Travels in Southern England – The Colne Valley

The Colne Valley contains 43 square miles of parks, green spaces and reservoirs alongside the River Colne and Grand Union Canal, mainly in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.  I have spent many weeks exploring this beautiful area and watching its abundant wild life.  Now is the perfect time to visit the lakes near Rickmansworth Aquadrome as the wildfowl eggs are hatching.

Book Review – A Litter of Bones by J D Kirk

I am reviewing the audio book version of this novel which is a task I have not done before as I usually down load the ebook to read.  This is a tense thriller in which a team of detectives led by a DCI Logan are investigating the disappearance of a young boy in the Scottish Highlands.  Logan had previously brought to justice a serial killer of children and was seeking to find a boy whose body had not been accounted for.  There were striking similarities between the past case and the current abduction.  Had Logan got the wrong man or was this a copy cat scenario?

The characters in this narrative are wonderfully described particularly the interaction between the members of the investigative team.  There is some humour between them but mostly tension as they sought to find the boy before he is found dead.  The story kept me listening avidly right to the end.  I particularly like the Scottish brogue of the narrator which added to the narrative atmosphere.  I thoroughly recommend this book to all fans of this genre.
