We're kicking off this week's roundup with a gorgeous cover reveal, courtesy of Rebecca Griffiths and Bookouture:

Queenie Osbourne is the talk of London. Rising to fame as a singer after the Second World War, she is about to head to New York to make her fortune.

On the surface John Reginald Christie is an ordinary man. By day he wonders the bustling city streets. By night he is entertained by Queenie and her band. He is always searching for prey. Soon a young waitress named Joy catches his eye and his dangerous obsession begins.

Joy is preparing to wed Charles Gilchrist, one of the city’s most eligible bachelors. But Queenie has always held a flame for him and the spark between them is obvious.

When Queenie commits the ultimate betrayal against Joy, she knows her bright future is at risk. With nowhere else to turn, there is only one man who can help her. But Queenie has no idea of the dark secrets which lie behind the door of 10 Rillington Place. As Christie watches her approaching, will he risk everything for his highest-profile victim yet?


​The book will be released in September later this year, and you can pre-order here.


Congratulations to M. W. Craven, whose second and third book in his Washington Poe series, The Curator and Dead Ground have sold to Luitingh-Sijthoff in the Netherlands, and 2020 Editora in Portugal have bought rights to The Curator.

Lancashire Evening Post

Bestselling nature writer and author of The Robin, The Wren and The Swallow, Stephen Moss, masterfully narrates the lifecycle of the Swan through the four seasons of the year.

From the details of the Swan's lifecycle, to its place in popular culture and literature across the centuries, and from old symbolism to modern myths, The Swan is a fascinating guide to Britain's largest and most elegant bird.
