One of my all-time favourite series’ began with The Puppet Show, a serial-killer thriller like no other. The story follows the hunt for a killer who is burning people alive in the Lake District’s stone circles.

Wildly entertaining and not for the ... View Full Review

This is an inspiring tale from one incredible individual and although it was ... View Full Review

If you love a bit of Bridgerton, you have got to read these books! Twenty years ago, Katy Moran found an old Georgette Heyer novel on a dusty bookshelf and fell headlong into a world of gloriously practical heroines and charismatic heroes and her love of regency romance was born.
