Georgie manages to get a trip to Nice in the middle of winter to try to find something stolen from the palace. But then a second theft and a murder put her in danger. Can she find her way out of it? As always, Georgie and her family and friends are a delight to be around. Also as always, this book takes forever setting things up before the plot really gets going. I enjoy the series, but I wish the mystery got moving sooner.

Excellent Affordable Earbuds
The soundison wireless earbuds are affordable high quality earbuds. They retail for £46.99 on Amazon.co.uk and they are well worth the price. They come in their own case which is also the charger. Nice and compact, easy to carry around. Charge within three to four hours and last about 8 hours continuous music. Easy to connect to various devices (i connected them to my Lenovo Laptop, Ipad 4 and Sony Xperia XA2 with no problems). Nice light indicators to show charging that changes colour when fully charged. Ideal for those with lower budgets but who still want excellent sound quality.

I think Luna's inability to believe that people don't do nice things just to be nice and not because they feel sorry for you/want something in return was very annoying. Yeah, crappy childhood/crappy parents, but it's been a good handful of years! Let it go! There were so many times I mentally screamed at my kindle while reading this. He likes you, stupid!

They got there in the end but God did I cry like a baby for a while. I think it was more frustration than anything though. She was so blind!

I will read all future releases by the author.

Great 3D
Nice ending that leaves you wanting more
Has to be seen in 3D, great story line and was certainly worth the 16 wait!
Think of it as a modern day Pocahontas. What's supising to me is how well it stands up 10 years on

See how it all began
A nice spin off series and you could watch this even if you haven't watched The Walking Dead yet, where have you been? A short series but good to see the early stages of the Zombie virus outbreak.

If you haven’t checked out Breaking Bad, it is never too late. The series is an interesting character study of how someone can start out nice and slowly become corrupt…

Nice idea
Most pixar films blow you away with the details of the animation, characters, story and voice cast. This just felt a bit short in every aspect compared to some of their recent films. One more for younger kids.

Nice visuals...
A very Artistic film from Ryan Gosling stepping behind the camera. The visuals and sound track are great and very cool. Sadly the film as a whole is a little odd and surreal. Bit of a marmite film I think.
