Half a dozen thrilling reads for <strong>Sep</strong>tember<br />
‘It was a good day to be free of prison.’ So begins David Baldacci’s One Good Deed<br />
... his latest release which, as always, keeps readers’ adrenalin running high. When<br />
Aloysius Archer gets out of prison, he heads for Poca City, with just the clothes he’s<br />
wearing and an appointment with his parole officer. A chance meeting sees him<br />
offered a job as a debt collector - but all’s not above board, and if Aloysius wants to<br />
avoid heading back behind bars, he’s got his work cut out for him. Macmillan, R299.<br />
• A new home in the suburbs offers a fresh start to a family of four. It’s in a quiet,<br />
leafy road, with good schools, and is close to the sea and a comfortable commute<br />
to London. Perfect. All bar the fact that it appears to be the hunting ground for<br />
a serial killer. Fiona Cummins’ The Neighbour is as thrilling as it gets. Macmillan,<br />
R290 • Blood in the Water by Jack Flynn is set in Boston’s underworld, where the<br />
harbour chief, his 19-year-old daughter and a homeland security agent are caught<br />
up in a deadly game of cat and mouse with international terrorists. Macmillan, R299<br />
Tom Kennedy and his young son, Jake,<br />
have just moved to a quiet village,<br />
hoping to heal the hurt after the loss<br />
of their wife and mum. The place they<br />
choose to live, Featherbank, has a dark<br />
past ... 15 years before, a serial killer,<br />
known as The Whisper Man, abducted<br />
and murdered five young boys.<br />
The killer was caught, and this history<br />
doesn’t worry Tom and Jake. Until another<br />
boy goes missing. And Jake says<br />
he hears whispering at his window.<br />
Described as gripping, moving and<br />
brilliantly creepy ... an outstanding new<br />
psychological thriller. Penguin, R290<br />
In a large house in London’s fashionable<br />
Chelsea, a baby is awake in her cot.<br />
Well-fed and cared for, she’s happily<br />
waiting for someone to pick her up.<br />
In the kitchen lie three decomposing<br />
corpses, with a hastily scrawled note.<br />
The three have been dead for several<br />
days. So who’s looking after the baby?<br />
There’s little better than finding a new<br />
Lisa Jewell book on the shelves ... The<br />
Family Upstairs is just FABULOUS.<br />
Penguin, R290<br />
Also look out for ...<br />
Daisy and Simon’s marriage is great,<br />
particularly after the arrival of longedfor<br />
daughter Millie. A happy little family<br />
of three. So what if Simon drinks a bit<br />
too much every now and then ... as<br />
Daisy says, he’s just letting off steam.<br />
Then one night at a party, things spiral<br />
horribly out of control ... Adele Parks’<br />
Lies Lies Lies is all about relationships,<br />
marriage and secrets. A great read.<br />
Harper Collins, R305<br />
