Babes in the wood, babes in the wood, who will be next to be covered in blood?

For generations, the children of Rowandale have recited these words, but now they are becoming an all too disturbing reality....

After the last known member of the Latimer family dies, his estate is put up for sale - except for the prized stables, inherited by racehorse trainer Barbara Lewis.

When Barbara's estranged husband is murdered, she becomes the prime suspect and appeals to Adam Bailey and her friend, Eve Samuels, for help. But as they investigate, more people are killed and soon Barbara and Eve find themselves in grave danger.

As the clock ticks, Adam races to rescue them. Can justice prevail, or will the grim prophecy of the rhyme come true again?

The Kaiser's Gold is the second instalment in Bill Kitson's chilling and suspenseful Eden House mystery series. Perfect for fans of Peter James' Cold Hill series, Val McDermid and J. M. Dalgliesh.

But Why? covers a wide range of topics including bodies, bullying, mental health, sexuality, money and social media.

It's a book that aims to help parents tackle those awkward questions that can floor the best of us. Imagine the scene: you're trying to put the kids to bed, your brain has checked out for the day and suddenly, from nowhere, all manner of unrelated but potentially important questions are flung into the night-time routine as you're trying to get them to brush their teeth properly:

But why are parents ruining the planet?

But why don't boys wear dresses?

But why do people get married?

But why do we have feelings?

But why don't I look like everyone else?

But why do you have to work?

With a foreword by leading Psychotherapist Anna Mathur (author of Mind over Mother) this book is informed by a huge, varied body of research. Including conversations with experts via Clemmie's popular Honestly Podcast, the insight of 300-plus contributors to Clemmie's blog Mother of All Lists, bravely sharing first-hand accounts, and of course Clemmie's own experience as a mother of three.

Clemmie describes this book as an 'existential crisis' which found her challenging everything she thought she knew about everything (but in a good way).

It can't promise definitive answers, but it will give you a wealth of ideas to draw upon, along with tips on how to explore the topics mindfully, pointers on where to seek more information and, perhaps most importantly, a reminder of what you absolutely should avoid saying to your kids even if you are knackered or have been caught off-guard.

Clemmie says 'I hope the book will act as a catalyst for our own thoughts on a range of subjects, giving us the opportunity to have honest conversations with ourselves about important topics such as race, gender, sexuality, politics and religion'.

A heartbreakingly beautiful novel, The Memory Box unlocks an unforgettable epic story of love and war, from the million-copy-selling author of The Letter, Kathryn Hughes. If you adored The Nightingale, The Tuscan Contessa or My Name is Eva, this is the book for you.

Some love stories can't be forgotten...

Jenny Tanner opens the box she has cherished for decades. Contained within are her most precious mementoes, amongst them a pebble, a carving and a newspaper cutting she can hardly bear to read. But Jenny knows the time is finally here. After the war, in a mountainside village in Italy, she left behind a piece of her heart. However painful, she must return to Cinque Alberi. And lay the past to rest.

After a troubled upbringing, Candice Barnes dreams of a future with the love of her life - but is he the man she believes him to be? When Candice is given the opportunity to travel to Italy with Jenny, she is unaware the trip will open her eyes to the truth she's been too afraid to face. Could a place of goodbyes help her make a brave new beginning?
