About the Books…
January – Miss Austen Investigates by Jessica Bull – Mystery
‘You must look beyond the obvious, interrogate all possibilities, to reach the truth’
Though young in years, Jane Austen has long had the sharp wit and shrewd insight to observe what others do not.
So when the body of a milliner is shockingly discovered during a lavish ball at Sir John Harcourt’s estate, she sees how blind polite society can be to the truth.
With the death pronounced a murder and Jane’s brother Georgy swiftly accused of the deed, the injustice of it strikes close to home.
Jane writes stories filled with secrets exposed, motives questioned, and manners deceiving. Now, she must turn her powers of observation to detection, to unmask the true murderer.
For if she fails, her beloved brother will face the ultimate punishment – the hangman’s noose . . .
February – The Unexpected by Ellen Wiles – Contemporary
A funny, addictive and poignant novel about what happens when the lines between friendship, romance, and family begin to blur.
‘Loved this clever and funny novel’ Anna Mazzola
Kessie and Robin have been best friends since they were small. Now they’ve reached their mid-thirties, and biological clocks are ticking loudly. But Kessie is single, Robin’s partner is ambivalent about trying for a baby, and single parenting sounds almost impossible.
When one of them gets pregnant, the other finds herself helping out to an extent that neither had expected. How far is a supportive friend supposed to go? What do you do when you feel like a mother to a child who isn’t yours? Are there alternative ways to conceive of a family?
March – Lights Out by Louise Swanson – Psychological Thriller
When darkness is everywhere, nowhere is safe…
A state of emergency has been declared in the UK. From now on, at 8pm every night, all electricity cuts out.
The Government promises it’s a temporary measure. They promise they are always thinking of your safety.
But for Grace, the darkness is anything but safe.
Someone is coming into her house under its cover every night while she lies in bed upstairs, too terrified to sleep. Someone who knows her past, who knows why she has more reason to fear the dark than most…
And every morning she wakes to a new message from the intruder:
I have you in my sights. Love, The Night
But how can Grace escape, when there’s nowhere safe left to hide?
