Here\u2019s my pick of this week\u2019s new hardback\/paperback fiction titles. In some cases the eBook might already be available. My source is primarily Th<\/strong><\/em>e Bookseller<\/em><\/strong>, but I\u2019ve started to include other sources to broaden the selection. <\/p>\n Just a reminder, I don\u2019t have access to a complete list of titles being published, and, as I don\u2019t see any advance copies, my choices are based on the cover, blurb, gut instinct and what takes my fancy at the time. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n (NB This post features Affiliate links<\/a> from which I earn a small commission on qualifying purchases) <\/p>\n Crime, Thriller and Mystery (includes Historical Crime\/Mysteries)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n General\/Contemporary Fiction<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Historical<\/a><\/strong> (I tend to take this as pre 1960\u2019s ie not in my lifetime!)<\/p>\n Romance<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Gone by Dreda Say Mitchell & Ryan Carter<\/strong><\/p>\n The deeper into the past she digs, the higher the price she must pay for the truth.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s been ten years since Alison\u2019s perfect world fell apart. Ten years since her son Sam disappeared while on a family holiday. Lost at sea, they said, his body never found. And even though her brother and sister were supposedly looking after the kids, Alison will always blame herself.<\/p>\n Caught in a spiralling web of all-consuming grief where the lines between reality and fantasy blur, Alison refuses to let go. So when her ex-husband seeks to have Sam officially pronounced dead, Alison embarks upon a desperate and harrowing quest to discover what really happened that day on the beach.<\/p>\n But is the truth worth losing what is left of her sanity?<\/p>\n Who Will Remember by CS Harris<\/strong><\/p>\n August 1816<\/em>. England is in the grip of what will become known as the Year Without a Summer. Facing the twin crises of a harvest-destroying volcanic winter and the economic disruption caused by the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the British monarchy finds itself haunted by the looming threat of\u00a0bloody\u00a0riots not seen since the earliest days of the French Revolution. Amidst the turmoil, a dead man is found hanging upside down by one leg in an abandoned chapel, his hands tied behind his back. The pose eerily echoes the image depicted on a tarot card known as Le Pendu, the Hanged Man. The victim\u2014Lord Preston Farnsworth, the younger brother of one of the Regent\u2019s boon companions\u2014was a passionate crusader against what he called the forces of darkness, namely criminality, immorality, and sloth. His\u00a0brutal\u00a0murder\u00a0shocks\u00a0the Palace and panics the already troubled populace.<\/p>\n Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, learns of the murder from a ragged orphan who leads him to the corpse and then disappears. At first, everyone in the dead man\u2019s orbit paints Lord Preston as a selfless saint. But Sebastian quickly realizes that the man had accumulated more than his fair share of enemies, including Major Hugh Chandler, a close friend of Sebastian\u2019s who once saved his life. Sebastian also discovers that the pious Lord Preston may have been much more dangerous than those he sought to redeem.<\/p>\n As dark clouds press down on the city and the rains fall unceasingly, two more victims are found, one strangled and one shot, with ominous\u00a0tarot cards placed on their bodies. The killer is sending a gruesome message and Sebastian is running out of time to decipher it before more lives are lost and a fraught post-war London explodes.<\/p>\n The Penfold Manor Murders by Fiona Veitch Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s open season at Penford Manor! But someone has murder in their sights\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n At Penford Manor, the guests are arriving to celebrate the start of the grouse-hunting season: lords and ladies, barons and baronesses, a Member of Parliament \u2013 and chemistry graduate turned detective,\u00a0Miss Clara Vale<\/strong>, an old friend of the family. But Clara is no ordinary guest: she\u2019s secretly investigating a blackmail plot against Lady Penford herself.<\/p>\n Someone in the house is already up to no good, but when the body of a local trade unionist is found in the grounds, Clara\u2019s case gets even more complicated because a clue left by the body links it to the blackmail note.<\/p>\n Who has discovered Lady Penford\u2019s secret? Can Clara and her trusted assistant\u00a0Bella<\/strong>\u00a0work together to find the murderer? And what do the cornflowers which keep popping up everywhere mean?<\/p>\n Amidst the glittering dresses and sparkling conversation of society, Clara must find the truth \u2013 before the killer acts again!<\/p>\n The Vinyl Detective by Andrew Cartmel<\/strong><\/p>\n The Vinyl Detective<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0plunges into the world of Italian movie soundtrack music in his eighth adventure that is sure to delight those who love whimsical British cosy crime. Expect laughs, LPs, cats and the return of fan favourites, Nevada, Tinkler, Stinky Stanmer and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n Some of the greatest (and grooviest) music ever committed to vinyl has come out of Italy in the form of soundtracks\u2014especially for that variety of lurid thriller known as a giallo. The maestros who composed these masterpieces include Ennio Morricone, Piero Piccioni, Armand Trovajoli\u2026 And Loretto Loconsole.<\/p>\n No one disputes that Loconsole was a genius, but was he also a murderer?<\/p>\n When his mistress was brutally killed in 1969, on location in Cool Britannia for a giallo called Murder in London, there wasn\u2019t enough evidence to prosecute him. But Loconsole died in the shadow of disgrace. Now, his granddaughter Chlo\u00eb has come back to England to hire the Vinyl Detective. She wants him to find an immaculate vinyl copy of Murder in London\u2026<\/p>\n And to clear her grandfather\u2019s name.<\/p>\n Can the Vinyl Detective and the gang\u2014Nevada, Tinkler and Agatha\u2014find out the truth of what happened in Swinging London more than half a century ago? And can they stay alive when there\u2019s someone out there who\u2019d prefer the secrets of the past to remain buried\u2014and is more than willing to kill to keep it that way?<\/p>\n Murder at St Paul\u2019s Cathedral by Jim Eldridge<\/strong><\/p>\n May, 1941. One of the senior choristers at St Paul\u2019s, Edwin Roberts, is found beaten to death in the crypt of the cathedral and Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson are called in to investigate.<\/p>\n The dead man was far from popular. That, coupled with a small army of staff at work at the famous landmark, including those on the Night Watch striving to protect the cathedral from the worst of the Blitz, means that there is no shortage of suspects. The case is complicated further by links to the top-secret war work being carried out at Bletchley Park and by the black market in rare books and valuable art which casts its shadow over St Paul\u2019s.<\/p>\n When the killer strikes again, St Paul\u2019s is in danger of becoming known as a place of death rather than worship, and Coburg and Lampson are under pressure to get to the bottom of a fiendishly complex investigation.<\/p>\n The Dorset Cream Tea Mystery by Rachel McLean and Millie Ravensworth<\/strong><\/p>\n When one of the members of The Lyme Regis Women\u2019s Swimming Club takes on a new job cleaning holiday lets, she expects her biggest challenge to be working her way through six cottages before the next guests arrive.<\/p>\n She doesn\u2019t expect a mystery.<\/p>\n Why is a picture in one of six identical cottages very slightly different to the others?

And what\u2019s that awful smell in cottage number one?<\/p>\n As Dorset Police investigate two murders they suspect of being connected with organised crime, Rosamund\u2019s mysteries may be more serious than she thinks. Will she and her swimming buddies be about to solve a double homicide?<\/p>\n The Final Wife by Jenny Blackhurst<\/strong><\/p>\n Till death do us part\u2026<\/p>\n Luke Whitney is stabbed to death. His wife Anna confesses after she is found next to his lifeless body. But if she did it, why can\u2019t she confirm any of the details of the crime?<\/p>\n As police dig into the circumstances, they learn that the victim was a liar, a cheat and a narcissist. More than one person had a reason to want him dead; his scorned ex, his neglected mistress and Anna \u2013 who knows what happens to Mrs Whitneys when Luke gets bored of them.<\/p>\n Luke Whitney had it coming. But who made sure he got what he deserved?<\/p>\n Back to Index<\/a><\/p>\n Lucky Night by Eliza Kennedy <\/strong><\/p>\n Nick Holloway is forty-six. A successful partner at a law firm, he has a gorgeous wife, a precious daughter, and a big house. If he also has gnawing disappointments, secret yearnings, and a creeping sense of opportunities wasted, well, that\u2019s nobody\u2019s fault but his own.<\/p>\n Jenny Parrish is forty. She has two lovely sons, a devoted if somewhat hapless husband, and recently is hugely successful in her dream vocation. It\u2019s a perfect life!

Lots of sex. Great sex. They do not discuss their spouses, they never spend the night, and they never ever talk about what their relationship means. Because this thing they have? It\u2019s casual. Uncomplicated.<\/p>\n When Nick books a night at a fancy new hotel, the two decide to break one of their rules and spend the whole night together. It\u2019s business as usual-until a fire alarm goes off. At first they think it\u2019s a false alarm. But as the fire closes in, fear strips away their defenses and justifications, forcing Jenny and Nick to be honest, with each other and with themselves, about how they ended up in this room, and what these six years have really meant.<\/p>\n Ordinary Saints by Niamh Ni Mhaoilcoin<\/strong><\/p>\n Can you imagine it?
