Under a Greek Sky
by Francesca Catlow
Family secrets and second chances
What an excellent way to explore – through a fictional story – the beautiful island of Kerkyra (Corfu), washed by sparkling seas! And I loved the dedication: ‘… to anyone who has ever rated or reviewed one of my books. Good or bad, you’ve been a bigger part of my journey than you could ever understand. Thank you for changing my life for the better.’ This dedication addresses a vital aspect of the author-reader relationship: the book reviews. Incredibly important for both parties, they serve multiple crucial functions in the literary world.
The Impossible Fortune
by Richard Osman
The fifth novel in The Thursday Murder Club series
A must-read for fans and an excellent entry point for new readers. While each book in the series features a self-contained mystery, I’d recommend reading them in the order they were published. This allows you to fully grasp the significant character development and appreciate the clever and intricate plotting for which Mr. Osman is renowned. It is always better to take advantage of the full experience.
The Women
by Kristin Hannah
Author of The Nightingale
An in-depth and captivating exploration of the Vietnam War and a moving tribute that honours the bravery and sacrifices of all female veterans, celebrating their extraordinary heroism and unhesitating commitment. It is a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction, and a powerful reminder that some of the most important stories are the ones that have been silenced for far too long. Also, a film adaptation of the novel is on its way.
Entitled
by Andrew Lownie
The Rise and Fall of the House of York
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson – a meticulous chronicle of the couple, from childhood to their controversial present. A book packed with revelations, extravagant lifestyle and business dealings. It also provides a detailed and unsettling look at Andrew’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, claiming the connection began earlier and was more extensive than previously reported. As the Daily Mail said: ‘The most devastating royal biography ever.’
How to Read a Killer’s Mind
by Tam Barnett
A darkly funny psychological mystery
Three hundred and forty-four pages of pure gold, well-received by early readers. Twisted, witty, and gripping from start to finish, this book is completely unputdownable. The narrative focuses less on the ‘whodunit’ aspect of crimes and more on the mental and emotional states of the protagonists. A must-read for fans of true crime-inspired fiction and psychological thrillers.
