BURIAL PLOT BY ELIZABETH MACNEAL
*********Special Indie Edition*****
From the bestselling author of The Doll Factory, The Burial Plot is an unstoppable historical thriller about murder, manipulation, and a young woman trying to wrestle power from the hands of a dangerous man. But he’s always one step ahead ...
London, 1839. Where the cemeteries are full and there is money to be made in death, Bonnie and Crawford lead a life of trickery, surviving off ill-gotten coin and nefarious schemes. But one hot evening, their luck runs out. A man lies in a pool of blood at Bonnie’s feet and now she needs to disappear.
Crawford secures her a position as lady’s maid in a grand house on the Thames, still deep in mourning for its late mistress. As Bonnie comes to understand this family – the eccentric Mr Moncrieff, obsessively drawing mausoleums grand enough for his dead wife, and their peculiar daughter Cissie, scribbling imaginary love letters to herself from the mysterious Lord Duggan – she begins to question what really happened to Mrs Moncrieff and whether her own presence here was planned from the beginning.
Because Crawford is watching, and perhaps he is plotting his greatest trick yet ...

The King’s Mother by Annie Garthwaite
********PERSONALLY SIGNED COPIES AVAILABLE *******
On the 11th July Viking will be publishing Annie Garthwaite’s follow-up novel to the critically-acclaimed Cecily which told us about the first half of Cecily Neville’s, wife of Richard of York, mother of Edward IV and Richard III, life.
The King’s Mother continues the story but works brilliantly as a standalone too. It is a timely, feminist retelling of The War of the Roses as seen through the eyes of four ruthless and determined women. Peeling back the layers of England’s bloodiest civil war, The King’s Mother explores how women – and mothers – are at the centre of Britain’s history.
1461. Through blood and battle Edward has gained England’s throne – king by right and conquest – eighteen years old and unstoppable. Cecily has piloted his rise to power and stands at his shoulder now, first to claim the title King’s Mother.
But to win a throne is not to keep it and war is come again. As brother betrays brother, and trusted cousins turn treacherous, other mothers rise up to fight for other sons. Cecily must focus her will to defeat every challenge. Wherever they come from. Whatever the cost.
For there can be only one King, and only one King’s Mother.
From the Wars of the Roses to the dawn of the Tudor age, this is a story of mothers and sons; of maternal ferocity and female ambition - of all they can build and all they can destroy.
We are so excited about the release of this brilliant book. Warwick was of course, the power centre of Richard Neville Earl of Warwick (The King Maker) who features in Cecily and is a main character in The King’s Mother, so you might even call this a local story. Annie, who is a wonderful supporter of independent bookshops, has agreed to sign copies for us with dedication - making this a lovely gift. Simply complete the dedication details below and order by 1st of July!
