
