Elizabeth Macneal The Doll Factory

London, 1850. When Iris is asked to model for Pre-Raphaelite artist Louis Frost, she agrees on the condition that he will also teach her to paint. Suddenly, her word expands and becomes a place of art and love. But since she met Silas, a collector entranced by the strange and the beautiful, he has only thought of one thing, and his obsession is darkening … ‘Stunningly confident … thoroughly engrossing.’ – Ian Rankin.

Bev Thomas A Good Enough Mother

Dr Ruth Hartland is the director of a highly respected trauma therapy unit. Confident and in control, on this particular day she is preoccupied by the disappearance of her son, Tom. So when a new patient arrives at the unit, a young man who looks shockingly like Tom, she knows exactly what she should do. And doesn’t. ‘…all the tension of a thriller with the emotional resonance of a powerful family drama’ – Paula Hawkins
