WORTH DYING FOR by Lee Child There is deadly trouble in the bleak farmlands of Nebraska – and Jack Reacher walks right into it. When he hitchhiked by, he should have just kept on going, but that’s not his style. He wants answers to the incidents that crop up the moment he hits town. The Duncan clan have a hold over the terrified county families that he sees at every turn. Even the local doctor would rather take another slug of whisky at the lonely motel bar than treat a woman who’s obviously a victim of violence. Whoever’s destroying these people’s lives, Reacher wants to meet them. And he’s not too polite to make the first move. DAMBUSTER by Robert Radcliffe The saga of Britain’s heroic dambusters was one of the greatest true stories to come out of the Second World War. Tense, thrilling and meticulously researched, this novel fives new insight into the personal sacrifices of those who flew the gigantic Lancaster bombers over occupied Europe. The crew in this particular Lancaster consists of two Englishmen, a Canadian, an American, an Australian and a New Zealander. Different nationalities, same mission: to bomb three dams in the heavily defended Ruhr Valley, Germany’s industrial heartland, and to rip the guts out of Hitler’s war machine. THE PROVENCE CURE FOR THE BROKENHEARTED by Bridget Asher Still mourning the loss of her husband, Heidi travels from the east coast of America to the south of Grance with Abbott, her eight-year-old son. She also takes Charlotte, her jaded teenage niece, who is not impressed with the crumbling stone Provençal farmhouse that has been in Heidi’s family for decades. When Heidi was a child she thrilled to the romantic story of how it was built – but since her mother made a mysterious visit there, no one has been back. Is there any magic left, to cast its spell over the unhappy trio who arrive there for the summer. STAGESTRUCK by Peter Lovesey Because of a childhood experience, Chief Inspector Peter Diamond has a phobia about theatres, and he is not keen to approach Bath’s Theatre Royal when a dead body is found behind the scenes after the curtain comes down. But the old stage, steeped in tradition and superstition, is now the setting for a murder mystery – and it’s Diamond’s duty to investigate. A pop diva’s face has been badly disfigured by her make-up as she begins her acting debut in Bath. The person most likely to have caused the accident is the woman who has just been pushed from a catwalk high above the stage. A star’s make-up artist is dead – but why? Hardcover, 575 pages in total.
