Maddy's Christmas Wedding by Rosie Green #LittleDuckPondCafeBook37#review

  Here we are at Book 37 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series!

Maddy is grappling with a secret. Could it derail all of hers and Jack's glorious plans for their big day?

Worst Case Scenario by Helen Fitzgerald #Review

Today we welcome Helen Fitzgerald  for her latest novel, Worst Case Scenario. 


Mary Shields is a moody, acerbic probation offer, dealing with some of Glasgow’s worst cases, and her job is on the line.
Imprisoned for murdering his wife, Liam Macdowall has published a series of letters to the dead woman, in a book that has made him an unlikely hero – a poster boy for Men’s Rights Activists.

Liam is released on licence into Mary’s care, but things are far from simple. Mary develops a poisonous obsession with Liam and his world, and when her son and Liam’s daughter form a relationship, Mary will stop at nothing to impose her own brand of justice … with devastating consequences.

A heart-pounding, relentless and chilling psychological thriller, rich with deliciously dark and unapologetic humour, Worst Case Scenario is also a perceptive, tragic and hugely relevant book by one of the most exciting names in crime fiction.

My Thoughts

 The whole tone of this book is one of black humour. It is gritty and irreverent and the main charcater of Mary has so much to offer. You can sympathise with her as she reaches the end of her career with just a short time left. Suddenly she is free to say just what she thinks.

    To have a middle aged woman as your main character is unusual but Mary hold your interest. Her life is chaotic and you hold your breath as to what is going to happen next. This is a dark but still funny book which is unlike any you have probably come across. 

In short: What will happen next? With Mary you are not sure!
