Advantages: Good psychological thriller Disadvantages: none
I recently discovered the author Sophie Hannah after being given this book as a present. I was hooked from the first page and read this in two days!
When Alice Fancourt returns home after being out for the first time without her two-week old baby daughter Florence, she realises that the baby daughter she returns home to, having left her in the care of her husband David, is not Florence, but a baby she has never seen before!
David insists the baby is their daughter Florence, and that Alice is going mad!
Is Alice going mad? Or is David lying? And if he is, why would he do such a thing, and where is Florence?
Alice alerts the police, but has no proof, and DNA tests are taken. Whilst waiting for the results, David's behaviour towards Alice changes, becoming quite sinister and Alice feels threatened herself, both by him and his ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sophie Hannah
Advantages: A new take on jigsaws. Disadvantages: Can be a little fiddly for the slightly younger child.
As many of you will be aware, my daughter is a huge Hannah Montana fan, so of course any merchandise available works it?s way into her possession.
The product I will now review is - ?Hannah Montana - junior puzzle ball?
For my daughters birthday she received a couple of different puzzle balls and she enjoyed doing them so much I decided to invest again.
For those who haven?t heard of these the premise is simple. This is a jigsaw puzzle that is 3d, a sphere to be exact. Once they have been constructed there is a display plinth in the set, which is a small doughnut shaped base that holds the ball in place, and also, because it is free standing and doesn?t have to be glue on in anyway if the child so wishes the ball can be took apart and redone.

Advantages: A good Read Disadvantages: I have to wait till next year for her next book
Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah
I bought this book at my local Tesco on a buy two for £7.00 deal and it was well worth it.
I'm an avid reader and have read about 12 books this month of all different types. I tend to pick books by reading the back cover and then the first page and if it grips me immediately then I can't leave it behind.
The back of this book says "Three years ago, something terrible happened to Naomi Jenkins - so terrible she never told anyone" and the first page is an email she has written to a website called "Speak out and Survive"; you know then from the first page what Naomi's secret is, she's been raped. No I'm not giving the plot away, far from it, that's what I thought as well when I read it. I then though oh well; I'll give it a go anyway.
The next chapter is about a man she is deeply in love ...
