Two amazing books.

Don't these two make a brilliant pairing?
And isn't Brighton an excellent setting for Peter James' Grace novels?
Though Grace could do with a bit of sartorial advice from his nattily dressed colleague Branson.
It's back on the small screen but if you'd prefer to catch up on the books, we have plenty of them in the library and also on Borrowbox as audiobooks, perfectly read by Daniel Weyman.

Marina Gibson swapped city for countryside in her 20's, and returned to her childhood pursuit of fishing, a passion passed on by her mother.
She found an escape from a failing marriage and a connection to a tradition of female anglers stretching back generations.
This book is a love letter to the water, and what it means to find peace and purpose in the great outdoors.

Her first novel 'More Than Murder' is available to reserve and her second novel ' The Body that Floats' should appear on the catalogue shortly.
