What if your mother had been writing to a serial killer? A convicted murderer<br />

with a story to tell. Serial killer Michael Reave – known as The Red Wolf – has<br />

been locked in Belmarsh Prison for over 20 years for the brutal and ritualistic<br />

murders of countless women. When ex-journalist Heather Evans returns to<br />

her childhood home after her mother’s inexplicable suicide, she discovers<br />

something chilling … hundreds of letters between her mother and Reave,<br />

dating back decades. When the body of a woman is found decorated with<br />

flowers, just like Michael’s victims, Reave is the only person alive who could help.<br />

After years of silence, he will speak to Heather, and only Heather. If she wants to<br />

unearth the truth and stop further bloodshed, she’ll have to confront a monster.<br />

Dog Rose Dirt by Jen Williams is a chilling read … could well be the thriller<br />

of the month! HarperCollins, available at exclusivebooks.co.za • Oh ... we love a<br />

Sinéad Moriarty read. Always laugh-out-loud funny, keep-the-tissues on hand<br />

heartbreakingly real. About Us revolves around three couples, all at different<br />

stages of their lives. The couple who thought retirement would be their second<br />

spring; instead it’s an icy winter. The pair who were lovers, best friends, parents<br />

... in that order; now never mind being on the same page, they’re not even<br />

reading from the same book. And the couple who’re newly falling in love but<br />

her complicated past makes her unsure if she can have an intimate relationship.<br />

The perfect holiday read. Penguin, available at exclusivebooks.co.za<br />

Fun. Fruity. Fresh. Everything you want, then, for a festive sparkle. This Steenberg<br />

Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc is light and smooth, but has a zippy acidity to lift<br />

the tropical flavours of pineapple, pear and guava. A fresh brightness rounds off<br />

a delicious and refreshing sparkling wine, a perfect drink for a hot summer’s day.<br />
