Twelve babies on a bike - Dot May Dunn

One of a rush of books hot on the heels of Jennifer Worth's Call the Midwife series. Jennifer Worth imbued

her books with the heartbreak, hardships and successes of old school midwives and the nuns. Dot May Dunn presents more of an account of each delivery towards qualification. More case study than emotive but not written in a technical way. Stick with Call the Midwife.

Stay Close - Harlan Coben

Coben at his best- fast paced crime thriller. false identities abound, histories are not what they seem and an elderly lady has flashes of lucidity.
When a man is murdered two people who each think the other may be responsible run off and try and build new lives. One almost succeeds, the other returns to the crime scene every year.
Meanwhile one police officer refuses to let go of a seventeen year old case of disappearance.
All tied together fluently resulting in a days worth of reading and a surprise ending.
Excellent read.
