ARC – Scuffed Granny

Lovestruck Maggot by Jarrett Brandon Early

Fast-paced and imaginative with whip-crack exchanges of dialogue, this is a great cross-genre read, mixing sci-fi with humour and romance

Irene Loftin’s book is a revelation to me as a Brit: that the Spanish were the first European colonists of America at St. Augustine.

A thriller which spans many things – love, terrorism, secrets, promises, espionage – all propelled by a meeting that might never happen

A book which conveys a rollercoaster of a story where a luxury life is all excess but can it endure with this as its foundation?

A light thriller and mystery where Emma, our heroine, is invited to a will reading but the legacy on offer is less prize and more challenge

Dark, tense, violent, the backpacker’s mecca of Thailand broods blackly as Dan, a reporter, investigates two brutal killings on an island

A thought-provoking book for our times, dressed up in a parody of a classic story, acting allegorically to show the fight against oppression

An international thriller, pacy and well-plotted with twists to keep you guessing and characters to root for

A new fictional police detective is here – smart, determined, a great team leader but is DCI Ben Fitzpatrick battling more than just crime?

Quiet goodness and guidance is passed on in these stories of people, in many different situations, told with thoughtfulness and meaning
