    The Red-Headed League by Arthur Conan Doyle is one of the most clever and entertaining Sherlock Holmes mysteries ever written. When a red-haired pawnbroker is offered an absurdly generous job by a mysterious organization that exists only for men with flaming red hair, Holmes immediately senses that something far more sinister is at work. What begins as a seemingly harmless curiosity soon unfolds into an ingenious criminal plot hidden beneath layers of misdirection and deception. 
    Ideal for lovers of classic mysteries, Victorian fiction, and timeless detective stories, The Red-Headed League remains a shining example of why Sherlock Holmes endures as one of literature’s greatest characters.

    Can you ever escape your past? Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell 
     Four years in prison were hard but I thought things were looking up when I landed a job at Bright’s Industrial Laundry.  I just wanted to get on with my life, put my past, my mistakes behind me. With only six months’ probation left to serve, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just wanted to keep my head down and nose clean. But little did I know I was no safer on the outside than I was on the inside. The boss, Terry, didn’t want us to forget.  But I wasn’t going to be another one of his victims and I would do anything not to go back…Praise for Gemma Rogers:

    Fifth novel in the Barsetshire series, The Small House at Allington is largely focused on the Small House's inhabitants, Mrs. Dale and her two marriageable daughters, Lily and Bell. The two girls, of course, have suitors: their cousin, Bernard Dale, his friend Adolphus Crosbie, and the local boy, Johnny Eames, whose career in London is to mark him as far more than the "hobbledehoy" that he has earlier been considered. Crosbie is a social climber, and his connection with the dysfunctional de Courcys of Barsetshire give the author a chance for a splendid portrayal of an aristocratic family in decline. As with many of AT's novels, there are subplots as well, and many pictures of rural life standing in contrast to that of London. Some critics have seen in the portrayal of Johnny Eames something of an autobiographical exercise on Trollope's part.(Summary by Nicholas Clifford)
