The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown and The Black House by Peter May

October 2012

For the second meeting we decided that we would have a second book for those who read fast.
The main book was The Weird Sisters.
"Rosalind. Bianca. Cordelia. The Weird Sisters.
Rose always first, Bean never first, Cordy always last. The history of our trinity is fractious – a constantly shifting dividing line, never equal, never equitable. Two against one, or three opposed, but never all together.
Our estrangement is not drama-laden – we have not betrayed one another’s trust, we have not stolen lovers or fought over money or property or any of the things that irreparably break families apart. The answer, for us, is much simpler.
See, we love each other. We just don’t happen to like each other very much."
I personally loved this book.  I could not put it down and it left me wanting to hear more about these wonderful girls and their family.
Overall Opinion: Good Buy from Amazon

Our second book was The Black House by Peter May.

"A brutal killing takes place on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland: a land of harsh beauty and inhabitants of deep-rooted faith. A MURDER. Detective Inspector Fin Macleod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. For Lewis-born Macleod, the case represents a journey both home and into his past. A SECRET. Something lurks within the close-knit island community. Something sinister. A TRAP. As Fin investigates, old skeletons begin to surface, and soon he, the hunter, becomes the hunted."
Gripping from page 1 another book that I could not put down.  A great insight into island life.

Overall Opinion: Brilliant
