Beryl Bainbridge: An Awfully Big
Adventure / B

An Awfully Big Adventure

A thoroughly enjoyable mystery story with all the tropes and pleasures of a golden age detective story' Observer 'A glamorous recipe of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie' Paula Sutton 'Imbued with luxury and lurking danger' S.J. Bennett 'Murderously fun' Jessica Bull 1922: You are cordially invited to summer at the Gatsby Mansion in West Egg, with the most illustrious - and the deadliest - guest list. Freshly twenty-one and sporting a daring new bob, Greta Gatsby - younger sister to the infamous Jay - is finally free of finishing school. An idyllic summer stretches ahead of her at the Gatsby Mansion, the jewel of West Egg. But when Greta arrives at the secluded white-stone estate bathed in the late-afternoon light, she finds she isn't the only visitor. Jay is hosting an intimate gathering of New York's fashionable set: Daisy and Tom Buchanan, along with his brother Edgar, Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker. That evening, the guests enjoy a candelabra-lit dinner party. That night, they dance to the lilt of the gramophone. The next morning, one of them is missing. Murder has come to West Egg, the warm breeze tainted by scandal, betrayal and secrets. Turning sleuth isn't how Greta meant to spend her summer - but what choice does she have when one of them could be next? The gilded opulence of the Roaring Twenties. A murder that scandalises high society. And a clever young woman of unusual persistence . . . A deliciously unputdownable whodunnit perfect for fans of The Christie Affair and Miss Austen Investigates. 'Compelling and bursting with 1920s flair, this new twist on the iconic tale will delight newcomers and old fans alike' CE McGill, author of Our Hideous Progeny 'Absolutely devoured this glorious romp of a novel. The Gatsby Gambit is pure escapist fun - a pacy, clever, witty mystery that I galloped through with sheer delight' Naomi Kelsey, author of The Burnings 'A glamour-filled, thrilling read that kept me guessing to the end! It was such a treat to be back in the world of Gatsby!' Kate Weston, author of You May Now Kill the Bride 'Claire Anderson-Wheeler brilliantly intertwines the allure of the Jazz Age with a gripping murder mystery in The Gatsby Gambit. A dazzling homage to Fitzgerald's world, this novel captivates from the first page to the last' Joanna Wallace, author of You'd Look Better as a Ghost 'Lively, smart, and fun . . . As charming as Daisy Buchanan herself' Flynn Berry, author of Northern Spy 'With a fiercely defiant female lead and secrets as sharp as the prose, The Gatsby Gambit oozes glamour and intrigue. I loved this bold take on a beloved classic' Trisha Sakhlecha, author of The Inheritance

A completely unputdownable golden age murder mystery

Family Drama

ONCE UPON A TIME LIKE YOU'VE NEVER READ IT BEFORE... DI Lyla Rondell is on the case of a lifetime. Tasked with investigating a series of perplexing deaths, the only lead she has is that each appears to be based on a different classic fairy tale. Far from the stuff of bedtime stories, the press is having a field day with what they have named the Grimm Ripper Murders. But as the bodies stack up, Lyla's whole world is about to flip on its head. Because the killer's bloody trail stretches deep into her own origin story, and when she discovers the truth, nothing will ever be the same again. Faced with the fact that everything she knows is fiction, Lyla will have to take a little creative license of her own if she's going to turn the final page on the killings... 'An exquisite puzzle of a crime thriller, it revels in the shadows, as reality is savagely entwined with the very roots of storytelling itself... Prepare to be spellbound because A. K. Benedict is a master of this darkest art' JANICE HALLETT 'A clever, clever, thoroughly meta, extraordinarily enjoyable modern fairy-tale with layer after layer of intrigue and a breathless pace, I loved it, especially the delicious happy ever after' ANDREA MARA 'Hugely inventive and mind-bendingly clever' CLAIRE McGOWAN &nbsp; 'A fairytale trickster of a book, witty, sly and wickedly clever; it gripped me from first page to last.&nbsp;This is the thriller you'd get if Angela Carter kidnapped Stephen King and made him write with toadstool ink' KIT WHITFIELD &nbsp; 'Some passages read like Agatha Christie, some like Angela Carter&nbsp;- but all of it is written with the smoothness and intelligence that is AK Benedict's signature style. With charm and chills often on the same page, this is a serpentine novel that refuses to give up its secrets until it's good and ready' CHARLOTTE BOND

A mind-bending murder mystery like nothing you've read before - enter the woods, if you dare

Little Red Death

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of American Dirt, comes a heartfelt, multigenerational family story which asks: what does it mean to call a place home? 'Delectable... a pleasure to read' THE TIMES 'A riveting tale of three generations, this is storytelling at its finest' JOHN BOYNE 'Utterly absorbing, a big, sweeping story of family and identity' EDEL COFFEY 'Why hadn't she said to her daughter I love you beyond reason and none of this matters at all and every day that you breathe is a gift?' Rafaela remembers everything that matters: her beautiful childhood in San Juan, her marriage to Peter, uprooting their children, Ruth and Benny, to the American Midwest, and losing all sense of her place in the world. So she tells no one when her memory begins to slip. Her daughter, in New York with a family of her own, wishes she could forget her muddy feelings about where she comes from - the same feelings which motivated her 22-year-old daughter Daisy to reconnect with their past. Daisy, who has momentarily forgotten everything, hears the word critical in a hospital room in San Juan and remembers, all at once, the car that hurtled towards her, the terrible storm, and something else. What was it? Now Ruth and Rafaela must return to the city where it all began, to gather by Daisy's bedside and confront the twists of fate that have caused a growing rift in their family and led them to this moment.

Dandelion is Dead

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins, a tense, feverish thriller about two women's lives that are forever intertwined when a murder threatens to expose them both. Everyone at Chantilly's Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. Flirted a little with a local but returned alone to her bed-and-breakfast before midnight in her sleek car. But that woman wasn't Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price. Aubrey has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she's convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there's more than one way to get to the truth - and she may have found the perfect way in. Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life; she's married to hotshot lawyer Ben and is the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it seems: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can't find proof because he tracks her every move. Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan. It sounds simple: For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille's place. Camille will spy on Ben, and the two women will get the answers they desperately seek. Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered. Both women need an airtight alibi, but only one of them has it. And one false step is all it takes for everything to come undone. It can be murder to walk in another woman's shoes...
