If you like what you read, you can book tickets to hear the authors speak at the Cranbrook Literature Festival on 13 and 14 October (www.cranbrookliteraturefestival. com). Two Women in Rome by Elizabeth Buchan This is a beautifully atmospheric new tale from the prizewinning, best-selling novelist Elizabeth Buchan. Lottie Archer arrives in Rome newly married, excited and ready for change as she takes up a job as an archivist. When she discovers a valuable 15th-century painting, she is drawn to find out more about the woman who left it behind and, in doing so, unravels a tragic love story beset by the political turmoil of post-war Italy. The Beekeeper of Aleppo and Songbirds by Christy Lefteri In The Beekeeper of Aleppo, beekeeper Nuri and his wife, Afra – an artist – live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo – until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape. Songbirds is set in the author’s native Cyprus, and Christy Lefteri has crafted a triumphant follow-up to The Beekeeper of Aleppo, which illuminates the power of the human spirit and the enduring love of a mother for her child. The Trawlerman by William Shaw This thriller is pacy, intense and riddled with surprising twists, and The Trawlerman shows that deceit can be found in the most unlikely places. The brooding waters of the Kent coastline offer an ominous backdrop for this lively thriller of corruption, mental health and the complexities of human connection. The Favour by Nicci French When Liam unexpectedly turns up in Jude’s life after ten years of no contact, asking her for a favour, she just can’t say no. He was her first love, and even though she is now a successful doctor and about to get married, he will always be someone special to her. But after she does the favour, she is contacted by the police, informing her that Liam has been found dead, and suddenly she is caught up in a murder investigation. Winchelsea by Alex Preston The year is 1742. Goody Brown, saved from drowning and adopted when just a babe, has grown up happily in the smuggling town of Winchelsea. But when she turns 16, her father is murdered by men he thought were friends. In a town where lawlessness prevails, Goody and her brother Francis must enter the cut-throat world of her father's killers in order to find justice.
