| The long-awaited third instalment of Ragnar Jónasson's Hidden Iceland series, The Mist, was published on the 30th April and has since garnered this absolutely brilliant review in the Daily Mail: "This is Icelandic noir of the highest order, with Jonasson’s atmospheric sense of place, and his heroine’s unerring humanity shining from every page." You can read the full review here. In addition, none other than Ian Rankin endorsed the book with this fantastic quote: "Chilling, creepy, perceptive, almost unbearably tense." |  |
Someday In Paris, the sweeping and evocative love story debut from Olivia Lara, was published last week in eBook.
This is the absolute perfect escapism for those wanting to shut the doors on the stresses of this time, if only for a few hours. Don't believe us? Some of the top women's fiction writers of today had this to say about it:
"Well, I just finished reading this beauty and - WOW! Stunning. Someday In Paris is a deeply moving, richly evocative story of love, loss and the power of hope. Absolutely gorgeous!"

"Someday In Paris was the bookish escape I truly needed right now. An epic, sweeping romance set in the art worlds of Paris and New York, it's about soulmates and second chances – a love story that felt timeless yet completely original. Adored it."
