September Book Choice
Eyes On You
by Adele Parks

AUTHOR ON AIR INTERVIEW ON BROOKLANDS RADIO COMING 10 SEPTEMBER 2PM

Be afraid. Someone’s watching.

At fifteen, Amy witnessed her father brutally murder his secret lover. Her testimony sealed her father’s fate. With him in prison, Amy and her mother must rebuild their lives in the shadow of a notorious crime.

Years later, Oliver Harrington walks into the restaurant where Amy works. Just like Amy, Oliver has a past he’d rather forget. Amy is drawn to him at a profound level; they feel a connection, an understanding…

This seems a lot like love, but does it hide something darker – an obsession that could lead Amy into a web of deception and violence she thought she’d escaped? As the truth looms ever closer, Amy must confront a harsh reality: where there is love, there is often betrayal.

Prepare to be gripped by the brand-new, wickedly addictive thriller from Number One bestseller Adele Parks, perfect for fans of The Housemaid

Elizabeth Day
One of Us

In this compulsive story of betrayal, old bonds and buried scandals, one British establishment family comes face to face with the consequences of privilege and the true cost of power.

Martin and Ben were friends for decades — best friends, Martin would have said — before the terrible events at Ben’s 40th birthday party tore them apart. So when Martin receives a surprise invitation back into the inner sanctum of the dazzling Fitzmaurice family after seven years of silence, he can’t resist the chance to get his revenge.

Loss: The New Collection: Words to weather the many waves of grief

Losing someone casts us adrift in a lonely sea of grief, one that can be hard to navigate and is frequently overwhelming. Donna's wise words help us feel less alone on even the hardest of days, and bring comfort and understanding. She also gently reminds us that love and grief are two sides of the same coin, and that great grief is born only of great love.
