Girl in a Blue Dress

Author: Gaynor Arnold

Alfred Gibson's funeral has taken place at Westminster Abbey, and his wife of 20 years, Dorothea, has not been invited. The Great Man favours his children and a clandestine mistress over his estranged wife. Dorothea revisits their early courtship before the birth of too many children sapped her vitality, and discovers the devious nature and hypnotic power of this celebrity author. Now she needs to face her grown up children, and worse, her nemesis of 10 years, the charming Miss Ricketts. This is a re-telling of the lives of Charles and Catherine Dickens.

Conman

Author: Richard Asplin

The story of a young man; A nice enough chap, mid-30s, sensitive. A small shop, a loving family and the obligatory laminate-floored flat in Putney. Or is it? It could be that Conman is the story of a dark-hearted, devilish confidence trickster. A man who, despite his tweeds, pocket-watches and tendency to say indeedy-dumplings, isn't a nice chap. Somewhere in the shadows, where High Fidelity meets The Usual Suspects, where David Mamet meets Ben Elton, Richard Asplin's Conman will have readers laughing and guessing to the last page.
