This was a relatively quick read on my Kindle. The book is well written and a testament to the Disney enterprise.

Benjamin, a nine-year old boy on the autism spectrum, takes his first trip to Disneyland with his parents. After seeing his reaction to one ride in particular – Snow White’s Scary Adventures – his parents decide to move to Orlando so that Benjamin can visit more often. After 3500 rides Disney shut the ride down but not before honouring Benjamin’s landmark rides.

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.
