Hot off the Shelves Reviewed by Luanne Oliver
Close Knit by Jenny Colgan Oh, I absolutely adore Jenny Colgan's books! Her latest release is Close Knit . What a wonderful cover – the colours drew me in. One of the things I really like about Jenny Colgan's novels, is that a good many of them are interconnected. Characters from the previous book will appear and welcome new players. Or there will be a mention of others further back. It feels like catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
Someone in the Attic by Andrea Mara Have you ever heard a noise in your house - one you brushed away? And then it returns and...is that?... That’s the premise for Andrea Mara’s new novel – Someone in the Attic ! Are you hooked like I was? That premise opens so many ways for the book to evolve.
Read more from Luanne at luanne-abookwormsworld.blogspot.co m I wondered how Mara was going to tie the myriad of threads all together. Lots of ah ha as you get closer to the final pages. An inventive and addicting read! Julia, her children and ex husband have moved back to Ireland from the US. They’re looking for a fresh start for their daughter – the why isn’t revealed for quite a while. Some of the the new neighbours are a bit odd. Being back in Ireland gives Julia the opportunity to catch up with old friends. It’s great to see them, but it also brings up some uncomfortable history.
Knitting plays a big part of Close Knit . (But you knew that from the book title right?) I need to find my needles and start to knit! Our lead character is Gertie. She is shy, quiet, and looking for more from life. I'll let you discover what she finds. You're going to love what happens! Other characters have their own moments and chapters. The reader is privy to their inner thoughts. I loved Jean – she is Gertie's mom. And the antics of her and her merry band of knitters had me laughing out loud. The book is set on a small island in the very north of Scotland. The description took my breath away. Close Knit had me laughing, hoping, wondering, imagining and more. I love getting lost in one of Jenny Colgan's books. THE TURKEY SHOPPE
