Conor O’Shea  drives a small tour bus in Ireland and every week he welcomes passengers from America . He’s been doing this for years but he’s never met a group quite like this one. Everyone has a story, including Conor. You know there will be a happy ending for everyone but you don’t know until the end of the book how that happy ending will come about.

There are two other books in the series but I doubt that I’ll read them – unless they come up as a freebie on BookBub, as this one did.

Daniel has been gruesomely murdered on his houseboat in London. There are no shortage of suspects and each one of them comes with a backstory. When you add into the story all of the family and social connections between everyone you almost forget about the murder and who might have been responsible for it.

In the end, they were pretty much all guilty of something.

Teenagers Maggie and Eve were neighbours and best friends. One day, after an argument, Eve disappears. Later that day Maggie and Nola, Eve’s sister, find Eve dead in the caves near their homes. Maggie’s father was Chief of Police at the time but the case was never solved. There were no lack of suspects and when a new piece of evidence comes to light 25 years later Maggie, now a Detective on the police force, is tasked with reviewing the case.

There were parts of the story that were a little unbelievable but it was a good read.

We watched this series on Amazon Prime and when I saw the series was based on a book I wanted to read it. The author is one I’ve read and enjoyed before. I was curious how closely the book would follow the series and, for the most part, the stories unfolded the same.

Nine people have signed on to a 10-day retreat at a health and wellness centre. Each of them have issues they would like resolved whether or not they even admit to having such issues. Their course of “wellness” is a little unusual and experimental which leads them to a surprising conclusion.
