THRILLER / MYSTERY / HORROR

The Tenant
By Frieda McFadden

If you’ve read any of this best-selling author’s previous offerings, you’ll know why we’re so excited about her new release.

Blake Porter has it all until he’s fired from his high-profile job and can’t meet the mortgage on his new home. That’s when the perfect tenant for his spare room turns up, in the shape of Whitney.

But something’s not quite right. The neighbours aren’t happy, the house smells bad and things are going bump in the night. Add to that Blake’s own dark secrets and you have the makings of another great thriller.

HUMOUR / ENTERTAINMENT / MEMOIR

Big Dumb Eyes
By Nate Bargatze

The first book from outstanding stand-up man Nate Bargatze – one-time genius, before he hit his head on a rock and “my skull got, like, dented or something”. In it he brings his inimitable viewpoint to some great stories, such as tales of Old Blue, his first car, a clunky stick-shift Mazda, and the trials of travelling as a Southerner – apparently Northerners wonder if he believes in dinosaurs. Add in the story of his first apartment, shared with and bitten by rats, and numerous debates with his wife on subjects from diet to shopping, and you know you’re in for a fun ride.
