Post Mortem by Gary Bell
The second novel by Gary Bell in his Elliot Rook QC series. It’s pacey, exciting and fun. And it has a very unexpected ending. Well worth reading.

A Prince and a Spy by Rory Clements
A wartime espionage thriller featuring Professor Tom Wilde. It’s Book 5 in the series and, like all the others, a rattling good read. Tension, trickery and treachery!

If you thought you knew the Greek myths and legends, think again! This examines these well-known stories from an entirely new perspective, and it’s totally compelling.

Trust by Chris Hammer
We love Chris Hammer’s novels and this is Book 3 in his Martin Scarsden series. It’s a story you won’t want to put down and it has a seriously unexpected ending.

A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World by C.A. Fletcher
Described as ‘ferociously good’ this ranked as a ‘Top 5 Pick’ in Amazon’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy list last year. It’s thought-provoking, intricate and exciting.

Snap by Belinda Bauer
An astonishingly good story – tense, exciting, convoluted and very, very clever. An out-and-out 5-Stars!
