Mothers. Daughters. And a handful of thrilling reads.
500 pages of pure adrenalin rush ... if you like thrillers that keep you guessing,
you’re going to love Lindwood Barclay’s Find You First. The possible heirs of a
tech billionaire, who’s recently discovered he has a terminal illness, are being
killed off one by one. With enough twists and turns to make you giddy, red
herrings to keep you on your toes and a killer twist in the tale, this is our thriller of
the month. Could not put it down! • She wanted a child, so she took one. Call Me
Mummy (another debut novel, this one by Tina Baker) kicks off as Mummy – a
glamorous, uptight woman who has everything except a child, kidnaps
five-year-old Tonya (Mummy’ll have to change that name, so common). But
Tonya’s not the perfect child Mummy was expecting … in fact, she’s a
foul-mouthed mini version of her real mum, Kim, who’s been labelled ‘scummy
mummy’ by the media, and thinks she deserves to have her other children
removed from her care too. Thrilling, harrowing, bleak … and unputdownable.

Glen Carlou Gravel Quarry Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
is a sophisticated and powerful wine ... all layers of ripe
blackcurrants, dark berries, dark chocolate and hints of
bramble and cedar. It’s full and complex ... like a few of the
books on this page. You’ll find it for R440 at glencarlou.com
