The Cornish Connection

Oh, this is a book I adore, it is not CrazyTown, but do I care? No! It’s a book by Mandy so of course, I had to read it! This one is a calmer setting in Cornwall. This one I delighted in when I heard it was being written, psychics! I loved anything with the idea of mediums and the paranormal, even when they are not of the horror kind. I have always wanted to visit a medium/psychic and this book has urged me to do it!

Nancy is someone I fell in love with straight away. She is such a warm and caring character, she goes out of her way to help people, literally. She works in a cafe and has a gift, a connection. We see this straight away, her “magic” as I think of it, passing messages on to people and helping with peace but not really doing much about it until one day enough is enough and she sets up her own business as a PI, no not private investigator…a psychic investigator. She is married to a police officer, Charlie, and doesn’t want to be involved in “real” policing until Charlie brings a case home for Nancy to look at and help. Charlie is not really a believer though and very sceptical of it all. However, when Nancy pulls through you see his initial thoughts waiver.

Nancy helps so many people in this book and it was lovely to see so many happy endings for people. It was awesome to see how many people are automatically accepting of Nancy and her ways. I had such a lump in throat with the second of the police cases that Nancy got inadvertently involved in and although the case was not a nice one, the lives that Nancy touched was just nothing short of magic.

The ending was lovely especially seeing her case notes updated so we could see how everyone she worked within the first book we’re getting on. I just hope Nancy’s “winning streak” carries on in book 2!! Which I must say I CAN NOT WAIT FOR! Sorry got a bit excited there!

I can now say I am a super fan of Mandys I have read every single book of hers, all different genres, thrillers, romance, sci-fi, mediums, her repertoire is just unreal. She writes to you in a way that she grips you and won’t let go until the story lets you go. Not going to lie I do love her bat -shit crazy books but I do love this new direction she has taken with Nancy Cornish, plus a nice surprise to see a familiar name pop up in her book…begins with Z and ends in E…now I don’t know if it is mine or not but I might pretend that it is lol

I really don’t have a way with words, but this story is such a cosy and uplifting story it did make me smile. Even though I didn’t need to be I was worried about the outcome of the book and had suspicions of something may go wrong, only going by Mandys other books but luckily there was no wrongdoing for me…well unless you count the cases she worked! I had no need to worry, it was not a dark book, it was a …nice book, it was a sunshine book where you know all is right with the world and once you close the pages everyone will still be ok. I am really excited to see what happens next with Nancy and her clients, roll on book 2….even though this book only came out on the 30th April, we have so long to wait!!!!
