Strangers: The unforgettable new crime thriller
‘A fast-paced, terrifying journey.’ RACHEL ABBOTT
‘A born storyteller.’ PETER JAMES
A stranger is just a killer you haven’t met yet… The SUNDAY TIMES bestseller returns with the next big thing to hit the shelves. If you haven’t discovered Paul Finch yet, this book will have you hooked.
Unknown, alone, and fearing for your life: as PC Lucy Clayburn is about to find out, going undercover is the most dangerous work there is.
But, on the trail of a prolific female serial killer, there’s no other option – and these murders are as brutal as they come. Lucy must step into the line of fire – a stranger in a criminal underworld that butchers anyone who crosses the line.
And, unknown to Lucy, she’s already treading it…
Dark, gritty and ALWAYS edge-of-your-seat. Paul Finch will leave fans of Rachel Abbott and MJ Arlidge gasping for more.

The Butterfly Club by Jacqueline Wilson
Tina is a triplet, but she’s always been the odd one out. Her sisters Phil and Maddie are bigger and stronger and better at just about everything. Luckily, they look after teeny-tiny Tina wherever they go―but when the girls start in scary, super-strict Miss Lovejoy’s class, they’re split up, and Tina has to fend for herself for the first time.
Tina is horrified when she’s paired up with angry bully Selma, who nobody wants to be friends with. But when Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers she doesn’t always need her sisters―and that there’s a lot more to Selma than first meets the eye.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of the most recognisable vehicles from children’s books (and films) and this collection brings together Frank Cottrell Boyce’s brilliant three sequels to the original story by Ian Fleming.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again finds the Tooting family finding a vast abandoned engine and fitting it to their campervan. It turns out this engine used to belong to an extraordinary flying car and it wants to be back on the road – and in the air – again as soon as possible. As Chitty tracks down her long-lost bodywork, the family get set for an incredible adventure…
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time finds Chitty stuck in reverse – and that means the Tooting family are going on a quest through time. And they’re coming face to face with a terrifying T-rex; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Over the Moon has the Tootings stuck in 1966 and Little Harry and Chitty have both been kidnapped. There’s only one thing they can do – they need to find the Potts – the family that originally built Chitty!
