Crime fiction bloggers, we NEED YOU! We are on th Crime fiction bloggers, we NEED YOU! We are on the hunt for UK-based book bloggers to review Graham Bartlett’s second explosive crime thriller set in the dark underbelly of Brighton – Force of Hate. When a firebomb attack at a Brighton travellers’ site kills women and children, Chief Superintendent Jo Howe has strong reason to believe the new, dubiously elected, far-right council leader is behind the murders. Against the direct orders of her chief constable, Jo digs deeper into the killings. She uncovers a criminal ring of human trafficking and euthanasia all leading to a devastating plot which threatens thousands of lives and from which the murderous politician looks sure to walk away scot-free.

A unique, personal and unforgettable memoir of a f A unique, personal and unforgettable memoir of a family that was changed forever by the Second World War … Kitty Baxter was born in London in 1930, the daughter of a road sweeper and a cleaner and one of five children. On her ninth birthday, as the shadow of war loomed ever closer, Kitty became one of thousands of children evacuated to the countryside. This would be the first of three times that she was rehoused far from home over the course of the war. Kitty recalls the gruelling years she was cut off from her parents, her experiences living with strangers’ families in environments radically different to working-class London and how she navigated joyful moments and times of struggle and loss. One of the last generation of women from this era, Kitty’s voice remains as whip-smart as her irrepressible nine-year-old self who triumphed over the adversity of a most unusual childhood.

For those who are keen to learn more about the his For those who are keen to learn more about the history behind today’s Holocaust Memorial Day, we strongly recommend that Georgia Hunter’s We Were The Lucky Ones goes to the top of your reading pile. Based on an incredible true story, this novel follows a family determined to survive war-torn Europe. 1939. Three generations of the Kurc family strive to live normal lives despite the growing hardships they face as Jews. But as the realities of war rush to meet them, they are cast to the wind and must do everything they can to find their way through a devastated continent to freedom. Based on an incredible true story that ranges from pre-war Parisian jazz clubs to the desolation of the Siberian gulag, and follows the Kurc family as refugees, prisoners and fighters, We Were the Lucky Ones is a testament to the notion that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can find a way to survive, and even triumph. #HolocaustMemorialDay #WeWereTheLuckyOnes #GeorgiaHunter #AllisonandBusby
