DEVIL’S REALM by Julie Jones Looking for a murder-mystery set in the area? Julie Jones has set her second book around Mill Bay and includes many of the places we know and love. On a fateful summer’s day, a boy plunges to his death from the cliffs. The tragic event is captured on film by the enigmatic Salcombe painter and entrepreneur Lois St John. Five years later, the boy’s father suffers the identical fate at the same location. James, Fiona and Katie Sinclair draw upon their pro- fessional expertise as a string of mysterious deaths follow. They uncover a web of corruption and foul play, which leads to the very top of the judicial system and the international art world.

Author Matt Parker explains what happens when maths goes wrong in real world situations and provides an extraordinary and amusing guide which would entertain the most number-phobic among us. Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near-misses and mishaps, Matt Parker shows us the bizarre ways maths trips us up and what this reveals about its essential place in our world.
THE PAPER BARK TREE MYSTERY by Ovidia Yu This is the fourth book in a the ‘Crown Colony’ series set in 1930’s Singapore. Su Lin is doing her dream job: assistant at Singapore’s new detective agency. Unfortunately, Bald Bernie decides a girl can’t be trusted with private investigations and replaces her with a new secretary. So, Su Lin’s not the only person finding it hard to mourn Bernie after he’s found dead in the filing room. When her best friend’s father is accused, she gets up to some sleuthing work of her own. Was he really the upright English citizen he claimed to be? Yu, a popular novelist and playwright in Singapore, recreates the pre-war era in detail and is highly recommended.
THE LOST TIDE WARRIORS by Catherine Doyle We really enjoyed the first book in this new series. Its mix of legends, adven- ture and action was skilfully done. In the brilliant sequel to ‘The Storm Keep- er’s Island’, Fionn Boyle finds himself at the heart of the fight for the island’s survival. He’s been Storm Keeper of Ar- ranmore for less than six months when thousands of terrifying Soulstalkers arrive on the island. Nobody else believes the ferocious sea creatures even exist. And how can he prove he’s right without any magic? As Fionn begins his search for the lost army, the other islanders prepare for invasion.
