We Solve Murders by Richard Osman
12 September, Penguin Books Ltd
Richard Osman, the bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club series, brings us a brand new mystery solving duo, with another thrilling mystery.
Meet Steve Wheeler, a retiree, who you can now often find at his local pub quiz instead of tangled up in different adventures like you once could. His daughter-in-law, Amy, as private security, thrives on adrenaline and thrills.
Whilst protecting a famous author on a remote island, trouble begins to loom over paradise when a dead body and a bag of money appear. What should have been an easy job has turned into a nightmare when it becomes clear that the killer has his eyes set on Amy. In this situation, there is only one person Amy trusts enough to call: Steve. They must try to stay one step ahead of this newfound enemy as this gripping tale takes them around the world.
We Solve Murders carries Osman’s usual wit, intertwined with unexpected twists and turns.
This book is something fresh and original for the autumnal months, with wonderful characters you won’t soon forget.

Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood

Following the life of magical bookseller Belladonna Blackthorn, Rewitched is a charming romantasy in the vein of Sarah Hawley’s A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon, and the recent rise in popularity of cosy witchcraft tales. Wood weaves together the wondrous world of bookselling with the protagonist’s own enchanting background, creating a delightful adventure.
When Belladonna receives a call from her coven on her thirtieth birthday to prove herself worthy of her title, she is faced with the challenge of protecting her magic and herself from the threat of losing her identity altogether.
Encountering dark forces and unexpected companions, including one coven watchman, Belladonna must work against the clock and accept the help she is offered before it becomes too late.
With slow burn romance, mystical autumnal vibes and all the wonderfully witchy details, this book is the perfect entrance to the pumpkin spice months ahead and will be sure to bewitch any reader looking for their next cosy romantasy addition.
Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
24 September, Faber & Faber
Polar opposites, brothers Ivan and Peter experience a shared grief after their father’s death.
The eldest, Peter, is calm, confident, and suave, the kind no one would think likely to crack. But with the recent death of his father, he is spiralling. Self-medicating and barely juggling different relationships with his first love and a college student, Peter is changing.
Twenty-two-year-old Ivan, quiet and shy compared to Peter's charisma, becomes entangled in his own tumultuous relationship with an older woman, Margaret. Both suffering, they become deeply embedded into each other's lives.
As the brothers are engulfed in their own romantic relationships, grief gives way to a new host of experiences. Together and separate, they must find what lies inside the path of grief and what can emerge ahead.
