Squaring Circles blurb: Free spirit Pandora is
shaken by the sudden death of her mother and the presence of a mysterious
stranger at the funeral. When her mother’s grave is disturbed, she turns
detective and finds herself drawn into a world of intrigue, centring round a
devious couple’s plot to exploit a healing circle for their own ends. Her
partner Jay’s collaboration with a sexy singer and her own encounter with
an old flame add to the confusion. Will she succeed in her quest
to restore equilibrium to her family circle or will the
decisions she and Jay make set them up for more heartache?

My Review
Not having read the first book in the
series, I did feel at a bit of a disadvantage trying to keep up with the myriad
of characters. Although there is a handy cast list at the beginning, I did find
it a bit of a pain having to flick backwards and forwards to find out who
everyone was. Once I had the characters established, I enjoyed the story and
warmed to Pandora, even though I personally didn’t get the ‘sound healing’, the
paranormal friend Enoch or the animal whispering or the mystical elixir of
life. One or two of the components would have perhaps been credible to a
sceptic but all of them together stretched my imagination just a bit too far. I
am sure, however, that these themes will appeal to many others.
3/5
