Another scorcher from brilliant writer Kate Riordan. Written in an urgent, breathless style with a fascinating structure, Italy is evoked in all its sultry beauty, while drama throbs and secrets surface. A quintessential summer read

If you enjoyed Kate Riordan's South of France set novel The Heatwave, then you're guaranteed to love Summer Fever , which transports readers to a crumbling villa in the Italian countryside . . . Full of forbidden desire and dark secrets, this sultry psychological thriller pulses with suspense and simmering tension

A creeping, dreamlike drama unravelling in the perfect setting, Summer Fever reminds me why Kate Riordan is one of my favourite suspense writers

Intimate, intense and utterly addictive, Summer Fever is a rare treat of a novel, combining elegant writing with astute psychology and a thrilling plot. Riordan excels in drawing us close and keeping us there, witness to her characters' simmering desires and hidden betrayals, as secrets from the past begin to creep through the walls of Villa Luna Rossa. I enjoyed every minute of this beautiful story. Days after finishing it, I'm still shaking off the spell.

An emotionally rich and keenly observed novel, full of astute observations on desire and disappointment. Summer Fever is utterly compelling and transporting, with a delicious sense of ever-building unease. I loved it

Sultry, seductive and unsettlingly honest, Summer Fever explores the lies that we tell ourselves, the truths that desire blinds us to, and the bonds of friendship that can reveal them all

This is the perfect summer read. The tension sizzles off the pages, and the sense of foreboding and danger never lets up. I devoured this feverishly, well into the early hours, wishing I was basking in the Mediterranean sun. Sexy, moreish... dazzlingly good

Beautifully written, totally immersive, the believable characters and stunning but menacing setting will keep you reading way after lights out

A scorching portrait of obsessive lust and a marriage in danger, in a setting that is both beautiful and hostile. I love Kate Riordan's sharp insight into the nuances of the relationships between the four protagonists, as their moods shift and the tension rises.

This red-hot book will have you gripped

Packed with cherishable details and intriguingly ambivalent about the role of the Secret Intelligence Service, John le Carré's last novel brings his career to a close in fine style

A very fine finale . . . for writing of subtlety, cadence and strength, with a special aptitude for the revealing particular, [le Carré] is virtually unequalled . . . Time and again, le Carré was able to weave an entrancing, haunting world of his own, a feat repeated in Silverview. There are few writers to match him, and fewer who are still alive

In his trademark lucid prose, le Carré sets the scene for an atmospheric tale of betrayal, deceit and secret service malpractice . . . John le Carré, one of the great analysts of the contemporary scene, has left us a minor masterpiece of secrets and lies in spy land

A winner with fans of the master spy-writer

A piercing portrait of moral ambivalence

It is classic le Carré . . . If this is the quality le Carré was producing in the last years of his life, we can be certain there are further posthumous delights coming our way

I gobbled up Silverview . . . Here le Carré is on more familiar territory - what was once known as Mitteleuropa, with its shape-shifting double agents, scarred idealists on the prowl for lost causes

It has often been said that le Carré is a novelist, not a mere thriller writer. Yet the thing is that, for all his protests that his creations were always more fictional than credited, what he excels at is giving us a plausible peek into the spy's world

[Le Carré's] prose is as quietly impressive as ever and it's a thoroughly enjoyable read. It makes for bittersweet reading - the final work of a master, on fine form

Promises to be filled with intrigue, surprises and timely meditations on the relationship between individuals and nations

One of the great moral writers of recent times

First-rate prose and a fascinating plot . . . a fitting coda to a remarkable career

Expertly Plotted

Pulls you into the heart of its story, while celebrating redemption, rehabilitation and the good in people. All set to the backdrop of a truly fascinating slice of history

Historical events and characters are cleverly blended into a thought-provoking tale

Adams disguises a social-history lesson on women's rights as a gripping period drama

Mindblowingly brilliant, it's a cracker - everyone should preorder IMMEDIATELY

Wrong Place Wrong Time is an astonishingly accomplished psychological thriller that pinpoints the ferocious love between mother and son, and the lengths we go to for that love. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I was entertained, but more than that: I was moved

Wrong Place, Wrong Time is an intricately plotted, highly original thriller full of heart, layers and jaw-dropping twists. Gillian McAllister is one of the finest suspense writers in the market today and this outstanding novel deserves every success

The most inventive thriller of the year

The next I Let You Go, the next Gone Girl, the next Girl on the Train . . . Wrong Place, Wrong Time will be a huge hit, deservedly so

Ambitious, menacing and shocking - a brilliant concept and her best book yet

McAllister pulls off this adventure with aplomb. Tightly plotted. Couldn't put it down . . . Don't miss it

Wrong Place Wrong Time contains layers of intrigue and secrecy . . . You'll turn each page of Jen's story, eager to find out - as she did - what secrets have been hiding in plain sight all along. You'll recommend this book to everyone you know

Masterfully crafted in every way, this novel races along-backward-for a reading experience so intriguing and immersive that you'll only pause to wonder how McAllister has done it. An original and emotional thriller that nails the tender moments of a mother's love as much as the big, impressive twists. A total stand-out and great fun to read-I loved it

WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME is the spellbinding story of a mother going back in time to try to prevent her son from committing a murder. Masterfully plotted and wholly original, McAllister keeps the surprises coming until the very last page, with an ending as satisfying as it is haunting.

Page-turning time-loop thriller . . . An intelligent puzzle full of heart and good sense

It's extraordinary, just One of Those Books. She's carved through time, and created something three dimensional. It's like peering into the interior of a beautiful twisty shell. I absolutely loved it.

Clever, original, and so addictive it should come with a warning. I loved it!

Gillian McAllister takes detective fiction in a new direction with this novel. Convincingly portrayed, and the criminal plot is cleverly designed

Tense . . . an affecting portrayal of a family careening toward crisis. [A] twisty book by a writer with a fine grasp of the subtleties of familial dysfunction. Unexpectedly tender

This book is clever, clever, clever. Tightly plotted with a great cast of characters and tension in every line, I lived it and loved it

A super-clever, belter of a book that will stay with you long after you finish it

Wrong Place, Wrong Time is a mind-bending, time-twisting knockout of a book. Genius plotting and pacing easily make this one of my favourite reads this year. Gillian McAllister is a rare talent

Once I started reading I whizzed through the book in a couple of sittings. Such deft crafting! It would make great TV

This unique, riveting novel is best described as Groundhog Day meets crime drama

A game-changer. What an amazing book

Brilliant. A genre defining book. So clever. It's going to be huge

Channels Groundhog Day with an endlessly replayed murder, as a woman's unassuming son kills a stranger - over and over again. The familiar plot motif is given an unguessable reset, and McAllister ensures that characterisation is as central to the novel's success as the plotting

It's terrific. It's ingenious. A GREAT concept

Full of originality, this is a memorable thriller that will stay with readers long after the last page
