About The Book Book: AdriftAuthor: Will DeanStandalone or Series: Standalone Publisher: Hodder Publication Date (UK): 19th February 2026 My Review Adrift takes place in the Midlands in 1994. Samson is fourteen and lives on a narrowboat with his mother, Peggy, and father, Drew. The book is full of nostalgia for those who grew up in working class Northern towns in the 90s, though hopefully not too much mind.

The Truth About Ruby Cooper by Liz Nugent review
About The Book Book: The Truth About Ruby CooperAuthor: Liz NugentStandalone or Series: Standalone Publisher: Penguin SandycovePublication Date (UK): 12th March 2026 My Review "For the second time in six weeks, I woke up with the wrong husband." Well the first line from the prologue is up there with the opening for Strange Sally Diamond, so the book was already off to a good start! The Truth About Ruby Cooper is another book from this year that I really wanted to read prior to the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival next month.

In fact during the last book blogger meet I attended, people were covertly trying to chat about it so I quickly ran off to another area of the bookshop to avoid any spoilers!

About The Book Book: Mad MabelAuthor: Sally Hepworth Standalone or Series: Standalone Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publication Date (UK): 9th July 2026 My Review What a brilliant read! Hepworth is a new to me author. Mad Mabel comes under crime fiction, whilst the cover may look more on the cosy side and the book features touching relationships between neighbours as well as the young and the old, it's content is also very dark at times.

The Hollow Boys by Tariq Ashkanani review
About The Book Book: The Hollow Boys Author: Tariq Ashkanani Standalone or Series: Standalone Publisher: Viper Books Publication Date (UK): 14th May 2026 My Review Ashkanani's previous book, The Midnight King, was one of my favourite reads of last year, so I was excited to get my hands on a proof of The Hollow Boys. Set in the small town of Aurora, Oregon, the book opens with a bang as we find the mother of a missing child performing some sort of dark ritual.
