New Releases…
• Death at the Sign of the Rook by Kate Atkinson
Jackson Brodie returns in another masterfully constructed literary thriller from Kate Atkinson, as the conventions of cosy crime are wryly upended when a snowstorm maroons a group of murder mystery archetypes in a crumbling country house.
• Eighteen by Alice Loxton
From Geoffrey Chaucer to Richard Burton, Loxton's effervescent volume captures eighteen famous individuals at eighteen years old to paint a striking picture of the vivacity of youth.
• Heart, Be at Peace by Donal Ryan
A companion piece to Ryan's modern classic The Spinning Heart, this characteristically eloquent and emotionally acute novel focuses on the tribulations of a rural Irish town through the prism of twenty-one distinct voices.
