Death Comes
To Pemberley
PD James
PB $29.99
The Darcys and their
guests are preparing to
retire for the night when
a chaise appears and as it
pulls up, Lydia Wickham,
an uninvited guest,
tumbles out, screaming
that her husband has
been murdered. In a
pitch-perfect recreation of the world of Pride and
Prejudice, P.D. James elegantly fuses her lifelong
passion for the work of Jane Austen with her talent
for writing detective fiction.
Cooking The Books
Kerry Greenwood

Corinna Chapman,
talented baker and
reluctant investigator, is
trying very hard to do
nothing at all on her
holidays. It should be a
time of quiet reflection
for Corinna, but quiet
reflection doesn’t seem
to suit her – she’s bored.
Scenting a whiff of danger, Corinna accepts an offer
from a caterer friend to do the baking for the film
set of a new soap. Twists and turns and
complications that could only happen to her ensue.

Harry Bosch has been
given three years before
he must retire from the
LAPD and he wants cases
more fiercely than ever. In

Relentlessly pursuing

killer operating unknown
in the city for as many as three decades and a
political conspiracy that goes back into the dark
history of the police department.
The Impossible Dead

Malcolm Fox and his
team from Internal Affairs
have been sent to Fife to
investigate whether
fellow cops covered up

intimations of conspiracy
and cover-up – and a brutal murder. Malcolm Fox
returns in the stunning second novel in Ian
Rankin’s new series.
The House Of Silk
Anthony Horowitz
PB $32.99
Here is the first official
“new” Sherlock Holmes
mystery, written by global
bestselling novelist and
Holmes expert Anthony
Horowitz. As the creator
of Foyle’s War, Horowitz

he was the perfect choice to return to the original
stories and create a new mystery for Holmes and
Watson.
