Boand: The book I most wanted to read this year and so sad the series has now ended, although already knew the end anyway! It does not disappoint and was a joy to read.

Boand: Another favourite from the Bryant & May series. Truly wonderful setting in the underground waterways of London which has always enthralled me. Another original and ingenious plot line which also deals with the reality of refugees living below the streets of London.

Boand: This biography was so unexpected and by turns shocking, sad and uplifting. I would never have read it at all had Lady Glenconner not gone on Graham Norton’s chat show. Also well worth a read to hear the behind the scenes stories from her time as Princess Maragaret’s lady in waiting and friend.
