A world divided. A queendom without an heir. An ancient enemy awakens. Some epic fantasy in The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon - an unusual and entertaining read. #ReadingHour https://t.co/TldjGtiSiu

A very different read in Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson - a debut novel. A look at New York three siblings who hail from Pineapple Street but have very different views on their wealth. A cool witty observation on class, money & love. Funny in parts! #ReadingHour https://t.co/MVhIXYRZKm

A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins - was loved by our reviewer, who described it as 'my best crime novel of 2021 so far'. A murder & three very damaged women, but who did the deed? Full of tension-superb! #ReadingHour #eAudiobook https://t.co/Yv1K88vZKj

Our first #ReadingHour book is Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson. A storm strands the Cunningham family at a mountain resort - tricky as they don't all get along...and then a body is found in the snow. Everyone is a killer, but who is a murderer? https://t.co/SwYCi1CWwA
