The month started with The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett. I was really looking forward to this having recently read The Appeal and thankfully I wasn't disappointed. If anything this was better than The Appeal. There is a real nostalgia feeling to this book, it took me right back to my childhood and Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Secret Seven books.
Robert Gold's debut novel, Twelve Secrets, had me gripped from the start - a double murder and a suicide right at the beginning is guaranteed to make the reader want to know what has happened. The thought that the murderers were teenage girls is quite terrifying.
My favourite read of the month was The People On Platform Five by Clare Pooley. Wonderful characters, particularly Iona and her dog Lulu. The mix of ages and backgrounds of the characters is great, from a teenager to someone in their late fifties. The way that problems are shared and individulas supported is heart-warming.
