Currently reading

One of the ninety-five unread books on my Kindle and a book for my personal Backlist Burrow reading challenge (that I hoped to complete by the end of 2023 but didn’t).

The Most Difficult ThingThe Most Difficult Thing/Part of the Family by Charlotte Philby (The Borough Press via NetGalley)

How do you know who’s on your side, if you don’t know whose side you’re on?

David is the heir to global company TradeSmart, run by his philanthropic father Clive Witherall. Meg is an ambitious intern at a national newspaper, determined to break into the media world. Anna is hiding a dark secret, desperately clinging onto her new identity.

When the three friends meet Harry, everything changes…

As Anna finds herself drawn into the dark and highly controlled world of espionage, she is forced to question everything she thought she knew about the people who have recruited her – and about herself.

All Day at the MoviesAll Day at the Movies by Fiona Kidman (Gallic Books)

When war widow Irene Sandle goes to work in New Zealand’s tobacco fields in 1952, she hopes to start a new, independent life for herself and her daughter – but the tragic repercussions of her decision will resonate long after Irene has gone.

Each of Irene’s children carries the events of their childhood throughout their lives, played out against a backdrop of great change – new opportunities emerge for women, but social problems continue to hold many back. Headstrong Belinda becomes a successful filmmaker, but struggles to deal with her own family drama as her younger siblings are haunted by the past.

History of Wolves by Emily Fridlund (Weidenfeld & Nicolson)

What Cathy (will) Read Next

His Bloody ProjectHis Bloody Project by Gordon Macrae Burnet (Contraband)

The year is 1869. A brutal triple murder in a remote community in the Scottish Highlands leads to the arrest of a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae.

A memoir written by the accused makes it clear that he is guilty, but it falls to the country’s finest legal and psychiatric minds to uncover what drove him to commit such merciless acts of violence.

Was he mad? Only the persuasive powers of his advocate stand between Macrae and the gallows.

  1. I’ve just finished Guardian of Darkness by Lara Adrian. About to start The Night Island by Jayne Anne Krentz. After that it’s either Cult by Camilla Lackberg or Last Call at the Local by Sara Grunder Ruiz.
