In 1951, unhappiness is hardly grounds for divorce. Except at the divorce ranches of Reno, Nevada. Here women live together for six weeks – the state’s only divorce requirement – before they earn their freedom. Six weeks of living it up at the casino and flirting with cowboys. The Divorcées by Rowan Beaird … all female friendship, desire, and freedom. Manilla Press
The Blue Sisters. A strait-laced lawyer. A boxer-turned-bouncer. A Paris model. And then the fourth sister … who’s unexpected death leaves the three reeling. Grief, addiction, heartbreak all need to be addressed when they reunite in New York to stop the sale of their family home. Coco Mellors’ novel is a beautifully written story of true sisterhood – the misunderstandings, the squabbles, the resentment and the love. HarperCollins UK
The Manor. It’s meant to be a retreat for the very wealthy … the kind of place where guests are given crystals to wear in a velvet pouch, and who attend solstice suppers in the forest. Where the owner rubs clary sage onto her pulse points and halos herself with sacred mist. That would be just before she has five shots of vodka (it’s a clean spirit!) to wash down the pills kept inside her old Ayurvedic tea tin. It’s also a place that is, on opening night, on fire. Secrets from more decade before have come back to haunt … and it’s going to end in murder. Lucy Foley’s The Midnight Feast is just fabulous! HarperCollins
A book tour along the Amalfi Coast, rabid fans, literary rivals, ex-flames, a crazed stalker … suspicions are flying faster than paperbacks off a bestseller shelf … and someone is trying to get away with murder. Every Time I Go On Vacation Someone Dies is Catherine Mack’s fabulously darkly funny read. Macmillan
Kevin Kwan’s Lies and Weddings is the marvellously wicked story of Rufus, a future earl and former supermodel, who’s drowning in debt and who’s only hope, according to his mum, is to attend his sister’s wedding and seduce a woman with money. But the exposure of a secret tryst sees the family plans – and their reputation – go up in flames, leaving Rufus in a bit of a quandary. Glitz, glamour, money, sex and murder. Such fun!
