The Pact by Sharon Bolton
A story of friendships tested beyond breaking point, which is so full of tension it’s hard to put down.

The MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood
If you enjoyed The Handmaid’s Tale on TV why not branch out and read this trilogy by Margaret Atwood? It’s a story that is, in turns, disturbing, fascinating, funny and frightening.

The Old Enemy by Henry Porter
Book 3 in the Paul Samson series, this is an absolute cracker of a story! Beautifully written, with an intricate plot, it’s unputdownable. 5-Stars.

The Whole Truth by Cara Hunter
An attractive student. An older professor. Think you know the story? Think again. This novel will turn all your preconceptions on their head.

The German Heiress by Anika Scott
This debut novel is an intriguing and tense story, set in Germany in the immediate aftermath of World War 2. Atmospheric and meticulously researched. Well worth reading!

A Song for the Dark Times by Ian Rankin
Another addition to Ian Rankin’s John Rebus series. Entertaining, interesting and welcomingly familiar, it’s also great fun to read.

The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells
This series should be on your ‘must-read’ list, even if you don’t normally like sci-fi. It’s scary, yet light-hearted and brilliantly entertaining. Murderbot is a ‘hero’ unlike anything you’ve met before. We joke not!

A Midsummer’s Equation by Keigo Higashino
In our post-Olympic haze, why not try this murder mystery, written by one of Asia’s most popular novelists? It’s full of charm and beguiling descriptions that will make you want to visit the land of the rising sun.
