"When a young girl is sent to live with her uncle after the death of her parents, his manner and sorrow leaves her feeling bitterly alone. Neglected once again, she begins exploring the estate and discovers a garden that has become hidden and, aided by one of the servant's boys, begins restoring it to its former glory."

A lovely trip down memory lane, my Mum and I read this when I was just a little girl.
A great story for young and old, with life lessons I think more people could use these days.

This novel has multiple protagonists as well as multiple perspectives, but I think the most memorable characters are Marianne and Samantha. After Greg’s death, Marianne is trying her best to carry on living, she has a new boyfriend, but nothing will fill the void, especially when she finds out, that she is on assassin’s hit list. Why? That is what she wants to find out. Samantha is a very mysterious character, her whole life story slowly unravels throughout the pages, and it is a sinister story, where a person can be easily manipulated like a poppet. All the characters bring something to the story, making it a very twisty read, and I loved it.

A great indepth look in a pathologists life
I picked this one up cause I had seen it around a lot and thought it was similar to This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay. Same genre (medical), TOTALLY DIFFERENT!

This is a non fiction book with an indepth look in to the life/work of a Pathologist and I when I say indepth I mean it. Parts are very descriptive, Stomach turning. It will take you on a real life journey to many post mortems from babies to the elderly and all in between. Which may be an unpleasant and an unsuitable read for some readers.

However, it is an eye opening read, I learnt a lot from this book. It contains some of the worlds biggest terror attacks and devastating incidents. We get a good glimpse into what happens after death, how they reach verdicts and how pathologists conduct their work. It is brutally honest and fascinating. A real page turner and brilliantly written.

I awarded a well deserved four stars and would highly recommend to you all.
