This chilling, haunting and twisty thriller about how far we go to protect our darkest secrets.

When young Kimberley Painter vanishes without a trace, her disappearance shakes the local community to the core.

Almost two decades later, when Kimberley’s body is found in woodlands next to a manor house, police officer Alessandra Cano must investigate what happened.

However, as Alessa immerses herself in the historic case, she’s besieged by eerie signs and messages, becoming convinced that Kimberley’s restless spirit is reaching out from beyond the grave.

A Signed Independent Bookshop exclusive hardback with sprayed edges from the global No.1 bestselling author of The Girl on the Train.

Eris, an island with only one house, one inhabitant, one way out. Unreachable from the Scottish mainland for twelve hours each day. Once home to Vanessa. A famous artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago. Now home to Grace. A solitary creature of the tides, content in her own isolation. But when a shocking discovery is made in an art gallery far away in London, a visitor comes calling.

We’re very excited to be supporting C.J. Skuse on the southern leg of her book tour, celebrating the release of the fifth and final book in her ‘Sweetpea’ series of novels.

Hosted by the Tea Leaves & Reads Bookshop, join us 1pm – 2pm on Sunday 10th November 2024. CJ will be in conversation with bestselling Author of Eat Slay Love, Julie Mae Cohen.

Held at The Fairground Hall, opposite the bookshop!

Our Blog

We have read books for over thirty years (or over sixty years if you combine our ages!). We often read and review books ahead of publication thanks to the generosity of many authors and publishers that we are connected with which helps us to know what’s coming and what we should be putting in our boxes.

I definitely don’t think you have to be of a certain age to appreciate this one. It’s hilarious, relatable and you will laugh out loud, trust me. Lisa Darling is the romantic comedy heroine none of us knew we needed but after the reading this won’t […]
A new love for sociopathic, unlikeable and unreliable narrators has been unlocked! Sweetpea by C J Skuse is a dark comedic novel that had me staring at the pages in both shock and awe. Rhiannon is an unapologetic female protagonist who has clearly been written quite […]
