|title=Over My Dead Body
|author=Hazel McHaffie
|rating=4
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=The mother of a patient in dire need of a heart, and a pair of lungs, ceases to pray for the survival of her son for the following uncomfortable reason: 'Feels like you're asking for somebody else to die.' Though merely an extra in the main plot of McHaffie's ''Over My Dead Body'', the situation of this mother quite successfully conveys just how complex the ethics of organ donation are.

|summary=There can be no confusion in the name of the latest Tania Carver novel. ''The Dolls House'' well and truly sums it up, which is made clear as the book opens in a very pink, very well laid out lounge with a living doll, also dressed in pink, arranging the room until it is spotless. Aside from the slightly ominous undertones and the repetition that everything must be perfect; the reader could almost be forgiven for initially thinking they haven’t picked up a crime novel at all. It soon becomes obvious that this isn’t the case though as we follow DI Phil Brennan back into that same room with the doll sat straight-backed at the precisely laid out dinner table. This time though, the doll is dead.
