Flaptekst van de nieuwe thriller van Katherine Faulkner

They’re not looking for what you think they are…

The play date started well. The children happy in one room while their mothers relaxed and drank wine in another.

But then the stranger appeared at the window. And then he was inside the house. And then he grabbed the knife…

Alice only means to stop him. She doesn’t mean to hit him so hard. She didn’t mean to kill him.

The police conclude that she acted in self-defence, but wracked with guilt, Alice sets out to apologise to Linda, the mother of the young man she killed – only to find she is unable to come clean about who she really is. But as Alice learns more about Ezra and why he was at her house, she starts to wonder whether she really has the full picture about what happened that day…

This latest simmering suspense novel from the internationally bestselling Katherine Faulkner is a unputdownable must-read that will have you hooked from the first twist to the last.

Katherine Faulkner is a London-based author and journalist. She studied History at Cambridge University, graduating with a First, then completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Newspaper Journalism. Since then she has been working as an investigative reporter and latterly an editor. Her work has been published in many national papers, and she most recently worked at The Times, where she was the joint Head of News. She was inspired to write her debut novel about the complexity of female friendships after attending NCT classes when pregnant, and her experience of sudden intimacy with complete strangers. She lives in Hackney, East London, where she grew up, with her husband and two daughters.

Amy Gray – Red Duchess Kitty Atholl

Amy Gray Red Duchess Kitty Atholl biografie review, recensie en informatie van het boek over de eerste vrouwelijke MP in Schotland. Op 18 september 2025 verschijnt bij The History Press de biografie van Kitty Atholl, A Rebel in Westminster. Het boek is geschreven door Amy Gray.

Amy Gray Red Duchess Kitty Atholl biografie review en recensie

  • “With this admirable book, Amy Gray puts the Duchess of Atholl back where she belongs, in the front row of twentieth century politics. Meticulous research and illuminating use of contemporary sources make Red Duchess a fascinating and hugely valuable addition to the political and social history of the period.” (Professor John Bew)
  • “Before Margaret Thatcher, before Barbara Castle, there was Katharine Stewart-Murray, the ‘Red Duchess’ of Atholl and one of the great female pioneers of UK politics. Amy Gray’s deeply-researched biography compellingly reconstructs her moral clarity, her unequivocal human rights campaigns against the “twin totalitarianisms” of Fascism and Communism, and her profound impact on the lives of glittering contemporaries such as Winston Churchill and Samuel Coleridge Taylor. In Gray, this unjustly forgotten heroine has finally found the biographer she deserves.” (Kate Malby)

Flaptekst van de biografie van Kitty Atholl

A pioneering female politician who thought women didn’t need the vote; a Conservative who shared platforms with communists; a shy public speaker who travelled the world speaking for Spanish refugees: the formidable Duchess of Atholl was full of contradictions.

Born into an ancient Scottish family and married to a philandering duke, Kitty rose above the constraints of class and convention to become a tireless advocate for women and children. By her election as the first Scottish female MP in 1923, she was one of the most prominent women in Scotland – and that was well before she shocked Westminster with outspoken rebellions against her own government.

She stood with Spanish refugees and challenged fascism, visited war zones and campaigned with her political opponents, criticised tyrants and wrote her own political playbook. In Red Duchess Kitty Atholl’s extraordinary life is brought to the spotlight she has long deserved – a compelling story of courage, conviction and a woman who refused to play by the rules.

Amy Gray has spent fifteen years working in public affairs and politics and has stood for Parliament twice. She splits her time between Cambridge and Scotland with her husband and two children.

Flaptekst van de Engelse roman uit 1929

First published in 1929, Wolf Solent was the first in John Cowper Powys’ great sequence of visionary works of fiction, set in Hardy’s Wessex but a Wessex now ravaged by the impact of the Great War and the curse of modernity. Both a lyrical story of the English countryside and an agonised account of life and love in the shadow of monstrous change, Wolf Solent is a cult novel like no other.

John Cowper Powys was born on 8 Octobre 1872 in Shirley, Derbyshire, Engeland was a novelist and poet. He lived a highly itinerant life, including some years as a successful lecturer criss-crossing the USA and Canada. His major novels include Wolf Solent, A Glastonbury Romance, Weymouth Sands and Maiden Castle. He died on 17 June 1963 in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Wales, 90 years of age.

Flaptekst van het boek over de Engelse voetbalclub Luton Town

The story of Luton Town FC from 2014 to the present-day when the club rose from non-League to the Premier League, the only club to achieve this feat.

For five seasons from 2009-10 Luton Town FC were a non-League side. The club, which had known success for several periods in its history in the top division of English football, had been brought to this low point due to mismanagement and financial irregularities. Finally, after years of play-off pain Luton Town FC won promotion from the Conference Premier back to the League in 2013-14. This was the start of their unprecedented journey which saw Luton Town rise to the Premier League over the next nine years. To date, no other club has achieved this feat. This is the remarkable story of how this club with a tiny budget managed to reach the Premier League in a space of less than a decade. A nail-biting win on penalties in the Championship play off final at Wembley in 2023 saw Luton hosting some of the richest clubs in the world in arguably the world’s most competitive football league in its humble long-standing Kenilworth Road stadium at the start of 2023-24.

In this book, Rob Hadgraft who has been a season-ticket holder at Luton Town since the 1970s tells the story of Luton’s remarkable and unprecedented rise, widely acknowledged in the media as ‘football’s greatest fairytale’, ‘miraculous’ and ‘against all odds’. The rise from non-League obscurity in 2014 to arrival at football’s top table in 2023 is little short of a miracle – especially given Luton’s self-imposed budgetary restrictions and their ancient and tiny stadium. He tells the story from the viewpoint of a committed follower, mixing humour with the more serious background aspects of the journey.

Rob Hadgraft was in 1955 in Luton. He spent sixteen years working in regional newspapers as a news and sports reporter and sub-editor, before a spell in public relations in London. Within ten years or so of turning freelance in the year 2000, some sixteen sports books in his name had been published, 11 of them focussing on football club history, plus a series of five acclaimed biographies of famous runners of yesteryear. He has been short-listed for the William Hill Sportsbook of the Year award, and is a well-known author, blogger and the Luton Town Supporters’ Club’s editor.

Flaptekst van het boek over de Triumph Razoredge auto

The post-war traditional coach-built Triumph cars. Published to coincide with the Golden Anniversary of the Triumph Razoredge Owners Club.

The Triumph Razoredge cars were the last of the traditionally styled British coach-built cars to be produced in the post-war period. In this, the first book to be devoted to the various models under the Razoredge name between 1946 and 1954, Triumph Razoredge expert John Bath describes the development of the models after the acquisition of Triumph by the Standard Motor Company in 1944. The models, which were designed to compete with upmarket cars produced by Rover, Jaguar and others, included the 1800 saloon, the 2000 saloon, both versions of the Triumph Renown and the limousine version. The various evolutions and changes in the models, such as the use of a Standard chassis and the Standard Vanguard drivetrain, as well as both interior and exterior design modifications, are documented here. A smaller model produced by Triumph, known as the Mayflower, which was largely aimed at the American market, is also touched on.

Flaptekst van het boek over voetbalclub Leeds United in de jaren zeventig

The story of Leeds United in the 1970s when the club reached its peak under Manager Don Revie as arguably the best team in Europe although dogged by controversy, before its decline under a sequence of managers following Revie.

Rarely has any club courted as much controversy, ill feeling and bad press as Leeds United in the 1970s. Manager Don Revie had transformed them from a struggling Second Division outfit at the beginning of the 1960s to being arguably the best team in Europe, but they were dogged by the ‘Dirty Leeds’ tag for years. This book covers the period from Leeds United winning their first league championship in 1969 through to the end of 1979, including the heartbreaking treble disappointment of 1970, the FA Cup win in 1972, the shock defeat against Sunderland in 1973, the second title triumph of 1974 and the devastating defeat to Bayern Munch in the 1975 European Cup final. Read about the controversies of match-fixing allegations against Don Revie and the succession of managers who failed to match up to Revie’s legacy, including Brian Clough and Jock Stein. The period was littered with controversy, criticism and some famous feuds with Bob Stokoe, Alan Hardaker and Brian Clough as United singlehandedly ushered in an era of near-to-the-knuckle professionalism and gamesmanship.

Dave Tomlinson is the owner of the Mighty Whites website and a passionate Leeds United fan. He has written a number of books on sport and Leeds United, including three books for Amberley Publishing – Leeds United: A History, Leeds United in the 1980s en 1990s, Leeds United in the 21st Century and Billy Bremner: Fifty Defining Fixtures. He lives in Leeds.

Flaptekst van het boek over geschiedenis van de stad Brighton

A celebration of Brighton’s individual and often strange history – from eccentric characters to odd events and places.

Brighton and Hove is one of England’s most recent cities and also one of its most colourful and eccentric. It developed as a fashionable resort in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, becoming inextricably linked with the extravagant behaviour of George IV and his fantastical Pavilion. In this book author Christopher Horlock delves into lesser-known but fascinating tales from Brighton’s past. Readers will find stories of the man who walked round the world wearing a medieval iron helmet, a shark attack straight out of the film Jaws, the time Brighton built its own version of Nelson’s Column, plus when the streets were full of hundreds of marauding zombies. And it also includes that notorious naked bike ride that takes place each year.

Quirky Brighton celebrates the unusual and bizarre history of the town and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Brighton (and occasionally Hove) will interest all those who want to know more about its curious history.

Christopher Horlock is an author and avid collector of old photographs of Brighton. He writes regularly for ‘Sussex Life’ magazine and has previously written history books for a local publisher as well Amberley.
