|title=Born Scared
|summary=In the beginning it was simple. C J Kavanaugh, formerly of the Drugs Enforcement Agency but now making a living as Private Investigator was employed to prove that a man was having an adulterous affair. Antonio Fahrletti had confounded half a dozen PIs who'd been unable to prove that he was being unfaithful to his wife, but CJ was determined to be the one who got the proof. Luck was on his side, but not, it would seem, on Fahrletti's. In the meantime Clinton Windell ''knew'' that luck was on his side: he'd brought home twenty million dollars of uncut gems. The board hadn't believed that he could do it and a large part of his pleasure was that he was proving them wrong.

|author= Jan-Philipp Sendker
|title= Dragon Games
|rating= 4
|genre= Crime
|summary= The putative cover of my advance copy of ''Dragon Games'' ties it to the international bestseller ''The Art of Hearing Heartbeats'' – Sendker's first offering in English translation. I'm hoping that the final edition that hits the market will have the confidence to reference ''Whispering Shadows'' to which this is the direct sequel. My hope is because the step between the first two Burmese books and the modern China mystery ones is a significant one. Many readers will love both, but I think the less lyrical, more prosaic, dare I say more political approach of the Chinese stories has a wider readership. It is a readership Sendker deserves.

|title= Lydia: The Wild Girl of Pride and Prejudice
|rating= 5
|genre=Teens
|summary=Lydia Bennet has just turned fifteen and has received, amongst other gifts, a diary from her bookish older sister Mary. She'd rather have received some ribbon or some lace; after all, writing in a diary every day seems such a tedious pastime. But when a handsome regiment of scarlet-coats arrives in Meryton, Lydia decides that there just might be something exciting to write about after all...
