About the book
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From bestselling author Meagan Church comes a haunting exploration of identity, motherhood, and the suffocating grip of societal expectations that will leave you questioning the lives we build—and the lies we live.
They called it hysteria. She called it survival.
Lulu Mayfield has spent the last five years molding herself into the perfect 1950s housewife. Despite the tragic memories that haunt her and the weight of exhausting expectations, she keeps her husband happy, her household running, and her gelatin salads the talk of the neighborhood. But after she gives birth to her second child, Lulu's carefully crafted life begins to unravel.
When a new neighbor, Bitsy, moves in, Lulu suspects that something darker lurks behind the woman's constant smile. As her fixation on Bitsy deepens, Lulu is drawn into a web of unsettling truths that threaten to expose the cracks in her own life. The more she uncovers about Bitsy, the more she questions everything she thought she knew—and soon, others begin questioning her sanity. But is Lulu truly losing her mind? Or is she on the verge of discovering a reality too terrifying to accept?
In the vein of The Bell Jar and The Hours, The Mad Wife weaves domestic drama with psychological suspense, so poignant and immersive, you won't want to put it down.

About the book
'An absolute treat of a read with all the ingredients of a vintage murder mystery: a country house, mysterious dead bodies and three actresses all keen to catch the killer. Perfect weekend reading!' Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal
'Celebrates and gently satirises Golden Age crime novels in a hugely entertaining country house mystery' The Times
Three rival actresses team up to solve a murder at the stately home of the author who made them famous - only to discover the solution lies in the stories themselves. A contemporary mystery with a Golden Age feel, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Jessica Fellowes.
In attendance: the VIP fans, staying at Aldermere; the fan club president turned convention organiser; the team behind the newest movie adaptation of Davenport's books; the Davenport family themselves - and the three actresses famous for portraying Lettice's 1930s detective, Dahlia Lively.
National treasure Rosalind King, from the original movies. TV Dahlia for thirteen seasons, Caro Hooper. And ex-child star Posy Starling, fresh out of the fame wilderness (and rehab) to take on the Dahlia mantle for the new movie.
Each actress has her own interpretation of the character - but this English summer weekend they will have to put aside their differences, as the crimes at Aldermere turns anything but cosy.
When fictional death turns into real bodies, can the three Dahlias find the answers to the murders among the fans, the film crew, the family - or even in Lettice's books themselves?

The Wall
Dystopian
Our take
On a battered island remade by climate catastrophe, survival depends on guarding the barrier that keeps the desperate at bay. In The Wall, Joseph Kavanagh begins his service as a Defender and quickly learns that fear, division, and duty can be as dangerous as the threat beyond the concrete. This dystopian novel blends political tension, survival stakes, and sharp social commentary into a lean, unsettling read.

Shortlisted for the 2020 Orwell Prize
"Thrilling…A topical and deftly satirical novel." —Anna Mundow, Wall Street Journal

Joseph Kavanagh, a new Defender, has one task: to protect his section of the Wall from the Others, the desperate souls trapped amid the rising seas outside. A blend of the most compelling issues of our time—climate change, increasing fear, widening divisions—The Wall is a suspenseful story of love, trust, and survival.

About the book
What if the Vatican’s most powerful exorcist wasn’t human?
From the bestselling author of The Paranormalist series comes a chilling new vision of demonic possession.

Dragon Sorcerer: Claws Out kicks off with Nico losing his home, awakening his magic, and bonding with a young woman named Cami just as survival gets much more complicated.

The Two Kinds of Decay is not interested in offering a neat, inspirational version of illness.
The Two Kinds of Decay
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
The Two Kinds of Decay is not interested in offering a neat, inspirational version of illness. Sarah Manguso writes about her nine-year battle with a rare autoimmune disease in spare, piercing prose that captures pain, addiction, depression, and the strange instability of living inside a body you can’t trust. What makes this memoir hit so hard is its refusal to soften the experience. It’s sharp, intimate, and devastating in a way that feels painfully honest rather than performative.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A poet and author recounts her nine-year struggle with a rare autoimmune disease in this spare and unsparing memoir of illness and recovery.
At twenty-one, just as she was starting to comprehend the puzzles of adulthood, Sarah Manguso was faced with another: a wildly unpredictable disease that appeared suddenly and tore through her twenties, paralyzing her for weeks at a time, programming her first to expect nothing from life and then, furiously, to expect everything. In this captivating story, Manguso recalls her struggle: arduous blood cleansings, collapsed veins, multiple chest catheters, the deaths of friends and strangers, addiction, depression, and, worst of all for a writer, the trite metaphors that accompany prolonged illness. A book of tremendous grace and self-awareness, The Two Kinds of Decay transcends the very notion of what an illness story can and should be.
Praise for The Two Kinds of Decay
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
Best Book of the Year, San Francisco Chronicle and Time Out Chicago
"Moving . . . a fiercely truthful memoir." —The Boston Globe
"Hers is not a day-by-day description of this grueling time, but an impressionistic text filled with bright, poetic flashes. . . . Many sick people learn to live in the moment, but the power of Manguso's writing makes that truism revelatory." —The Washington Post Book World
"Sarah Manguso has miraculously elevated the act of memory. She has found honesty, fear, longing and beauty in every moment of her young life, giving this book an intensity found nowhere else. You put it down panting with wonder and grief, but never with pity. A breakthrough in the memoir, and in writing." —Andrew Sean Greer

Six teenage girls are pulled together by a force none of them understand and told they’re the only thing standing between their town and an ancient evil.
The Circle
Horror · Teen + Young Adult · Occult Horror
Our take
Six teenage girls are pulled together by a force none of them understand and told they’re the only thing standing between their town and an ancient evil. The Circle mixes messy friendships, bullying, revenge, family drama, and first love with dark magic and a creeping sense of danger. With a cast of girls who are wildly different and not exactly thrilled to be stuck with one another, this first book in the Engelsfors Trilogy brings sharp character work and supernatural stakes in equal measure.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"What a stunning novel. Raw, real, smart, very thrilling, and very, very wicked. The Circle is Twilight by way of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." —Lev Grossman, New York Times–bestselling author
Minoo wakes up outside her house, still in her pajamas, and is drawn by an invisible force to an abandoned theme park on the outskirts of town. Soon five of her classmates—Vanessa, Linnéa, Anna-Karin, Rebecka, and Ida—arrive, compelled by the same force. A mystical being takes over Ida's body and tells them they are fated to fight an ancient evil that is hunting them. As the weeks pass, each girl discovers she has a unique magical ability. They begin exploring their powers. The six are wildly different and definitely not friends . . . but they are the Chosen Ones.
In this gripping first installment of The Engelsfors Trilogy, a parallel world emerges in which teenage dreams, insanely annoying parents, bullying, revenge, and love collide with dangerous forces and ancient magic. An international sensation with rights sold in twenty-six countries, The Circle is razor-sharp and remarkable from start to finish.
"The Circle ensnares you from the start, with all the epic mayhem and darkness of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and with teen characters as rich and nuanced as any reader could hope for. It's an utterly convincing world, and a resonant one, and we find ourselves wanting to follow its heroes anywhere." —Megan Abbott, New York Times–bestselling author
"The Circle puts its mismatched heroines—and readers—at the center of an ancient conspiracy of magic as terrifying as it is realistic. Enthralling from start to finish." —Elizabeth Hand, award–winning author

Waking up after an air raid to find your husband and baby are supposedly dead is bad enough.
Looking for Alice
Historical Fiction · Historical Mystery · Historical Thriller
Our take
Waking up after an air raid to find your husband and baby are supposedly dead is bad enough. Seeing your husband alive days later is where things get truly unhinged. Looking for Alice drops readers into Blitz-era Bristol with grief, suspicion, and a newborn mystery that keeps spiraling outward. As Jo chases the truth through blackout streets and mounting chaos, the story layers wartime tension with deception, murder, and a conspiracy dark enough to threaten far more than one family.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Jo Wheeler has spent days lying unconscious in hospital. When she wakes up she is told that her husband, Jack, and baby daughter, Emmy, have been killed in the same air raid that should have killed her too.
Stricken with guilt, she visits her family’s hastily dug graves, only to meet a man who looks just like her husband.
Who is this double calling himself Jack Wheeler?
Why does he run away?
Is this a case for the police or a priest?
Jo follows Jack to the Sherwood Tavern where he meets up with an eighteen-year-old girl called Alice. Is his death a hoax so that he can run away with his new lover? In the teenager’s arms is a newborn baby.
Before Jo can get to the truth she loses track of Alice and her child in the blackout, as the blitz on Bristol resumes.
She must find where her rival has gone.
She must do so before the police.
Because DI Lockett and Detective Frances Boulten are looking for Alice too – they have found a baby girl floating in the river which they think is hers. Did a falling bomb separate mother and child, or did someone deliberately abandon her?
Jo does not know it yet, but this is only the beginning. A shadowy organisation called The New Right Club has plans to use Alice in a crime that will shock the nation.
It will take place in a few days.
If Alice is innocent, then her life is in danger too…

The Red House Mystery
Mystery · Detective Fiction
Our take
A lazy summer gathering at an English country house turns deadly when the host’s long-absent brother arrives and is promptly found shot. With the host missing and the clues growing stranger by the minute, amateur sleuth Tony Gillingham steps in to untangle the case. The Red House Mystery is a classic Golden Age whodunit with wit, charm, and an old-school puzzle at its center.

About the book
A refreshing blend of wit and intrigue, A. A. Milne's only mystery novel is a masterpiece
Mark Ablett is not really a snob—not the worst kind of snob, at least. He simply prefers artists to everyone else, and the discussion of his own creative abilities to any other talk whatsoever. His vanities are easily forgiven especially since he is generous with his money—inherited not from his clergyman father but from a neighborhood spinster who took a liking to him—and he is always willing to play the host at the Red House, his delightful country estate.
One lazy summer morning, as his guests enjoy breakfast before a round of golf, Mark opens a surprising letter. His brother Robert, the black sheep of the family, gone some fifteen years now, is back from Australia and plans to call at the Red House that very afternoon. It is the first that Mark's friends and servants have heard of a brother, but that shock is nothing compared to what happens next: After being shown into an empty office to wait for the master of the house, Robert is shot dead. Mark is nowhere to be found, not unlike the pistol that fired the fatal bullet. It is up to Tony Gillingham, man of leisure, and his young friend Bill Beverley to assume the roles of Sherlock and Watson and solve a crime so clever that Alexander Woollcott pronounced it "one of the three best mystery stories of all time."
Beloved children's author A. A. Milne was a great fan of detective stories. His first and last attempt at the genre is an absolute delight—one of the most original and charming novels of the Golden Age of crime fiction.
