Hugely compelling and inventive, it pulls the rug from under your feet from the very first page - O'Flynn reveals her clues tantalisingly in this poignant story of love and loss. An extraordinary book and a superb first novel’ Costa judges

‘What Was Lost skewers our consumer society in all its absurdity and terrible sadness, while deftly interweaving a tender and heartbreaking personal narrative. A great debut from an awesomely talented writerJonathan Coe

‘It’s quite extraordinary. There’s an amazing insight into the mind of a young girl, a very funny account of a working in a high-street record store, an entirely sympathetic hero in the form of a security guard, a cracking mystery, a brilliant sense of place in the form of a modern shopping centre, and a ghost story to boot. I adored every page of it and recommend it to everyoneJenny Colgan

MY YEAR 2005: TERRIFYING TIMES
by Johnson

£ 9.99, 1933382651

>READ FULL REVIEW

Six-times best-selling author Eric Jerome Dickey returns with this novel of romance and betrayal. Eric Jerome Dickey's boldly sensuous new novel centres on what his fans love best - steamy romance and shocking betrayal. This edge-of-your-seat novel revolves around a good man who loves his wife, Genevieve, but finds himself drawn into an affair...with his wife's sister. However, both women share a mysterious and troubled past that raises the stakes even higher in this breathtakingly fast novel. Raw, sexy, humorous, wry and thrilling all at once, "Genevieve" should once again place Dickey on best-seller lists everywhere.
