Review: The Man Who Didn't Call

The Man Who Didn't Call by Rosie Walsh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sarah bumps into Eddie whilst out walking one day, and they go to the pub for a drink, which then turns into six glorious days together before Sarah has to return to her home in LA and Eddie has to go on holiday to Spain. They have fallen in love, and neither of them have been so certain of anything else in their lives. Eddie promises to call from the airport, but he doesn’t call, and all contact ends.

Sarah’s friends told her to forget him and move on but she just can as she knows something must be wrong. Then Sarah discovers why Eddie didn’t call.

This is an amazing book. All the way through it I thought I’d sussed out several different scenarios, and I was wrong about every single one!! It had more twists and turns than a roller coaster at Thorpe Park, but I still encountered a knot in my stomach, and on several occasions, I read pages and pages whilst holding my breath.

Rush out and buy this – it is a truly wonderful read which will have you absorbed in the beautifully written prose, and the completely believable dialogue.

Bravo Ms Walsh!

Summer Wedding by Sarah Morgan published by HQ Books

When Adeline receives a wedding invite to her mother’s fourth marriage on the island of Corfu, she despairs and makes the decision not to go, until her father, talks her round! Adeline’s half sister Cassie lives life through the pages of a romance novel the type that her mother, bestselling romance author Catherine Swift writes and she can’t wait for the nuptials. The invites though hold a secret…who is the mystery groom and why all the secrecy behind him? This story is told from the perspective of the two daughters and their mum, and although you will probably guess the twist (I did!) it certainly doesn’t distract from the story and the wonderful description of Corfu and it’s scenery. I initially started this book and then stopped it and read another book in between and now looking back I’m not sure why I did that because when I returned to it, I couldn’t stop reading it!! I also read this when I was lying in bed with Covid, and it transported me on a holiday to Corfu exac...
