The fourth Musketeer by Roz White.
Bev, Monica and Roxy are the Three Musketeers of The Sisterhood support group - always together, a gang within the club, inseparable. But new girl Sarah has been welcomed in, and there are signs that the little bunch is about to expand and become a foursome.
This was a fantastic read with brilliant characters. I loved them all. I had a few tears reading this. I do hope there is more to come. I love this series. Full of twists and plots. Highly recommended. 5*. Tbc on fb.

The first thing that strikes me as I sit flicking through the book (I often do that before reading), is that, although there are 34 chapters, each are short at just a couple or so pages long.
There’s an introduction and author’s note to begin with. This book is stand-alone, but these are worth reading to place it in some context of the world this author has created, before reading the actual story.
The thing to remember is that books are universal as are people and everyone in unique and this book adds to the unique mix of people who make up planet earth. I will add that this is not really my usual type of book, but I reckoned, why not give it ago as there are elements of it that I find in any other book that I read and an air of mystery about it with the missing Roxy. So, please do continue and read this review, even if this is also not your normal type of book to read. You might find something within it that may make you want to give it a go anyway. Essentially it holds the theme of friendship and there’s a mystery involved within it.
The story begins at the Sisterhood support group and the arrival of the newcomer and you get the beginnings of the sense that the friends have bonded and are trying to be welcoming. The story then picks up pace as the night draws to and end and there’s some trouble in the pub they head to. Readers are also given an insight into their workplace – a building company, which isn’t overly done, but appears realistic and believable for this story.
There’s good descriptive language used within this book when setting scenes and setting certain tones.
The book seems, perhaps a little too rushed in certain places, but there is the sense of the characters out to support each other, even using social media to be able to this too, which is a modern element of this story, which is good. There’s more elements that readers will get about the strength of friendship and care they have for each other when there are police at a road and the friends or musketeers realise they’ve not heard from Roxy.
There are elements that I like within this novella that can be translated into having important meaning about friendships. There’s a bit where it is pointed out that each of them don’t know all that goes on in each other’s lives but there’s also that element of how any of them has silent periods where they don’t contact each other and yet should talk to each other. This is and should be thought-provoking for the real world too, not just for trans but for every person to perhaps have decent, quality contact with friends. I won’t bang on about it, although I easily could, but I don’t want to detract from my review of this book.
There is a body and missing person. The mysterious atmosphere slightly intensifies as the friends go off to do some detecting work and here the story really comes into its own even more as thoughts of whether the two are connected or not, enters the mind.
The book, as I mentioned is not one that I would normally read, but I wanted to give it a chance. A book is a book after all. Although there were things like the lack of page numbers and certain parts being rushed, the book does come into its own further on, so it is worth sticking with it. After speaking with the author, this was agreed, especially the page numbering. The author informed me that the input of page numbers is still being worked out, since this book is not published by a large, traditional publishing company. The style of writing is fine and we get a sense of the characters personalities and what they face. Readers will get an insight of the Sisterhood that Roz White has created for her full novels too. I feel, although for me, it didn’t quite hit 4 stars, it was close to it. It’s still worth reading it. The themes are well thought out and are very much present throughout the book and there are elements of trepedation. There’s enough characterisation for readers to grasp onto and start to care about these characters, more so when Roxy actually goes missing and the panic really sets in.

Another great book from this Author. This is quite different from the tales of the Sisterhood and plunges Sarah into a different set of friends. Friends who enjoy their evenings out, but perhaps don't leave their masculinity at home in the same way the Sisterhood do. It took a bit of getting used to - I love 'the girls' and would love to spend afternoons drinking cocktails and discussing dresses. This lot are a bit different and perhaps were a bit more intimidating for me - supping pints whilst dressed to the nines! I say that because as a reader you may notice the differences too.
I love the author's style of writing. There is a great story here and I enjoyed it and would recommend it. Don't just read this. Read the others too.

This is the fourth in the Sisterhood series, but this book takes a sidestep, introducing other members of the club - namely the Three Musketeers - who are a support group within the Sisterhood.
They take Sarah, the newest member of the group, under their wing. However, when one of the girls, Roxy, goes missing after an encounter with a man outside a club, The Musketeers become four as they search for both Roxy, and the reasons behind her disappearance.
Another wonderful story by Roz White, well told, full of fully rounded characters, humour and poignancy. Can't wait for the next one!
