Hot Pick for June
Fruit of a Poisoned Tree: A true story of murder and the miscarriage of justice, by Antony Altbeker (Jonathan Ball)
From the moment you pick up this book and read the first chilling chapter you will not be able to put it down.
Antony Altbeker spent years following the Inge Lotz murder story and the subsequent trial where her boyfriend Fred van der Vyfer stood accused as her murderer. This is his riveting account of the investigation into the case.
More Hot Picks for June
Mr
Rosenblum's List (or friendly guidance for the aspiring Englishman), by Natasha Solomons (Sceptre)A delightful and charming first novel, this is the story of Jack Rosenblum, classified a 'class B' alien when he comes to London in 1937 to escape the Nazis. In his determination to become the perfect English Gentleman he cultivates some hilarious and touching habits like watching the BBC weather report every day and buying marmalade only from Fortnum & Masons. A lovely, warm read.
The Sorely Trying Day, by Russel Hoban (author) and Lillian Hoban (illustrator)
Originally published in the 60s, this quaint and nostalgic chidren's book has been republished by The New York Review of Books Children's Collection. A beautiful children's classic for your shelf.
