All The Rage by Cara Hunter: All The Rage is the fourth novel featuring DI Adam Fawley from awardwinni­ng crime author Cara Hunter. The team at St Aldgate’s police station in Oxford are back; this time investigat­ing two attacks on young girls – both reminiscen­t of the Roadside Rapist, Gavin Parry, who was convicted in the Nineties and is now up for parole. You’ll be deceived by a red herring once or twice, but it’s the stunning ending that sets All The Rage apart in the crowded crime fiction genre.

The Hard Stuff by David Gordon: We have the return of Joe a former black ops specialist turned bouncer and fixer and a crime boss with a problem that needs immediate attention and only Joe can even start to understand how to sort it. Can Joe and his motley bunch of cohorts pull off a heist of epic proportion­s?

The Captain And The Glory by Dave Eggers:

This latest attempt to satirise the Trump regime follows the Admiral (Obama), the captain of the good ship Glory (the US) who goes into retirement, and on a whim the passengers replace him with a ‘known moron’ who ‘said pretty much anything that popped into his head’ (guess who). This cartoonish, entertaini­ng read is likely to gratify the President’s opponents without doing much to unsettle his supporters.

How To Break Up With Fast Fashion by Lauren Bravo: Reading this book feels like sitting on your bed with your best friend, realising together just how bad fast fashion is for the environmen­t, working through each stage of the grieving process as you realise it’s time to end the affair – and finally working out an excellent game plan.
