About The Pool Party – Rebecca Bainbridge
Perfect for readers of Liane Moriarty, Lucy Foley and Lisa Jewell, The Pool Party is an addictive thriller that lifts the lid on a seemingly perfect world. When Kate moves to the idyllic village of Fletching, she quickly bonds with Melody, a fellow school-gate mum. But after a near-fatal accident at a summer pool party, long-buried secrets begin to surface and threaten to destroy both families.
About Rebecca Bainbridge
Originally from Leeds, Rebecca Bainbridge now lives in Surrey with her husband and three sons. She has worked in international marketing, leading projects for organisations including Procter & Gamble, Warner Bros and the BBC. The Pool Party is her debut novel.
About The Temptation Test – Rachel North
ER Doctor Dev Balakrishnan is late for work when he sees her: slumped on the curb like a broken doll, covered in blood. Everyone else walks on by. Not Dev. He saves people’s lives every day, but Brooke is different: prey one minute, predator the next. As she spins her web of stories Dev finds himself hopelessly caught up in her world of danger and deceit. Brooke will test Dev in ways he never dreamed of. Whether he passes or fails will become a matter of life and death – for both of them.
