FOR ALL YOUR ENDEAVOURS
David Sharp
For All Your Endeavours transports readers to the idyllic Dartmoor countryside, where the discovery of a supposed ‘bog body’ sparks a complex investigation into a twenty-year-old murder case.
Drawing upon the beautifully eerie setting of his home in Dartmoor, David Sharp artfully brings to life the rich setting of his tense and moving thriller, as well as exploring the challenges autistic individuals face in work and in life through his protagonist DI Lancaster, whose different way of thinking is a valuable asset to the case.
As his two detectives attempt to unravel a tangled web of family secrets and forbidden relationships, they travel from atmospheric Dartmoor, through bustling London, to the picturesque villages of the south of France, undertaking an extensive journey in search of justice.
DREAM WALKER – SOMEWHERE BETWEEN REALM AND REALITY
Bruce Marin
Dream Walker: Somewhere Between Realm and Reality is the first in a series of novels following the extraordinary life of Alison Wilde. Dragged into a world not entirely unfamiliar, she is confronted by many unknowns as her assumptions about Wonderland are torn down by the darker realities of the Netherworld. Much to her surprise, and horror, Alison soon learns that she holds the key to saving Earth, by protecting this strange reality.
With an eclectic mix of characters, including a host of fantastical creatures alongside the authors own re-imaginings of the Mad Hatter, Rabbit, and the Queen of Hearts, this dark and twisted novel explores a world divided; contentiously at peace as mythological creatures, powerful rulers, and everything in between cloy for more power.
Debut author Bruce Martin artfully leads readers through this twisted fantasy realm, whilst touching on emotive issues such as depression and anxiety, allowing readers to resonate and empathise with his characters, despite the eccentric and gothic world they explore and inhabit. Drawing upon his own personal struggles, he paints a dark yet touching tale of magic and unknown realities.
SWEET WATER
Lanie Vladimirov
Sweet Water follows Chiara as her already challenging life is further knocked by becoming a vampire, a creature she wasn’t aware existed. In her search for freedom and purpose she travels to Paris where she meets her soulmate – but in her pursuit of self-discovery, will something emerging from their connected pasts ruin the new life she has built?
Artfully showcasing and representing the struggles experienced by modern women, and displaying strong, inspiring female characters, debut author Lanie Vladimirov draws upon her study of psychology as well as her own experiences with mental health issues to create an empowering and emotive narrative, balancing heart wrenching pathos with quick witted humour as catharsis.
Sweet Water is the perfect novel for romantasy fans, drawing attention to the beauty and magic of the mundane through a complex and fantastical relationship, and leading readers through the trials and tribulations of opening up one’s heart to self-love, sisterhood, and romantic love.
BODY OVERBOARD
Russell Wate
Body Overboard is the fourth instalment in the DCI McFarlane series, written by former homicide detective Russell Wate. This time, DCI McFarlane and DS Juliet Ashton fly to Barbados, to help local police investigate the disappearance of a famous actress, from a yacht moored off the coast.
As they attempt to handle the worldwide media storm engulfing the case, the investigation takes many twists and turns, providing an authentic crime mystery and police procedural that will leave readers hooked, eagerly anticipating every chapter as the detectives attempt to uncover the truth.
With strong echoes of the Natalie Wood-Robert Wagner case, and other recent high-profile cases where a body is suspected to have been lost to the water, Wate draws upon his own experience as a homicide investigator to create an accurate depiction of an investigation, whilst continuing the story of his popular detective DCI McFarlane.
