*THE SWEDISH GIRL by Alex Gray<br />

Crime | 352pp | Sphere | March 2013 | Korea -- | Japan: EAJ<br />

Kirsty Wilson can‟t believe her luck when she finds a room in a luxury student flat in Glasgow to share with the<br />

beautiful Candice Salvesson, a wealthy student from Stockholm, and three young male housemates. But the<br />

initial delight turns to horror when Kirsty finds the Swedish girl lying dead in their home and Colin, one of the<br />

flatmates, accused of her murder and taken to prison. Kirsty refuses to accept that Colin is capable of murder<br />

and, inspired by Detective Inspector Lorimer, she sets out to clear his name. Colin copes with prison life by<br />

submerging himself in his writing, especially after a visit from Kirsty and Professor Solomon Brightman when Solly<br />

asks him to write down all he can about his relationship with Candy. Thus begins his treatise on „The Swedish<br />

Girl‟. Is it a fantasy produced from a fevered imagination or is Colin‟s shocking tale the real truth behind the<br />

image of the demure, sophisticated girl from Stockholm? As the story unfolds and Candy‟s dramatic past is<br />

revealed, Lorimer and his team have to hunt down a killer in the neighbourhood who is targeting young<br />

blonde women who bear an uncanny physical resemblance to the Swedish girl. Alex Gray was born and<br />

educated in Glasgow. She has been awarded the Scottish Association of Writers' Constable and Pitlochry<br />

trophies for her crime writing, and is the Scottish Chapter convenor for the Crime Writers' Association.<br />

IT HAPPENED IN VENICE by Molly Hopkins<br />

When your heart is broken, there’s only one place to go…<br />

Evie has a handsome fiancé who loves her unconditionally, and a fantastic job that takes her<br />

to fashionable Dublin, in-vogue Marrakech, cool Amsterdam and romantic Paris. But at home<br />

Evie is driven to despair: her fiancé hates her job and her flatmate hates her fiancé. And<br />

when an unexpected event strikes the epicentre of her happiness, Evie is driven to gin and<br />

tonic. If she doesn‟t sort herself out, her liver and her bank manager will hate her. So when<br />

she‟s offered a luxury trip to the sensual city of Venice, with its shifting silver canals and rose<br />

and vanilla hued architecture, Evie jumps at the chance. Four days in the city of light and<br />

love is exactly what she needs. The sumptuous Grand Hotel, the gondolas, the wine, the<br />

Italian men . . . But within hours of Evie‟s arrival, her life is poised to change for ever. Not even<br />

Evie herself could‟ve predicted what would happen in Venice. Molly Hopkins was lucky (or<br />

mad) enough to work as a tour guide on the European coach circuit for over fifteen years.<br />

She visited Paris, Amsterdam, The Loire Valley and many other fabulous. She is the author of IT<br />
