This is the final in the series and not to be missed - the team get chatty about love, terror, and an American family in Hitler’s Berlin.
A horrifying crime. Water-tight evidence points to a single suspect. Except he was seventy miles away, with an iron-clad alibi. Detective Anderson sets out to investigate the impossible: how can the suspect have been both at the scene of the crime and in another town?
We chat all about The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge - a feminist gothic read.
The team get chatty about a classic. A modern retelling of Shakespeare against the background of a prison, Margaret Atwood's 'Hagseed' sees The Tempest played by hardened criminals with lots of drama and intrigue thrown in to boot.
If you could change your destiny anytime you wanted, how would you commit to a future? The team discuss 'Ida', by Alison Evans. If you're into speculative fantasy then you're gonna love this one!
This month we discuss 'Solar Bones' by Mike McCormack. Widely celebrated, the Irish novel was long listed for the 2017 Man Booker Prize, and winner of the Goldsmiths Prize, along with many other accolades. This was our most polarising read yet.
