A brand-new series perfect for Richard Osman readers and all fans
of a page-turning whodunnit.It was meant to be the start of quiet
season in the sleepy Cornish village of Seal Bay, but not for
sexagenarian librarian and wild swimming enthusiast Morwenna
Mutton. Because when a local businessman is found on the beach with
a bread knife is his back, bungling police officer DI Rick Tremayne
is soon out of his depth. Morwenna knows it’s going to be down to
her to crack the case. The list of people the victim upset is long,
the evidence is slight, and an arrest illusive. Morwenna has plenty
to occupy her time what with ghostly goings-on at the library and
skullduggery at her granddaughter’s school, but she could never
resist a challenge. And even the most ruthless of murderers should
quake at the sight of this amateur sleuth getting on her bike to
track them down. If you love Miss Marple and The Thursday Murder
Club, then you'll love The Morwenna Mutton mysteries. Readers love

The Old Girls' Network comes a story of two sisters in their golden
years embarking on the holiday of a lifetime, to find love,
friendship and new adventures. Molly's seventieth birthday comes as
a shock. The woman in the mirror looks every day of those seventy
years, but inside Molly feels she still has so much more living
left to do. Widowed and living alone with her cat, Molly fears she
is slipping into a cliche of old age. When Molly's sister Nell
appears on her doorstep, distraught that her husband of more than
forty years, Phil, has left her for a younger lover, the women
decide to seize the day. By the morning, flights are booked, bags
are packed, and they're off to Spain. The sun, the sea, the new
friends and the freedom are just the tonic for broken hearts and
flagging souls. But even Spain isn't enough to revive Molly's
spirit so she decides to head off for a solo journey to continue to
chase the sun and to chase happiness. Will she find what she's
looking for in a new country, or will she discover that true
contentment can't be found on a map? But it might just be found in
a new flame... Judy Leigh is back, with her trademark spirit of

Val is determined to make lemonade. Settled into her new home - a
picture-perfect fisherman's cottage in the small Cornish seaside
town of Lowenstowe - Val is ready to start a new chapter. And with
her son due to get married next Christmas, there's also the little

and his new girlfriend. With the support of her neighbour Connie,

remember how the single life works, let alone what her type is?
There seem to be plenty of Mr Maybes, but no sign of Mr Right. As

follow a trail of puzzling text messages to bring her home. When

Never say never to falling in love...Val didn't expect to be
starting again in her seventies, but when life gives her lemons,
Val is determined to make lemonade. Settled into her new home - a
picture-perfect fisherman's cottage in the small Cornish seaside
town of Lowenstowe - Val is ready to start a new chapter. And with
her son due to get married next Christmas, there's also the little
job of finding herself a plus-one to help her face her ex-husband
and his new girlfriend. With the support of her neighbour Connie,
and after decades of married life, Val takes the plunge back into
the world of dating with trepidation and excitement. But can she
remember how the single life works, let alone what her type is?
There seem to be plenty of Mr Maybes, but no sign of Mr Right. As
the year passes, and as friendships and community life flourish,
Val begins to blossom. And as Christmas approach, she might just
decide she doesn't need that plus-one after all - although never
say never... Judy Leigh is back with her trademark promise of
laughter, love and friendship. The perfect feel-good novel for all
fans of Dawn French, Dee Macdonald and Cathy Hopkins. Readers love

It's always a good time for a road trip... When 82-year-old Lil
decides to book herself, her 65-year-old daughter, Cassie, and her
friend Maggie on a bus trip across Europe, she hopes for a little
adventure to counteract the monotony of life. Along with three

set out on their great adventure. From moving moments on the
beaches of Normandy, outrageous adventures in Amsterdam, to the
beauty of Bruges and gastronomic delights of France, the holiday is
just the tonic Lil, Maggie and Cassie needed. And as the time
approaches for them to head home, Lil makes an unexpected discovery
- even in her advancing years, men are like buses - there isn't one
for ages then two come along at once. Is Lil ready to share her
golden years, and can the ladies embrace the fresh starts that the
trip has given them. Or is it just too late to change... Judy Leigh

The most uplifting book you'll read this year!'Judy's done it
again. Every woman over a certain age should read this wonderful
book.' Jennifer Bohnet It has been a long and lonely year for
neighbours Vivienne, Mary and Gwen. All ladies of a 'certain age',
their lockdown experience has left them feeling isolated and alone.
They are in desperate need of a change. Things start to look up
however, when Gwen comes up with a plan to get them out of London
by borrowing a motor home. In no time at all the ladies are on the
road - away from the city, away from their own four walls, and away
from their worries. The British countryside has never looked more
beautiful. As they travel from Stonehenge to Dartmoor, from the
Devon and Cornish coasts to the Yorkshire moors, gradually the
years fall back, and the three friends start to imagine new futures
with no limitations. And as their journey continues and their
friendships deepen, and while the seaside views turn into glorious
mountains and moors, Mary, Vivienne and Gwen learn to smile again,
to laugh again, and maybe even to love again. Now they can believe
that the best is still to come... Funny, joyful and with a spring
in its step that reminds you to live every day like it's your last.

Growing old disgracefully and having a grand old time...Billy and
Dawnie may be in their seventies, but that won't stop them taking
chances or starting again. Their grown-up children have families
and lives of their own, so now it's Billy and Dawnie's turn, and a
life near the sea in Devon beckons. But the residents of Margot
Street (or Maggot Street as Dawnie insists on calling it), don't
quite know what to make of their new neighbours. Billy's loud,
shiny and huge Harley Davidson looks out of place next to the safe
and sensible Honda Jazz next door, and Dawnie's never-ending range
of outrageous wigs and colourful clothes, means she's impossible to
miss. As new friendships are formed and new adventures are shared,
Billy and Dawnie start winning their neighbours' affection. And
when life teaches them all a terrible lesson, the folks of Margot
Street are determined to live every day as if it's their last. Judy
Leigh returns with a soul-warming, rib-tickling, timeless tale of
true love, true friendship and happy-ever-afters. Praise for Judy
