A Scottish Teashop in Napoli by Jane Lambert #Review #BirthdayBlitz

  Welcome to the 1st Birthday Celebrations for Jane Lambert's A Scottish Teashop in Napoli . I am reposting my review and hope you enjoy a return visit to sunny Italy. A tender and funny novel that combines the best of Scottish and Italian culture with the joys of female friendship and a cast of characters reminiscent of Jenny Colgan and Sophie Kinsella. When Lucy's childhood sweetheart stands her up on their wedding day, leaving her alone on a plane eloping to the tropical location of his choosing, their dream – now feeling like just her dream - of their bairn filled future disappears in a heartbeat (or the time it takes for her to listen to the rambling drunken voicemail he left calling off the wedding). In Naples, Elena is recently widowed and struggling to keep her husband's family's beloved and centuries old mozzarella factory afloat, whilst running her language school and bringing up their son.

Bobby March will live forever by Alan Parks #Book Spotlight


 On March 5th, Alan Park's latest crime thriller will be published by Canongate Books. Bobby March will live forever is the third Harry McCoy thriller.

WHO IS TO BLAME WHEN NO ONE IS INNOCENT?

The papers want blood.
The force wants results.
The law must be served, whatever the cost.

July 1973. The Glasgow drugs trade is booming and Bobby March, the city's own rock-star hero, has just overdosed in a central hotel.

Alice Kelly is thirteen years old, lonely. And missing.

Meanwhile the niece of McCoy's boss has fallen in with a bad crowd and when she goes AWOL, McCoy is asked - off the books - to find her.

McCoy has a hunch. But does he have enough time?


Alan Park's latest novel includes some hard hitting themes:
 inner-city poverty, gang warfare, the rise and fall of rock & roll stardom, illegal narcotics distribution and the spread of the IRA, seen through the eyes of his good-cop-in-a-gray-world, Detective
Harry McCoy. 
Bobby March will live forever will appeal to fans of Ian Rankin, Denise Mina, Peter May, William McIlvanney and Val McDermid, as well as TV series such as Idris Elba's Luther.
