The Cornish Honeymoon Murder
Everyone always says that your honeymoon should be a holiday to remember… 'This is a cosy series which is like a hug, I love the main protagonists and the locations’ ? 'The characters are what draw me back to this series, and also the humour’ ? *** Ex-Metropolitan Police sergeant Jodie Parker and her new husband, DCI Nathan Withers, are honeymooning at a luxurious eco-resort on a secluded Cornish island. But there's a twist: they're undercover, as the resort’s owner has hired them to investigate a series of sabotages, and Jodie's mum Shirley and daughter Daisy – and their dog, Germaine – have somehow managed to get themselves invited along too. The happy couple plan to make the most of the five star facilities, while discreetly questioning staff and guests. However, when a fierce storm traps everyone on the island, tragedy strikes – a guest is found dead in the wreckage of the boathouse, and it looks like murder… With a killer among them, it’s up to Jodie and Nathan to solve the mystery before another life is lost. Praise for Fiona Leitch 'This book is like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day… The cozy vibes and delightful side characters made it such an enjoyable escape’ ? 'Luxury resort and locked room tropes?

'A fun, lively read that kept me guessing – the best kind of whodunnit!’ ? 'I cannot get enough of this series, if you love mysteries set in England this is for you!’ ? 'It felt like I was right there on the beach with Jodie and Nathan, enjoying their “honeymoon” (or should I say, undercover work)’ ? 'Oozing with mystery, style and unforgettable characters – I'm transported into a world of delightful intrigue and murderous mystery, and all home in time for tea. Absolutely fantastic.' Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives 'Leitch’s writing had me snorting with laughter and whizzing through the pages!' Clare Chase, author of the Eve Mallow mysteries

The book we need to understand China today: a riveting, first-hand account of its seismic progress from an indispensable expert voice
For close to a decade, Dan Wang has been observing China's tumultuous and astounding growth. The state has constructed towering bridges, gleaming railways and sprawling factories to improve economic outcomes in record time. But rapid change has also sent ripples of pain throughout society.
China has grown so quickly in part by beating America at its own game: capitalism and harnessing the restless energy of a vast population. Here Wang blends political and economic analysis with reportage into a provocative new framework for understanding China - one that helps us see America more clearly, too. Whereas China is an engineering state, relentlessly building big, the United States has transformed into a lawyerly society, stalling every attempt to make change, both good and bad.
As relations between the US and China are tense and uncertain and the potential for dreadful conflict looms, Wang offers an inventive new way of thinking about the two superpowers. Breakneck reveals that each country points towards a better path for the other. How much better the world would be, he argues, if Americans could live in a society not only governed by lawyers, and Chinese citizens could live with a state that values their individual liberties.
