Book Review
The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay by Nicola May
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
Rosa Larkin is down on her luck in London, so when she inherits a near-derelict corner shop in a quaint Devon village, her first thought is to sell it for cash and sort out her life. But nothing is straightforward about this legacy. While the identity of her benefactor remains a mystery, he - or she - has left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it.
Rosa makes up her mind to give it a go: to put everything she has into getting the shop up and running again in the small seaside community of Cockleberry Bay. But can she do it all on her own? And if not, who will help her succeed - and who among the following will work secretly to see her fail?
There is a handsome rugby player, a sexy plumber, a charlatan reporter and a selection of meddling locals. Add in a hit and run incident and the disappearance of a valuable engraved necklace – and what you get is a journey of self-discovery and unpredictable events.
With surprising and heartfelt results, Rosa, accompanied at all times by her little sausage dog Hot, will slowly unravel the shadowy secrets of the inheritance, and also bring her own, long-hidden heritage into the light.
My Opinion
I have previous read a different series by Nicola May so when I got opportunity to start this series I just had to take it. Rosa learns that she has been left a corner shop as well as some money to help her with the renovations. This book had be hooked, I read the majority of it in one sitting as I just couldn't put it down. This is an uplifting read with an adorable dachshund named Hot Dog.
I really enjoyed reading this and I am sure that you will also love it. If you have enjoyed Nicola May's other books then you should definitely be reading this series.
Rating: 4/5
