The Mole People by Kevin Landt

Suzie suffers from schizophrenia and when this starts to drag her life into darker realms, we go with Landt’s narrative to the Mole People

A well-paced book which crosses genres into post-war thriller, murder mystery and amateur detective fiction with the odd historical cameo

A novel based on the life of the author’s uncle, spanning the 20th century and describing a life of variety and adventure

A great fantasy opener from Krystal Bailey, which promises much more, with tense action, great characters and a world easy to visualise

A story of universal domination set in a futuristic sci-fi world but also an examination of a controlling and damaging relationship

A novel which is a mixture of fairytale, historical fiction and thriller, which explores immortality and the ambitions of man to acquire it

A tale of family and the impact that war can have, in its many manifestations: death of loved ones, loss, grief or in the hardship it brings

A search for a missing girl takes our heroine, Andie Yates back to Bayswater where she grew up and which holds good and bad memories for her

A novel of two tales, beautifully told, which weaves the weight of loss, youthful idealism and the limitations of old age together

An honest, sometimes excruciatingly so, collection of personal essays, which is also incredibly witty and made this reader laugh out loud
