Catalog Of Desire And Disappearance By Ana Cruz

One of my absolute fave reads! Check out my review here.
When Ana, a socially awkward 28-year old, finds a discarded diary on the streets of Berlin, she unwittingly uncovers a hidden world of desire, danger, and disappearance.

The diary belongs to Gabriella Meyer, a daring sex therapist living in the communist East Berlin during the 80s, where pleasure was a scarce commodity and danger lurked around every corner. As Ana delves deeper into Gabriella’s life and work, she discovers that her own sexual awakening and Gabriella’s sudden disappearance may be more intertwined than she ever could have imagined.

With each page of the diary revealing new secrets, Ana becomes increasingly obsessed with the enigmatic Gabriella and the dark truths that she may have hidden.

Murder At The Matinee By Jamie West

Following on from the success of Death on the Pier, playwright turned real-life detective, Bertie Carroll, returns for the second book in this golden-age-style whodunnit series, set in the exciting world of theatreland in 1930s London.

An unexpected phone call from a rival playwright puts Bertie centre stage in another mystery. Can he help unravel the motive behind a mysterious newspaper advert that boldly declares a murder will take place during a show’s third act? There’s only one problem, there is no murder in the third act of the play!

When a victim is discovered and the police are brought in, Bertie and Inspector Hugh Chapman get thrown awkwardly back together as they both work to find the killer.

The spotlight falls on each suspect in turn and, this time, even Bertie is not above suspicion. But can rivalries and differences be put aside to solve this devious murder?
