Borrowbox Gems

Little Sister by Lucy Dawson

This was an audio book I borrowed from Cumbria Library’s Borrowbox service. It was the first audio book I’ve listened to for a while and I really enjoyed it. Fabulous company for my daily exercise during lockdown.

The book is about Anya who goes on a cave diving holiday in Mexico by herself. Her sister, Kate, has no idea she has gone away until she receives a call saying Anya has gone missing.

Kate frantically tries to get the authorities to search for her sister and find out what happened. The story also follows Anya as she is trapped din the dark of a cave, completely alone. To stop herself panicking Anya relives her childhood and reveals a terrible tragedy that happened to them thirteen years ago – and why she cannot allow another tragedy to happen to her family.

The Holiday by T M Logan

Another choice from Borrowbox – an e-book that I downloaded through the ap on my kindle.

I really enjoyed this book – a good beach read and the perfect way to pass the time during lockdown. This is a fast paced domestic thriller that I had trouble putting down.

The book is about a group of 4 university friends who decide to have a reunion by going on holiday together in France. Its several years since university so their husbands and children also go. On the first day Kate (different character – same name as the last book – how spooky!) discovers a text message on her husband’s phone that suggests he is having an affair – and to make matters worse it seems to be with one of her friends, someone on the holiday with them.

Over the course of the next 7 days she uncovers secrets that change their lives forever.
