Maeve Binchy
This Year It Will Be Different
Filled with Maeve Binchy's trademark wit and true storytelling genius, This Year It Will Be Different is a collection of stories which powerfully evokes the lives of wives, husbands, children, friends and lovers, all set during the one holiday when feelings cannot easily be hidden. There are step-families grappling with exes; long-married couples faced with in-law problems; a wandering husband choosing between the other woman and his wife; a child caught up in a grown-up tug-of-war ... The festive season may be magical, but it can also
be a time of family difficulties, a time to reflect on relationships; a time of change.
'Warm, witty and with a deep understanding of what makes us tick, it's little wonder that Maeve Binchy's bewitching stories have become world-beaters' - OK Magazine
'Reading Maeve Binchy has always acted as therapy of a sort. Her witty, literate small-town tales exude a rosy glow to ease the troubled mind' - The Times

Oscar Wilde & the Candlelight Murders
When Oscar Wilde chances across the naked corpse of sixteen-year-old Billy Wood, posed by candlelight in a dark attic room, he cannot ignore the brutal murder. With the help of fellow author Arthur Conan Doyle he sets out to solve the crime - but it is Wilde's unparalleled access to all degrees of late-Victorian life, from society drawing rooms and the bohemian demi-monde, to the underclass, that will prove the decisive factor in their investigation of what turns out to be a series of brutal killings.
Set against the exotic background of fin-de-siècle London, Paris, Oxford and Edinburgh, Oscar Wilde and the Candelight Murders is the first in a series of classic English murder mysteries in the tradition of Conan Doyle and Dorothy L. Sayers.
