Fools and Mortals - Bernard Cornwell

'Fools and Mortals' follows the young Richard Shakespeare, an actor struggling to make his way in a company dominated by his estranged older brother, William. As the growth of theatre blooms, their rivalry - and that of the playhouses, playwrights and actors vying for acclaim and glory - propels a high-stakes story of conflict and betrayal.

The Golden Rule - Amanda Craig

When Hannah is invited into the first class carriage of the London to Penzance train by Jinni, she walks into a spider's web. Now a poor young single mother, Hannah once escaped Cornwall to go to university. Her husband has left her for Eve, rich and childless, and Hannah has been surviving by becoming a cleaner in London.

Jinni is equally angry and bitter, and in the course of their journey the two women agree to murder each other's husbands. After all, they are strangers on a train - who could possibly connect them?

Are you Watching Me? - Sinead Crowley

Liz Cafferky is on the up. Rescued from her dark past by the owner of a drop-in centre for older men, she soon finds herself as the charity's face - and the unwilling darling of the Dublin media. Amidst her claustrophobic fame, she barely notices a letter from a new fan. But then one of the centre's clients is brutally murdered, and another, more sinister note arrives.
