Books - Review

Young woman takes up her dream post - live-in nanny in a beautiful luxurious house in a remote, picturesque location. But the kids prove to be a handful, never mind the garden full of toxic plants and the constantly malfunctioning hi-tech house. And whose footsteps can she hear overhead, when there is no way into the attic?

OK, not bad. Clever ideas, a bit slow at times maybe.

A group of tech entrepeneurs go on a skiing work trip, only to be trapped in their isolated chalet by an avalanche. Then, one by one, someone kills them.

Good thriller, a nice update of Agatha Christie.

Isa drops everything when she receives an enigmatic text message from an old school friend, and goes to her aid at the old mill near their boarding school. A human bone has been found nearby. Ancient secrets come back to haunt them.

Quite good, not entirely believable.

Journalist woman goes on a posh exclusive cruise to view the Northern lights. She briefly meets a woman in the cabin next to her but then sees her being chucked overboard. But no-one believes her story and no-one is missing. What a mystery. Also she is drunk all the time. Or hungover.

Read about a quarter of this, but had to stop. Bit rubbish. Story, plot, characters - all rubbish.
