Century The Long Weekend Macmillan Gilly

By the time you read this, I'll have killed one of your husbands • In an isolated retreat, deep in the Northumbria moors, three women arrive for a weekend getaway • Their husbands will be joining them in the morning. Or so they think • But when they get to Dark Fell Barn, the women find a devastating note that claims one of their husbands has been murdered. Their phones are out of range. There's no internet. They're stranded. And a storm's coming in • Friendships fracture and the situation spins out of control as each wife tries to find out what's going on, who is responsible and which husband has been targeted • This was a tight-knit group. They've survived a lot. But they won't weather this. Because someone has decided that enough is enough • That it's time for a reckoning

In a gorgeous quay-side hotel in Cornwall, the long weekend is just beginning • Claire Marlowe owns 'The Townhouse by the Sea' with Luca, the hotel's charismatic chef. She ensures everything runs smoothly - until an unexpected arrival checks in and turns her whole world upside down • And the rest of the guests arrive with their own baggage. There's a couple looking for distraction from a family tragedy; a man trying to make amends for an affair he bitterly regrets...and the young woman who thinks the Cornish village might hold the key to her past • Here are affairs of the heart, secrets, lies and scandal - all wrapped up in one long, hot weekend

Нет ничего прекраснее английского загородного дома летом. И никогда еще не было такого лета, как то бабье лето между двумя мировыми войнами, периода плавного упадка, когда солнце медленно садилось над Британской империей, а тени удлинялись на лужайках тысяч величественных домов • Реальная жизнь в загородном доме в 1920-1930-е годы не всегда была такой солнечной. То богатые, то обычные, благородные и порочные, но их тени становились все темнее. В «Длинных выходных» Адриан Тиннисвуд раскрывает правду о полузабытом мире, окутанном мифами и скрытом за жесткими губами и улыбками кинозвезды • Опираясь на сотни мемуаров, неопубликованные письма и дневники, на свидетельства очевидцев подпоясанных графов, несчастных наследниц и задиристых дворецких, The Long Weekend дает голос людям, населяющим этот мир, и показывает, как образ загородного дома тщательно охранялся обитателями над и под лестницей, и что реальность оказалась намного интереснее мечты

The first official story of the Red Arrows, from their 'Top Gun' and commander, celebrating the history of Britain's world-famous flying squad • The Red Arrows represent the very best speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force, and the pilots behind the planes are rigorously selected for their nerves of steel, lightning reflexes, and millisecond-perfect timing • Written by the head of the Red Arrows, Wing Commander David Montenegro - a former Red Arrows lead pilot - and full of never-before-shared tales from pilots, past and present, this thrilling history celebrates the courage, daring and incredible skill of the Red Arrows pilots over the last 60 years

The Extra Mile is no ordinary sports memoir. But Kevin Sinfield is no ordinary sportsman. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defence coach for the England national rugby union team, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in recent years has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless and extraordinary fundraising for motor neurone disease (MND), the terminal illness that has affected his best mate and former teammate Rob Burrow • Sinfield's epic challenges have included running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days, and running over 101 miles in 24 hours. In the process, Sinfield has captured the hearts of the nation and over 7 million pounds for MND. He was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday honours for his efforts, along with the Freedom of Leeds and a special BBC Award for his fundraising

Be careful what you wish for • Nicole and Tom's lives are changed overnight by a ten-million-pound lottery win • Before they know it they've moved into a state-of-the-art Glass Barn conversion in the stunning grounds of Lancaut Manor in Gloucestershire • But their dream quickly turns into a nightmare when Tom is found dead in the swimming pool, with a wound on his head • Someone close to home must be responsible. But other than the young couple who live in the Manor, and their housekeeper in the Coach House next door, there's no one around for miles • Who among them is capable of murder?

Three university students go on holiday to a remote part of Wales. They are going to stay in a cottage without electricity or a telephone in a remote part of the country. But who is the bearded man that haunts them

No stockings, no gifts, no tinsel and no tree - has Christmas been cancelled? • It's mid-December and for the fifth year in a row, there is little sign of the festive season in the Sullivan family's home in South London. That is until a mysterious someone starts sending strange gifts to widower Henry and his two children • First, a small-beaked and feathered face pokes its head out from between the branches of a pear tree. Before they know it, the Sullivan's home is full of boisterous animals and house guests, all demanding their attention • The next twelve days turn the Sullivan family's lives upside down in ways they never could have imagined. And even though this Christmas will be messy, it may be just the gift their family needs

Eighteen-year-old Emma has loving parents and a promising future ahead of her • So why, one morning, does she leave home without a trace? • Her parents, Cath and Jim, are devastated. They have no idea why Emma left, where she is - or even whether she is still alive • A year later, Cath and Jim are still tormented by the unanswered questions Emma left behind, and clinging desperately to the hope of finding her • Meanwhile, tantalisingly close to home, Emma is also struggling with her new existence - and with the trauma that shattered her life • For all of them, reconciliation seems an impossible dream. Does the way forward lie in facing up to the secrets of the past - secrets that have been hidden for years? • Secrets that have the power to heal them, or to destroy their family forever

One murder. One impossible case. Who is guilty? • When hero policeman Grant Cliveden dies from a poisoning in the Old Bailey, it threatens to shake the country to its core • The evidence points to one man.
