LMR Review:

Subtle, sinister, urgent and captivating. An intelligent thriller which makes you care deeply about its characters, their fate and the mystery that surrounds them. Top notch suspense.

This witty, beautiful and moving novel is absolutely bursting with love. Whether devoured in an afternoon or savoured over a month, it’s heady, gorgeous and romantic.

LMR review

Reading this book feels like a mini-break to France; like meeting long-lost family and basking in sunshine. It’s moving, it’s funny and oh-so lovely.

Leave The world Behind

Rumaan Alam

Fiction

A magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong Amanda and Clay head to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a holiday: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they've rented for the week. But with a late-night knock on the door, the spell is broken. Ruth and G. H., an older couple who claim to own the home, have arrived there in a panic.

LMR Review:

It’s little surprise that this brilliant book has already been optioned for a huge Netflix production starring Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts. The writing is vivid and astonishingly observant as a dystopian reality rolls out before the reader. The bizarre and terrifying world that emerges, is one that leaves us gripped to find out what happens next. Rumaan handles race, sex, politics and relationships with pinpoint accuracy in this truly (but wonderfully) nightmarish book.

Back To Nature

Chris Packham

Non-Fiction

One thing has become clear this year - we need nature more than ever. And although the natural world has never been more under pressure, there are still reasons to be hopeful.

Through personal stories, conservation breakthroughs and fascinating scientific discoveries, Back to Nature captures the essence of how we feel about the wildlife outside our windows. From the resurgence of storks in Britain to lesser horseshoe bats returning to the Isle of Man, to what we can do to encourage wildlife into our own spaces, whether that's a woodland, a garden, a balcony or our streets, it explores the wonder and the solace of nature, and the ways in which we can connect with it.

LMR review


Packham’s absolute, boyish and joyous passion for nature bursts through every page in this delightful and important book. He and Megan McCubin bring facts to the table in a way that’s reassuring rather than obtrusive; bring positivity to the conversation about conservation and manage to paint a picture of the enormity of the difference every individual can make. It’s a joy to read for its love of nature and an important read for its ability to make an activist of us all.

Murder On Mustique

Anne Glenconner

Special Pick

This is a fabulously escapist murder mystery set on the private Caribbean island once frequented by Princess Margaret. Utterly compelling and so stunningly written you can smell the ocean, hear the cicadas and taste the vodka martinis.

When Amanda Fortini, the island’s starlet, goes missing, Lady Vee steps in to help solve the case. But unravelling the clues scattered around the island threaten to ruin everything she holds dear…

LMR review

This is a page turner and murder mystery of simply spectacular quality. I read this book in an afternoon and felt like I’d escaped to the Caribbean for a fortnight’s holiday. Perfect.
