'HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AMMMAZINNNNGGG!!!!!!!! Hands down one of the most unique storylines I have ever read, and the plot twist was insane!! I need MORE. It was easy to give this 5 stars' Reader review, 5 stars She's always been the quiet wife. Until now... On the surface it looks like I have everything most people dream of. A beautiful house on the West Coast, a loving marriage to a wonderful man, good friends. But still waters run deep. Back in college I dreamed of becoming an investigative journalist, but that all changed when my best friend disappeared. After Claire went missing, all I wanted was a quiet life. I gave up my dream of writing big news stories and I married Howard. And he's done so well with his business. He's just sold up for more money than we ever could have imagined. It's the perfect time to think about the rest of our lives. I tell him that the beautiful new housing development I've found in the breathtaking Colorado mountains is the perfect fresh start. A chance for us to really reconnect. But that's not the real reason. I can't tell him that I've uncovered a disturbing link between our new dream home and a long line of missing girls. Or how these disappearances are eerily similar to what happened to Claire . . . Now I'm alone in our new dream home and there are strange noises at night. And footprints in the snow that stop right outside our back door. I've always been the quiet wife, but I have to find out the truth. What if I've gone too far? An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a twist you will not see coming, perfect for fans of Charlie Donlea, Noelle W.

THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLERThe list he left had just one item on it. Or, at least, it did at first... Mabel Beaumont's husband Arthur loved lists. He'd leave them for her everywhere. 'Remember: eggs, butter, sugar'. 'I love you: today, tomorrow, always'. But now Arthur is gone. He died: softly, gently, not making a fuss. But he's still left her a list. This one has just one item on it though: 'Find D'. Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot, who she hasn't seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago. It seems impossible. She doesn't even know if Dot's still alive. Also, every person Mabel talks to seems to need help first, with missing husbands, daughters, parents. Mabel finds her list is just getting longer, and she's still no closer to finding Dot. What she doesn't know is that her list isn't just about finding her old friend. And that if she can admit the secrets of the past, maybe she could even find happiness again... A completely heartbreaking, beautiful, uplifting story, guaranteed to make you smile but also make you cry.

Scores are dead or injured. But who was the killer's true target? On a misty morning in the Lake District, two men depart by helicopter from a private estate. Below, they see the stunning views of Wast Water, with Scafell Pike ahead, where fell runners are competing atop England's highest mountain. It's at this moment that the pilots lose control, and crash into the mountain top. Runners and bystanders are caught in the devastation. This is the scene that greets DI Kelly Porter. She attempts to coordinate the rescue efforts, though it's clear many won't make it, including occupants of the helicopter. Three are dead, and the fourth is badly injured. When it emerges that the survivor is none other than the Right Honourable Lord Donald Reilly, and the person who chartered the flight was notorious billionaire Bartholomew Kennedy-Craig, the media frenzy is intense. Reilly is high up in government, and his contact with the magnate provokes speculation. When it is learned that the helicopter had been tampered with, Kelly and her team can't afford to make a single mistake. Who was the intended victim, and why? With the scrutiny of the government, the public and the press on her, just how confident can she be that the trail of evidence is leading her to the right conclusion?

'A sparkling debut - I loved Laura's witty and warm storytelling style and the evolution of Rachel Ryan's Resolutions!' - Zoë Folbigg, bestselling author of The Note Rachel thought this was going to be her year. Life had other plans... In January, Rachel Ryan's New Year's Resolutions are fairly predictable. Exercise more, put money into savings before spending it all on clothes, remember ridiculous rule that potatoes don't count towards your 5-a-day... Before long, though, the year ahead of her is very much not going to plan. When the creative agency Rachel works for is taken over, one of the new suits in the office is very familiar. And very handsome. Surely it can't be... Jack Harper. The man she has spent years trying to forget. Not only is Rachel now working with him, she has regular sightings of the gorgeous woman Jack cheated on her with - who happens to be plastered to the side of every London bus. Thank goodness for Tom, who is always there to listen (and pour wine).

A snowstorm. A stranger. A spark. It should be the perfect start to the perfect love story. But real life is far messier and more complicated than in the pages of the books in Megan Taylor's family bookshop – the last few years have left this young widow in no doubt of that. Moving back home to York should have been a fresh start, but all it did was allow her to retreat from the world. When prize-winning author Xander Stone rams his supermarket trolley into her ankles and then trashes her taste in books, Megan is abruptly awoken from her self-imposed hibernation. It's time to start living again, and she's going to start by putting this arrogant, superior – admittedly sexy – stranger in his place. Just as she is beginning to enjoy life again, the worst happens and Megan begins to wonder if she should have stayed hidden away.

Set in the frozen north of Canada in 1972, this is a beautiful Booker Prize longlisted novel about painful histories that need reckoning with and the moments in life when we can change for the better. 'I've been telling everyone I know about Mary Lawson . . . Each of her novels is just a marvel' ANNE TYLER Clara's sister is missing. Angry, rebellious Rose had a row with their mother, stormed out of the house and simply disappeared. Seven-year-old Clara, isolated by her distraught parents' efforts to protect her from the truth, is grief-stricken and bewildered. Liam Kane, newly divorced, newly unemployed, newly arrived in this small northern town, moves into the house next door, a house left to him by an old woman he can barely remember, and within hours gets a visit from the police. It seems he's suspected of a crime. At the end of her life Elizabeth Orchard is thinking about a crime too, one committed thirty years ago that had tragic consequences for two families and in particular for one small child. She desperately wants to make amends before she dies. Set in Northern Ontario in 1972, A Town Called Solace explores the relationships of these three people brought together by fate and the mistakes of the past. By turns gripping and darkly funny, it uncovers the layers of grief and remorse and love that connect us, but shows that sometimes a new life is possible. 'Poised, elegant prose, paired with quiet drama that will break your heart. The sort of book that seems as if it has always existed because of its timeless perfection' GRAHAM NORTON 'These interwoven stories of three people at different stages of life...will stay with me the way good friendships stay with you. It's already one of my favourite books of the year' RACHEL JOYCE
