July book picks
Adult pick: My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney
The best book yet from Alice Feeney, the Queen of Twists! My Husband's Wife weaves a tangled web of deception, obsession and mystery as artist Eden Fox arrives home to her husband only to find another woman in her place. Each chapter leaves you on such a cliffhanger that you just have to read one more: the perfect sun lounger thriller!
Great for those who love: Books with twists and turns, unreliable narrators, unpredictable plots, immersive settings and books to take on holiday. This book is perfect for fans of Harlan Coben, Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell and His & Hers on Netflix (which is based on one of Alice's earlier novels).
Children and teens pick: The Mubbles – When Berry Met Terry by Liz Pichon
Join the Mubbles on another full-colour adventure from Liz Pichon. Today the Uncertain Curtain delivers Terry – a very cute, very naughty dog! Berry is delighted to finally have a friend to play with, but Terry soon causes a lot of chaos on the Isle of Smile. Will Terry the dog have to leave early? Do the Mubbles finish their sunset song? Can Berry's furry plan save the day?
Great for those who love: Laugh-out-loud graphic novel adventures with mischievous animal antics and a vibrant cast of characters. This the perfect book if your kids are already obsessed with Pablo and Splash or Bumble and Snug or the chaotic puppy comedy of The Secret Life of Pets and the bright, musical fun of Trolls.
