The President of the US is up for re-election. And her husband\u2019s on trial for murder.

The targeted murder of four police officers is only the tip of the iceberg in Mark Billingham\u2019s What The Night Brings.<\/strong> Someone\u2019s got it in for the police, and as detectives Tom Thorne and Nicola Tanner dig into the reasons for the violence that\u2019s leaving police scared, angry and vengeful – it appears there must be help coming from the inside. One of the best Tom Thorne novels yet. Sphere<\/em><\/p>\n

Danielle Steel fans are in for a double treat. A Mind of Her Own<\/strong>, set in Paris in 1900, is a powerful historical drama about a young woman, who after the First World War erupts across Europe coupled with the fast-spreading Spanish Flu, travels to America to fight for a new life. In A Mother\u2019s Love<\/strong>, a recently widowed best-selling author and mother of two girls, decides to spend her first Christmas and New Year alone in Paris, where a crime reminds her of her traumatic childhood. But as with all Danielle Steel heroines, she\u2019s determined to face her past and no longer be controlled by threats, and learns that she\u2019s stronger than she ever knew. MacMillan<\/em><\/p>\n

You think it\u2019ll never happen to you. The ring of the doorbell. The policeman. \u201cI\u2019m afraid …\u201d. And Sally Lambert is afraid. And is prepared, it appears, to be desperate enough to consider the unthinkable to protect the one she loves. It\u2019s all neighbour against neighbour and murder and twists and a last line to leave you gasping! Sophie Hannah\u2019s No One Would Do What The Lamberts Have Done<\/strong> is funny, a little bit silly, and nothing like what you expect! Bedford Square Publishers<\/em><\/p>\n
