MYSTERY/THRILLER/SUSPENSE

The Fury
By Alex Michaelides

Told through narrator Elliot Chase, this takes the form of a ‘trapped on an island’ story, several of which have popped up in recent years. But, of course, coming from the pen of Alex Michaelides, we can expect a thrilling treat. We join a group of friends, invited by reclusive former movie star Lana Farrar, on an idyllic Greek escape during which twists and turns, revenge and hatred culminate in violence and murder… or is it?

FICTION

Diva
By Daisy Goodwin

If, like us, you’re just a little bit obsessed with the glamour of the mid20th century jet set (not to mention a Kennedy connection), then the latest offering from Daisy Goodwin could be just the thing for you. The author takes a fictionalised look at the life, loves and tragedies of one of the world’s greatest operatic divas, Maria Callas. From her childhood, with an overbearing mother in Nazi-occupied Greece, to her scandalous affair with shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who broke her heart when he married Jackie Kennedy. It’s all there.
