Still a fab game....

I have loved all the animal crossing games so when the new one came out on the switch it was inevitable that I would get it. You move to a dessert island and start by living in a tent which obviously Nook Store will upgrade for you for a fee. It's the same as previous games in that you are still collecting resources and selling items you find, though now when you are shopping there are Nook miles which you can redeem for objects. You also access alot of info on a nook phone which is a nice addition. The only annoying thing which has annoyed me with past versions is it plays in real time, so when Nook says you will get something tomorrow, or your new house will be ready tomorrow, that's exactly when it will be. Overall great game to pick up and play either for a couple of hours of just to pass a little bit of time.

Dark and Gritty

I am a fan of Paul Finch and love Lucy as a strong, female character who takes no prisoners. Here she finds herself in the midst of a pretty grim series of what initially appear to be a series of unconnected events but they quickly turn into a nightmare investigation. This is where I need to warn you that this book does contain scenes of animal cruelty and abuse ... it also contains scenes of human cruelty! Both are hard to read.

Dark, gritty, exciting, full of tension and suspense, well written with a cast of brilliant characters, this is a great addition to the series and one I would happily recommend.

This is the third book in the series and although can be read as a standalone, to get the best out of it, I would recommend you read them in order so that you get the back story to the characters ... you won't be disappointed.

My thanks go to Avon Books UK via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.
