The Moon Over Kilmore Quay - Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bea received her Time Capsule letter from a grade school teacher- it seems to be sending her messages.  Like reconnecting with her best friend Bea rarely talks to. 
Bea convinces her other best friend and business partner,  Katrina, to visit Stephanie.  They find her depressed,  self loathing and heartbroken.  Stephanie's one again and off again boyfriend announced his engagement- to another woman. 
Katrina and Bea drag Stephanie out of her gloom. 
Thanks to a case at work,  Bea finally has a reason and motivation to go to Ireland- the granddaughter and daughter of Irish immigrants.  She can finally meet her mother's estranged family  - Bea's mother died when she was a toddler.  
The girls jump on a plan and embrace their adventure.  
Family. Bravery. Love. Forgiveness.  This story sucks you in. 
The positive female friendships of both Bea and her mother were the best part. Non judgemental,  encouraging and loving support - the heartbeat of the story.

The Stars Among us - Blurb

It was almost nine. Nora and Lucas both had to get up in six hours’ time, so they finished their drinks and decided to call it a night. Lucas didn’t want Nora to walk home alone to what he joked looked like a slum apartment. He thus accompanied her to the official hotel drivers, who were stationed in the alley behind the building. They were laughing because Lucas was telling the story of how Handmaids 1 and 2 had got into a fight that day over who would pass the bottle of water to him, not realising that he understood what they were saying. So they didn’t notice Dan until they bumped into him. He gave them a quick and curious once-over, and then launched into usual mode. “Well, well, so this is why you couldn’t come out for a drink with me?” he observed snarkily. “No, Dan, I didn’t go for a drink with you because I like spending my time with people who mean something to me, and you don’t,” she retorted sharply, only noticing after the event that she had accidentally said that Lucas was

Migration Event - Book Tour

Migration Event K C Gillis  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #migrationevent #kcgilliswriter #environmentalthriller #thriller #suspense #mustread #jordanreed #zooloobooktours This book is well researched, planned and executed. It immediately made me think of the Pelican Brief by John Grisham.   An environmental thriller that sucks you in, includes massively rich men and politicians.   Jordan receives a random tip about a wealthy man evading tariffs.  As she digs deeper, Jordan learns no one knows why this man bought a failing solar panel company.  Maggie is a die hard conservationist, with connections all over the world. Migrating dowitchers are literally falling dead from the sky. An autopsy reveals a specific metal poisoning. Found in solar panels.  Great suspense, lots of characters to keep the plot moving.
