This week’s new fiction: Camilla Barnes feels The Usual Desire to Kill in her perfectly observed debut novel. Kate Lord Brown’s beautiful historical novel, The Golden Hour. Big Chief from Jon Hickey is a gripping account of a fiercely fought native American election. An all-new special edition of Wildfire by Hannah Grace.

C.B. Everett’s thrilling The Other People traps ten people in a house and picks them off one by one. Temperance Brennan returns in Fire and Bones by Kathy Reichs. Now in PB: Gabriel Smith’s skin peels off in his debut novel, Brat. We Were Girls Once is a gorgeous story of friendship and sisterhood from Aiwanose Odagen. And Susanna Kearsley brings courtly rivalry and intrigue to The King’s Messenger.

This week’s new non-fiction: How to be a Bad Botanist from Simon Barnes is a *ahem* down to earth introduction to plant life for anyone who’s been outside recently and wishes they could do more than say ‘that’s a daffodil’.

Excited to announce that @KathyBurke A MIND OF MY OWN will be out on 23 October!

Whether you know her as the beloved Perry, for her award-winning acting, or for being proudly woke and calling out tw*ts on social media, Kathy has always had a mind of her own. Funny and wise, this is her memoir.
