A nice haul for review this week, from both Netgalley and Edelweiss. Cool to get the new Patricia Cornwell, I haven't read many of hers but the ones I have I have enjoyed. Path of Needles is also one I'm looking forward to - Alison Littlewood's horror is always nicely chilling! In terms of books purchased, I have been anticipating Cat Winters' The Cure for Dreaming for a while.

The most exciting release I purchased this week is definitely Edge of Eternity by Ken Follett - I have loved his Century trilogy so far and can't wait to see how he ties it all up in this last book, set in the latter part of the 20th century. If you haven't read the Century trilogy yet, and you like historical fiction, pick it up. Extremely addictive! Also worthy of special mention: The Galaxy Game by Karen Lord and The Midnight Queen by Sylvia Izzo Hunter.

For review:
The Ghost Shift by John Gapper
The Galaxy Game by Karen Lord
The Wars of the Roses by Dan Jones
What You Left Behind by Samantha Hayes
In These Times by Jenny Uglow

Bought:

Edge of Eternity by Ken Follett
