Nine Lives by Danielle Steel
Nearly a billion copies of Danielle Steel’s novels have been sold which puts her right up there as one of the world’s most popular authors. Her latest release, Nine Lives, is the story of love lost and new beginnings, of daredevil men and adventurous women. It’s all broken hearts and danger and courage and love … as Danielle does so well. MacMillan
The Prince of the Skies by Antonio Iturbe
Antonio Iturbe thrilled us with The Librarian of Auschwitz, and his second book, The Prince of the Skies, is an equally beautifully written, powerful historical novel. Based on a true story, and like his first book, set in World War II, it’s about the life and mysterious death of Antoine De Saint-Exupéry, the author of the children’s classic The Little Prince. More than a writer … Antoine was also a romantic, a pilot, a hero, and this book just soars. Brilliant. PanMacmillan
The Trust by Ronald H Balson
A family feud, a murder, a funeral … and a secret. Ronald H Balson has written a cracking novel, combining history and mystery in The Trust. Set in Northern Island, it revolves around Liam Taggart, who left his home town, swearing never to return. But his uncle’s death means he needs to go back for the funeral, and he finds out that the old man had somehow anticipated his murder, and the estate has been left in a secret trust, with no-one inheriting anything until his killer is found. Liam is the trustee … a post that sees him step into a firestorm. Conflict, anger, despair, love … The Trust has it all, and more. A great read. St Martin’s Griffin
