Advantages: Refreshing! Disadvantages: It's just water!
Waterwater everywhere, so let's all have a drink...at a slight cost to the consumer of course. The inventor of 'bottled water' is little short of a genius in my eyes, but then again we all need to make a living, so here's a product from one of those geniuses - Brecon Carreg Still Mineral Water.
Coming from the deepest, darkest depths of the Welsh Valleys, Brecon Carreg is filtered through layers of limestone at 'Black Mountain' (that's somewhere in the Brecon Beacons for all those looking for a small geography lesson!). It's bottled at the source, as are all good brands of bottled water to help keep it's clean, fresh taste.
Being natural mineral water there's no additional ingredients to help shelf-life or taste, but instead contains quantities of all the important minerals floating around in the Welsh mountains, such as ...
Advantages: Nice and fresh to smell and nice and cheap to buy Disadvantages: None I could find
size!
The second of the two books is called ‘While Stocks Last’, and buy the name I’m sure you came guess what it’s like. It’s full of bargain, usually products that are going to be discontinued and not featured in the Avon brochure anymore.

In the last order I was flicking through the ‘While Stocks Last’ book, and I noticed that there were bottles of ‘Still Waters’ perfume. I myself love the smell of this, and I have a few customers who I know like it too.
The perfume was only ...
Advantages: absorbing and easy to read Disadvantages: none
long conversations and I tended to lose track of who was speaking which meant that I had to reread some sections more than once. This is only a minor gripe though, and overall did not detract from my enjoyment.
The story gained momentum and pace as it neared the end and I was kept guessing right up to the end about certain outcomes. It was an interesting storyline and definitely maintained my interest throughout. However, I felt that many things remained unresolved at the end, but I suspect that this is because the book is part of a series. The rectory was nowhere near being fully restored and there were still many issues with Mark's daughter but these are likely to be picked up in her next novel. This is probably a clever ploy on the part of Judith Cutler, because it does make you want to find out what happens.
Overall, StillWaters ...

Keynote: -'John Harvey's Resnick novels are far and away the finest British police procedurals yet written' GQContents: -The battered body of a young woman is found floating in the still water of a city canal. Police suspect a serial killer which makes it a case for the newly formed Serious Crime Squad. Not Charlie Resnick's case then; not his worry. But soon another body is found and this time Charlie has a personal interest. His lover Hannah knew the murdered woman knew too that her husband was fiercely jealous. And very free with his fists. Arguing that her friend was the victim of domestic abuse not the target of some anonymous killer Hannah persuades Charlie to take on the case. Investigating the murder Resnick runs head-on into deeply disturbing questions about the nature of love about the relationship of abuser and abused and about our complicity in our own destruction.
