E lie is perfectly happy, living a quiet life with her husband, Clive.<br />
We l, she does sometimes wonder abou the way he talks to her,<br />
and about a l the things she hasn’t yet achieved. But she’s happy<br />
enough. Dan is definitely content. He has a predictable, ordered<br />
existence, making harps in his isolated barn on Exmoor, and he’s<br />
more than happy being on his own, far away from other people<br />
and, crucia ly, far away from any risk of surprises. Then a chance<br />
meeting changes everything. E lie and the Harp Maker is an<br />
enchanting, endearing story . perfect for a lazy afternoon read.<br />
R195. • When Katie Straw’s body is pu led from the waters of the<br />
local suicide spot, the police decide it’s an open-and-shut case.<br />
A standard-issue female suicide. But the residents of Widringham<br />
women’s refuge, where Katie worked, don’t agree. They say it’s<br />
murder. Jessica Moor’s Keeper is a feminis thri ler that asks what<br />
justice looks like in a system blinkered by prejudice, a literary<br />
page-turner about a crime as shocking as it is commonplace.<br />
R290 • One son lied. One son died. Alice’s son is dead. Indigo’s<br />
son is accused of murder. But Indigo is determined to prove her<br />
beloved Kane is innocent. Searching for evidence, she’s helped<br />
by a kind stranger who takes an interest in her situation. Little<br />
does she know that her new friend, Alice, has her own agenda.<br />
Alice obviously can’ te l Indigo who she rea ly is, but she wants to<br />
understand why her son was ki led, and she needs to make sure<br />
that Indigo’s efforts to free Kane don’t put he remaining family at<br />
risk. But how long wi l i take for Indigo to discover her identity? And what other secrets will<br />
l<br />
come out as she digs deeper? No one knows a son like his mother. But neither Alice nor<br />
Indigo know the whole truth about their boys, and what happened between them on that<br />
fateful night. Emily Koch’s Keep Him Close is a great psychological thri ler about love, hate<br />
and forgiveness. R290. • Micah Mortimer isn’ the most polished person you’ l ever meet.<br />
He measures out his days running errands for work, maintaining an impeccable cleaning<br />
regime and going fo runs (7.15, every morning). He’s content with the steady balance of<br />
his life. Bu then the order of things starts to tilt. His woman friend Cassia (he refuses to call<br />
l<br />
anyone in her late thirties a ‘girlfriend’) tells ls him she’s facing eviction because of a cat. Then<br />
a teenager shows up at Micah’s door claiming to be his son, a surprise Micah seems poorly<br />
equipped to handle. Redhead by the Side of the Road is an intimate look into the heart<br />
and mind of a man who sometimes finds those around him just out of reach – and a love<br />
story about the differences that make us a l unique. R290.<br />

of Dalgona coffee. Picture perfect, it’s also amazingly easy to<br />
make. It’s fluffy and delicious, and you can enjoy it hot or cold. A l<br />

coffee, granulated sugar (we like brown, but you can use white)<br />
and boiling water into a sma l bowl. Whip with a whisk or hand<br />
mixer until foamy, thick and fudgy in colour. With an electric<br />
whisk, this took us two minutes. Then pour your hot or cold milk<br />
into a glass until three-quarters fu l, spoon the whipped coffee<br />
on top, (take your Instagram photo now), then stir vigorously<br />
through the milk. Top hint: if you’ve got children, do the same<br />
with Milo. It’s bri liant. Just whip four tablespoons of Milo with<br />
four tablespoons of cream, then pour onto of a mug of hot milk<br />
