|author= Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke
|title= The Sleeping Beauty Killer (Under Suspicion 4)
|rating= 4
|genre= Crime
|summary=Fifteen years ago, Casey Carter went to prison for the murder of her fiancée Hunter Raleigh. The evidence seemed indisputable; her fingerprints were on the gun that killed him and her skin tested positive for gunshot residue. She'd been known to be argumentative and passionate, qualities that earned her the nickname ''Crazy Casey'' thanks to a tell-all book by an ex-boyfriend. Even her family seemed to suspect her guilt. But now Casey is out of prison and determined to prove her innocence. Who better to help her than Laurie Moran and the ''Under Suspicion'' team? After hearing her case, Laurie promises to give her a fair hearing on her TV show and reinvestigate the circumstances of Hunter's death.

|author=Ben Aaronovitch
|summary=Tan and his family are scavengers - stone age scavengers. When a big cat makes a kill one of the family - the brand man - dashes in and frightens the big cat off its kill with a firy brand and one of the others snatches some of the meat for the family. If they don't get the meat then it's down to roots, insects or lizards. Some of the family are concerned about Wid, who grew, but his brain didn't and they don't see why they should hunt for meat to keep the boy alive. They're all for leaving him to the wolves. Tan won't have it and for the moment Wid is safe.

|author=Alan Bennett
|title=Keeping On Keeping On: Diaries 2005-2014
|rating=5
|genre=Autobiography
|summary=Alan Bennett's prose collections have been something to look forward to for years. They're a collection of excerpts from his diaries plus prose pieces of various lengths. I read ''Writing Home'' soon after publication - it was a Christmas present and I enjoyed it greatly, but it wasn't until I was deep into [[Untold Stories by Alan Bennett|Untold Stories]] that I realised the extent to which Bennett had been less than frank in ''Writing Home''. Bennett wrote ''Untold Stories'' in the knowledge that he had cancer and had only an even chance of survival: he assumed that his executors would make the decision as to what should be published. What ''was'' published - and by Bennett - was more open than the earlier work. ''Keeping On Keeping On'' follows and extends that trend.
