The main streets were next to the boat jetties and alon...

Innocent Tears - Chapter One
Chapter One

She couldn’t help but smile. There was something in the girl’s eyes that held a hint of mischief and curiosity, as well as some sadness, and Emma was drawn to her instantly.“Nadine!” The stern voice of an elderly woman approaching the reception caused Emma to nearly jump out of her s...

Not a love between two dear friends, or even high school sweethearts. This had been the most taboo sort of love there was: a relationship between a student and he...

“Congratulations, darling.” His mother took his face into her hands and gave Ty a kiss on his cheek. Only a few years ago he would have been embarrassed by such open emotions in front of a crowd, but since his father died at the start of the year, he welcomed every such affection by his mum.

Ty held the Brownlow Medal in his hand, but didn’t feel like celebrating at all. His fake smile was just as telling as the lie he had told Katie that afternoon. And now it was his mother sitting there in the crowd amongst his teammates, his friends, the footy world, reporters and whoever else was imp...

Lee Child - Persuader (Reacher #7)
Publisher: Bantam UKISBN: 9780553815856
My rating: 3/5
The ultimate loner. An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, he’s moved from place to place … without family … without possessions … without commitments. And without fear.

But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfin...
