Good morning everyone. Today on Two For Tuesday I thought I’d share the first books I’ve bought from Rossiter abusing my staff discount.
I actually ordered these in for myself as I’ve been wanting to read them for ages. Gytha Lodge is a favourite author of mine so I’m always excited to read her books. Our Hidden Progeny is a book I’ve seen lots of great reviews for which made me very intrigued and I knew I had to get a copy.
Yesterday we had a great opening day for Rossiter books in Malvern. It was so amazing to see so many people coming in the door, especially all the enthusiastic younger readers which I loved to see. It was especially nice to see so many familiar faces so thanks to everyone who came and said hi.
Have you read either of these?
A Killer In The Family by Gytha Lodge
Someone in your family isn’t who they say they are . . . THE PAGE-TURNING NEW THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SHE LIES IN WAIT
Aisling’s two sons, Ethan and Finn, mean everything to her.
Ever since becoming estranged from her own parents, though, she’s always felt like a piece of her is missing.
Desperate to find answers – about her family, and herself – Aisling uploads her DNA to an ancestry website, and is thrilled when it finds a match.
But instead of finding answers, she comes face to face with a detective. Aisling’s DNA is a match for a recent crime scene – the latest in a string of murders by a dangerous serial killer, known as ‘the bonfire killer’. And the police have three lead suspects: her father, or one of her two sons.
Aisling would do anything for her family – but can she protect a killer?
Our Hidden Progeny by C. E. McGill
Mary is the great-niece of Victor Frankenstein. She knows her great uncle disappeared in mysterious circumstances in the Arctic but she doesn’t know why or how…
The 1850s is a time of discovery and London is ablaze with the latest scientific theories and debates, especially when a spectacular new exhibition of dinosaur sculptures opens at the Crystal Palace. Mary, with a sharp mind and a sharper tongue, is keen to make her name in this world of science, alongside her geologist husband Henry, but without wealth and connections, their options are limited.
But when Mary discovers some old family papers that allude to the shocking truth behind her great-uncle’s past, she thinks she may have found the key to securing their future… Their quest takes them to the wilds of Scotland, to Henry’s intriguing but reclusive sister Maisie, and to a deadly chase with a rival who is out to steal their secret…
