We were delighted to see the below endorsements for Chris McGeorge's most recent book, A Murder at the Castle:

"McGeorge is an accomplished master of misdirection and as we join faithful servant, chef extraordinaire and amateur detective Jon on his journey into the Windsors’ stronghold of dirty secrets and hidden desires, the suspects and their motives tumble out like a sack of warring ferrets ... [A] gripping slice of pure Christmas escapism."
Lancashire Evening Post
"It's the perfect stocking stuffer for book lovers who get into thrillers ... Everyone's a suspect in this who-dun-it, in this spine-tingling yuletide mystery."
The Week

The cover for Stephen Moss' forthcoming book, Ten Birds That Changed the World​ (March 2023, Faber), has been revealed:

For the whole of human history, we have lived alongside birds. We have hunted and domesticated them for food; venerated them in our mythologies, religion and rituals; exploited them for their natural resources; and been inspired by them for our music, art and poetry.

In Ten Birds that Changed the World, naturalist and author Stephen Moss tells the gripping story of this long and eventful relationship through ten key species from all seven of the world’s continents. From Odin’s faithful raven companions to Darwin’s finches, and from the wild turkey of the Americas to the emperor penguin as potent symbol of the climate crisis, this is a fascinating, eye-opening and endlessly engaging work of natural history.

Happy Publication Day to Mark de Jager - Homecoming's Fall was published in paperback last week. This is the standalone addition to the 'After the War' series. A band of elite warriors, who missed the fall of the Kinslayer, are tasked with stopping a new evil…

The Plant Hunter by T. L. Mogford was named as one of The Times' Books of the Year:

"The Plant Hunter is full of suspense and at time, laugh-out-loud funny. I was sad when I got to the end. Job done, T. L. Mogford."

Another cover reveal this week was for Maddie Please's Sunrise With the Silver Surfers!​

Newly single at sixty, Elin Anderson decides it’s finally time for an adventure of her own. With her marriage to tedious Tom now officially over, Elin plans to visit the family she hasn’t seen in years. First stop: Australia!

But going home is harder than Elin thought. Everywhere she turns Elin sees brightness and colour, which only makes her own life seem even more drab and beige. How has she let herself fade away?

Determined to have some fun, Elin reluctantly agrees to join The Silver Surfers – a group of seniors who travel the coast, only caring about their next big adventure. Because life’s too short to watch the ocean when you could be making waves…

There’s only one catch – her road trip companion, Kit Pascoe. Kit is a man who doesn’t know the meaning of the word fun and makes it clear to Elin that this adventure will be subject to his own strict rules.

But with every new day, Elin slowly begins to rediscover who she really is. And she’s certain that rules are meant to be broken…aren’t they?

The new book from Noel O'Reilly, The Darlings of the Asylum, was published in hardback, eBook and audio last week. It is the second novel from the Wrecker author and is a gripping new dark historical fiction and captivating winter read for 2022…
