Location: FIC HUN

Genre: Mystery, Thriller


What a format- this book is so weirdly cool!

Nilufer - one of my favourite Goodreads reviewers raves about this one...

My mind! My gray cells! Quick correction: my last remaining gray cells! It took me a day to gather my thoughts after reaching the end of this book, and even now, a day later, I am still rendered speechless. No words I can conjure adequately express my heightened emotions, immense admiration, awe, and adoration for Cara Hunter's true masterpiece!

Twenty years ago Luke Ryder was killed in the garden of his upmarket London home - no one was ever prosecuted. Now, his stepson, TV director Guy Howard, decides to revisit that fateful night in the form of a six part docu-drama as part of a Netflix true crime series.

The investigation and evidence is presented in the form of text messages, emails and old newspaper clippings, together with specialists sifting through the material, debating each and every point, and though complex, it was fascinating the way one thing led to another, until finally we get to the truth.

This book had me riveted to the page. It is original, inventive and totally 21st Century… Just brilliant!’ Janice Hallett,‘

The attention to detail is incredible, and following along is so. Much. FUN.’ Catherine Ryan Howard


‘This devilishly clever, ground-breaking novel will keep you guessing as you fly through its pages’ Ian Rankin

I love stories like this for our students! Check out her Facebook page- it is inspirational; https://www.facebook.com/ChloeAdventurer/ The real-life adventures of a young woman pushing the limits, trusting her instincts and living her life off the beaten path Suffering through searing pain and delirious illness in frigid, makeshift conditions, Chloe Phillips-Harris, at the age of 25 years, summoned every ounce of determination to brave the world's most gruelling horse race - the Mongol Derby. This 1000-kilometre endurance race across the wild steppes, desert and mountains of Mongolia - a competition with no marked course, no support team, that requires riders to switch horses every 40 km - saw almost half the competitors drop out along the way, but Chloe persevered.

 By: Kelsey Rodkey Location: FIC ROD Genre: Young Adult Romance Fans of Elise Bryant and Rachel Lynn Solomon will swoon for Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey’s next romance, packed with snark, banter, and inconvenient crushes. Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around? —turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie. There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does every m
