where mums and daughters love,<br />
comfort and support. Hello Danielle<br />
Steel. The Affair revolves around a family<br />
of successful women (typical DS …<br />
it’s all designers and TV stars, a fashion<br />
magazine editor and a court judge) …<br />
and life’s perfect and glam. Until one is<br />
heartbroken and humiliated when news<br />
of her husband’s affair is splashed over<br />
the pages of the newspaper. Mum and<br />
daughters come together to heal …<br />
and all five realise family is what matters<br />
most in life. • You’ve seen the series on<br />
Netflix … Kristin Hannah’s Firefly Lane<br />
kicks off in the early 1970s, when an<br />
unlikely friendship is formed between<br />
two girls, one that lasts through 30 years.<br />
They’ve been through a lot, but one act<br />
of betrayal may be the hurdle that tears<br />
them apart. Read it, then share with your<br />
best friend.<br />
Oh, joy! A new JD Robb. Not so joyful<br />
for successful young sculptor Arial<br />
Bryd, who’s found murdered in her<br />
studio. At first glance, it looks to Lt<br />
Eve Dallas and her partner, the lovely,<br />
wacky Peabody, to be the outcome<br />
of an argument with a jealous<br />
partner but it soon becomes clear<br />
that there is much more to this case<br />
than a lovers’ quarrel turned fatal.<br />
White supremacy, misogyny and<br />
religious fanaticism … Eve and her<br />
team delve into the dark world of a<br />
secret order … and find more than<br />
just Arial’s murderer. We love this<br />
series … and Faithless in Death’s<br />
the latest bestseller.<br />
Twelve years is a long time to wait<br />
when you’re planning the perfect<br />
revenge. A dozen years after her<br />
best friend died under mysterious<br />
circumstances, Lizzie finally feels she<br />
can move on. At the time, Alice’s<br />
friends and family suspected Lizzie<br />
played a part in her death. She was,<br />
after all, with Alice when she died. But<br />
Lizzie has no memory of the accident<br />
… all she knows is she would never<br />
have hurt her. Now moving into a<br />
new home with her fiancé, she’s going<br />
to get on with her life. But someone<br />
has other ideas! Lesley Kara’s The<br />
Dare is another stay-up-all-nighter …<br />
brilliantly thrilling.<br />
Natalie is called to jury duty and she,<br />
along with 11 others, need to decide<br />
if a young man accused of a crime<br />
is guilty. The verdict, eventually, is<br />
not guilty. And although Natalie<br />
was foreman, and pushed for the<br />
decision, she’s not convinced it<br />
was correct. And when she bumps<br />
into the accused at a store one day,<br />
she decides to investigate further.<br />
CJ Cooper’s The Verdict is a dark<br />
thriller, with a good twist, but neither<br />
Natalie nor the accused are likeable<br />
characters … she’s deeply unhappy,<br />
bitter and vengeful, he’s deceitful …<br />
you can’t help but feel they deserve<br />
everything they get.<br />
