The eighth Campbell and Carter mystery from much-loved crime writer Ann Granger is sure to appeal to fans of her Mitchell and Markby mysteries, as well as to fans of Richard Osman''s The Thursday Murder Club series.When Jerry Harrison receives an unwelcome visitor at his remote Cotswold cottage one winter''s night, the last thing he expects is to end up dead. But, next morning, his cleaners find him fatally stabbed and the police have a murder inquiry on their hands.At first, Inspector Jess Campbell and Superintendent Ian Carter aren''t sure of the victim''s identity, but it''s not long before a neighbour, Eleanor Holder, comes forward with her opinions on the deceased. Jerry Harrison was not a popular man in the village of Weston St Ambrose; his aunt''s tragic death led to him inheriting her cottage and many of the locals still see him as an outsider.With no witnesses coming forward and very little evidence to go on, Jess and Ian must dig deep to find the answers to this baffling case. But not before another villager is attacked and left for dead . . .Praise for Ann Granger''s crime novels:''Characterisation, as ever with Granger, is sharp and astringent'' The Times''Her usual impeccable plotting is fully in place'' Good Book Guide''A clever and lively book'' Margaret Yorke''This engrossing story looks like the start of a highly enjoyable series'' Scotsman

In these pages she provides: - Science-based advice to recognize the first signs of puberty and navigate the changes to come. - Candid and actionable guidance for getting your kids to talk about anxiety, depression and their complicated feelings. - Insight into the changing world of gender and sexual identity, and how to guide your child through this complicated new landscape. - A thoughtful and sensitive discussion of how race intersects with puberty and mental health, and how all parents can approach this mindfully and inclusively. - A clear explanation of the invisible threads linking mood swings, self-image and social media exposure. - Road-tested, real-world guidance to handle bullies, mean girls and other friendship and social challenges.

''A superbly revealing account of a dreadful and profoundly sad war'' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL''This extraordinary book gives us a unique insight into why and how Japan fought such an appalling war'' NICK HEWERA new perspective on Japan during the Asia-Pacific War, using remarkable first-hand Japanese source material.Even after eighty years since the end of a conflict that killed thirty-five million people, there remains deeply-felt bitterness and anger about the way the Asia-Pacific War was fought, especially by the Japanese. The war in the East stretched from Hawaii to India - with Japanese forces attacking Singapore, China and Malaysia, as well as bombing the north coast of Australia. The Allied forces, led by the US, waged an island-by-island counteroffensive that eventually saw the invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan has been vilified for the countless examples of its cruelty to civilians and prisoners of war. These criticisms have led to a backlash in Japan, where many deny that the accusations are true. By going back to the origins of modern Japan, and by using only Japanese accounts, Japan''s War: Hirohito''s Holy War against the West offers a powerful account of the conflict and explains in detail why the Japanese conducted the war in the way that they did.
