It may seem a little like stating the blindingly obvious but Audrey Davis has a way with words.
I’ve enjoyed the witty word play in both of her Hattie Hastings novellas which I read earlier this year.

In the opening pages, for instance, 50-something Emily is considering the Kim Kardashian question – how can a Continue reading

She’s equally stoical – wobbly legs aside – when ghostly Gary returns, wearing Continue reading
