"Overall, an enjoyable, light read with a few raucous moments and a satisfying ending."

The remote village of Didsbrook is thrown into turmoil after its best-known resident, the former actress turned best-selling novelist Jocelyn Robertshaw, is found dead under mysterious circumstances.

Villagers are appalled to learn that the charismatic Jocelyn died from Hemlock poisoning. Police claim she shot and ate a quail that had ingested hemlock. A theory disputed by all who knew her well. The animal-loving Jocelyn would never kill anything, but due to the lack of forensic evidence, police rule death by misadventure.

Jocelyn’s young protégée, Lucy Fothergill, determined to discover the truth about what happened to her mentor, discovers a hidden stash of Jocelyn’s notebooks, revealing jaw-dropping secrets from Jocelyn’s past. The impression Jocelyn gave the world that she lived a near-perfect life was an Academy Award-winning performance.

Believing the events from Jocelyn’s past may have led to her death forty-eight years later, Lucy begins to piece together the clues that lead to the truth.

The sleepy village of Didsbrook is about to wake up!

"The humour shines through in this bittersweet family drama!"

Turning forty, Lisa Grant is broke, alone and living in rural Gloucestershire. A midlife crisis seems inevitable.

She has a habit of pushing people away—and three words she cannot say: “I love you.” Now Jack, the love of her life, has put the Atlantic between them following their latest falling-out.

To understand why she struggles with love, Lisa must confront her most difficult relationship: the one with her mother, Elizabeth.

When Lisa was six, her father disappeared from the family home. Elizabeth kept the reason hidden. Years later, reconnecting with him exposed painful truths about her controlling mother.

But after four decades of sparring with Elizabeth, Lisa begins to ask a different question: what made her mother this way?

Turning her journalistic skills towards Elizabeth’s past, she uncovers a history that shocks her—and challenges her understanding of the woman she thought she knew.

"Nostalgic look back through the life and career of a pioneer."

I believed his lifetime of achievements in aviation deserved to be recorded, and I take all the credit for persuading him to write his story. It wasn’t easy: despite his excachievements career, Brian was a very modest man. Once he agreed, the least I could do was help him put it together—something I took tremendous pride in doing.

I believed his lifetime of achievements in aviation deserved to be recorded, and I take all credit for persuading him to write his story. It wasn’t easy: despite his exceptional career, Brian was a very modest man. Once he agreed, the least I could do was help him put it together—something I took tremendous pride in doing.

In Brian Trubshaw – Test Pilot, he recounts a career that took him from wartime service in the RAF to the forefront of British aviation, culminating in the maiden flight of the British-built Concorde prototype, 002.

Along the way, he offers a pilot’s perspective on some of Britain’s most significant aircraft, including the Valiant, BAC 1-11 and VC10. His recollections also reveal the political and industrial manoeuvrings behind the aircraft programmes, and the challenges facing the British aircraft industry.

For aviation enthusiasts, it is an insight into a remarkable career. For me, it is also the voice of someone much loved and greatly missed.

I also had the pleasure of helping Brian put together Concorde: The Complete Inside Story, his account of the extraordinary aircraft with which his name will always be associated. Helping him preserve these stories remains a particularly treasured part of my writing life.
