A ship, a gun, and a nice teal robe to find one killer on a planet of
criminals: will Qays Mendoza get the answers he is looking for?
Qays Mendoza get the answers he is looking for?
On the edges of mankind’s domain there is a penal planet called Fresh Start
where a sentence is at best exile to five generations, but more likely death
in its harsh unforgiving wastes. It is to this planet the empire sends the
worst of the worst and it is on this planet that Qays Mendoza searches for
his old captain.
The galactic empire is falling, civilization contracts. Fresh Start is
abandoned. Without oversight, the planet is wild, without guards; the
Oubliette, the supermax prison on the supermax planet, lies open, and the
Butcher of Raznak, a killer worse than the one Qays seeks, is on the loose.
With the help of a street waif called Patience, Qays seeks answers. His soul
is stained with guilt and his spirit broken by complicity. Religion did not
have the answer; duty did not explain it. Birthright and station were not
enough. His answers lie somewhere on Fresh Start.

SYNOPSIS
From the world of Raven Burns. The third book in the award-winning Killing series by Faye Snowden, following A Killing Fire and A Killing Rain.
Raven Burns owes her life to the kind souls who looked after her while her father, unbeknownst to them, sowed a path of blood and bodies from California to Louisiana as one of the most notorious serial killers ever known, Floyd “Fire” Burns. When Raven was a girl, Floyd brutally murdered one of those kind souls, Miss Ruth Jefferson, when the woman made the fatal decision to open the door to him on a pitch-black 4th of July night.
As Raven learned of her father’s crimes, she vowed to do everything in her power to put men like him away. Decades later Raven’s hunt for a serial killer terrorizing the town leads her right back to that 4th of July night, and a memory that will make her question how much Floyd’s evil has settled in her bones.

SYNOPSIS
Driving a logging truck through the Romanian mountains, smuggler Rosi and her crew come across a radio signal that hints at impending doom. As the world goes completely dark, their truck becomes a vessel sailing across a sea of nothingness.
But they’re not alone: transmissions trickle in through the radio from similar isolated islands across the country, from amateur radio hobbyists and police cars and customs facilities. Attempting to rescue survivors and find a way out, the group save more lives, but soon discover that something hungry lurks below, and it’s sending up agents – and transmissions – of its own.

Review: From Crime Scenes to Cruise Ships, by Dr Rhona Morrison
NEW FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF I DON’T TALK TO DEAD BODIES What if your biggest challenge became your greatest adventure?
One day, Dr Rhona Morrison was a respected forensic psychiatrist planning for retirement. The next, on her birthday, she became a widow, stepping into an uncertain and unplanned future alone. But as Rhona soon discovered, an ending can also be a beginning – if you grasp the opportunities life presents.
In this warm, witty, and inspiring memoir, Rhona shares how she navigated the twists and turns of her loss and subsequent reinvention, transforming her grief into opportunity. From launching an art business and writing her first book, I Don’t Talk to Dead Bodies, to becoming a cruise ship lecturer and embarking on global adventures, she tackled each step with an open heart. Along the way, she discovered unexpected joys, new passions, and a renewed sense of purpose.
From Crime Scenes to Cruise Ships is an uplifting story of resilience, reinvention and embracing the unknown. Whether you’re facing loss, retirement, or a major life shift, Rhona’s journey is a reminder that even when life feels uncertain, you still have the power to shape your future. It may not look like you once imagined, but it can still be rich with meaning, adventure and possibility.
Your story isn’t over; the next chapter is waiting. So, let’s turn the page and step into what comes next – together.

Review: The Cat Bride, by Charlotte Tierney
The heatwave of 1995.
Sixteen years since an infamous tiger-lynx hybrid escaped a small moorland zoo and killed a man.
Sixteen years since the animal was euthanised.
Sixteen years for the zoo to fall into disrepair.
Lowdy’s Mumma grew up in the zoo and when Lowdy falls ill, they’re forced to move to the old zoo for her to recover, still inhabited by her dying grandmother. As soon as they arrive, rumours surface of a big cat stalking the moors again.
Vengeful locals blame the three women for an apex predator on the loose and invade the estate, searching for proof.
Mumma insists all the cats are dead. Grandma whispers that the ‘tynx’ needs to be fed. Lowdy, still recovering from her own mysterious illness, has no idea what to believe. Can she even trust herself when she wakes up covered in ticks with no recollection of the night before?
As Lowdy searches for the truth – the truth of her childhood, what it means
to be a woman, and the truth about the cats – she realizes something catlike runs in the blood, something she cannot ignore.
