Set in London 1960 and the lives of teenage twins Maisy and Duncan change for ever the night their mother is taken into an asylum. Sent to live in the New Forest with their cold-hearted grandmother, Mrs Mitcham, the children feel unloved and abandoned. At least they have each other, but one day Duncan doesn't come home from exploring in the forest and no one, least of all his grandmother, seems to care about his disappearance. The police who have found the bodies of other missing boys offer little hope of finding Duncan alive. Yet Maisy refuses to give up. Although she doesn't know the woods well, she knows someone who does, the strange old woman who lives at their heart. Does Maisy dare enlist the help of the woman in the wood? The Sunday Times bestselling author provides a narrative that gallops along in a glorious and heartwarming story of a girl who at just 15 was determined to find the truth. 398pp, Penguin paperback.

Melissa Craig is absolutely delighted with her new life in an old crumbling cottage, spending her days pruning the primroses and getting to know Binkie, the ginger cat next door. She only wishes she had made the move to the countryside sooner, but when a knock at the door brings news of a shocking discovery, she suddenly finds herself thrown into the middle of a baffling mystery. The bones of a young woman have been found in the woods just behind her new home. Perhaps the little village of Upper Benbury is not as idyllic as it first seemed?

From the bingo hall to the beauty salon and beyond, her search ruffles a few feathers and uncovers many of the village's most scandalous secrets, but gets her no closer to finding the culprit. The discovery of a tatty old photograph in a drawer is the final piece of the puzzle she needs, but as a newcomer in this close-knit community, does Melissa have what it takes to get to the bottom of this extraordinary murder mystery alone? 280pp, paperback.

Bibliophile price £5.00
Published price £9.99


World War Two casts a long shadow in the Périgord as Bruno, the local cop in St Denis, knows. When some rare bank notes are discovered, it appears that they may be linked to the legendary 1944 train robbery at Neuvic, Dordogne. Bruno is already dealing with a wave of local burglaries which has brought his old flame Isabelle back to the town. Tasked with piecing together these past crimes, Bruno now finds he has the more pressing matter of a body on his hands. At the time of his death, the man was holding a strange looking bank note which turns out to have been part of a huge consignment when billions of francs were stolen from a Nazi train. The money was being sent to fund the refurbishment of part of the German Navy submarine fleet and was destined for Bordeaux but was intercepted by a group of Resistance fighters aided by Spanish comrades who stole all the money. The haul was estimated to have been worth between 300 and 400 million euros in modern money and most was never traced. Meanwhile the robberies of local holiday homes include that of a retired British civil servant and in another incident a British holidaymaker is attacked and killed. As ever, the description of meals that Bruno prepares is mouthwatering! 341pp, paperback.
