An Ambush of Tigers
Sarah Yarwood-Lovett
After a dazzling Indian wedding, Nell and Rav return to a frost-kissed Finchmere, eager to host their blessing in the woodland Nell loves best. But, as their nearest and dearest gather, someone is setting a deadly snare.
Before the celebrations unfold, a shocking secret is revealed, which shows how their families were fatally intertwined, centuries before Nell and Rav said, ‘I do.’
As their newlywed bliss unravels, some of their party are poisoned – and Rav is forced to face the risk of losing those he loves. While Nell wrestles with her own family history, the tragedies in Rav’s sow seeds of doubt as she hunts down the murderer.
But Nell cannot expose the truth that will save Rav, his family, and their relationship without evidence. Using all her ecological skills – and all her nerve – Nell must set a dangerous trap for the most cold-blooded killer she’s encountered yet.
The Basket Case
Tim Sullivan
Three go up. Two come down…
Detective George Cross receives a very bizarre call from a distressed family after their picnic was horribly interrupted. Just as they were about to tuck into their sandwiches, a human arm landed unceremoniously next to them. Soon, another limb followed.
As they looked up, they were horrified to see a decaying, disarticulating body perched at the top of a very tall tree.

How on earth did it get up there?
Flesh
David Szalay
Winnter of the Booker Prize 2025!
Fifteen-year-old István lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. New to the town and shy, he is unfamiliar with the social rituals at school and soon becomes isolated, with his neighbour – a married woman close to his mother’s age – as his only companion. As these encounters shift into a clandestine relationship, István’s life spirals out of control.
Years later, rising through the ranks from the army to the elite circles of London’s super-rich, he navigates the twenty-first century’s tides of money and power. Torn between love, intimacy, status, and wealth, his newfound riches threaten to undo him completely.

An old friend, Jane Faulkner, is going through a messy divorce, and her daughter Emily is keen to stay with Merrin. But just three days into the holiday, she disappears. Emily has pushed a note through Merrin’s bedroom door to say she is going back home to Bristol but has left behind all of her possessions.
It soon becomes clear she is not heading home and the police are notified, but when a ransom demand is made to her parents requesting £500,000 for the girl’s safe return, matters take a distinctly sinister turn…
