Christmas At The Gin Shack

What a fabulous book! I was offered the chance to preview this book and take part in a blog hop and I am so glad I did. I was a little bit wary originally as I was aware that there was a previous book – The Gin Shack on the Beach which I hadn’t read and wouldn’t have a chance to before this hop and sometimes that leaves the reader floundering when tackling the next book but no such worries here. I haven’t actually laughed so much recently over a book.

For Christmas time this book has it all and will be among my must on Christmas reading for ever more. It has Gin, a fabulous cast of Characters, Cocktails and plenty of Christmas Sprit in among the real chuckling and laughing bits. The main character is the fabulous Olive – 84 years young and still going strong. The book is about Olive and hers friends Veronica & Randy who make up the Oakley Trio – all live at the Oakley West Retirement Home and Olives son Richard. As the run the Gin Shack they have decided to enter a competition the find the “Best Christmas Cocktail” and Olive it out to win!

For such a light hearted and fun book there was a real depth to the character and plots too. I ended up reading this in two days as I didn’t want to put it down!

Why try reading a sample of the book here and see if it has you caught?

 When Catherine Miller became a mum to twins, she decided her hands weren’t full enough so wrote a novel with every spare moment she managed to find. By the time the twins were two, Catherine had a two-book deal with HQDigital UK. There is a possibility she has aged remarkably in that time. Her debut novel, Waiting For You, came out in March 2016. She is now the author of four books and hopes there will be many more now her twins have started school. Either that, or she’ll conduct more gin research on Olive’s behalf.
