Book of the Month: Before I Go to Sleep
S J Watson
The hook for this award-winning novel is irresistible. When Christine wakes up next to a married man she doesn’t recognise, with no idea how she got there, she assumes it’s the result of a drunken one-night stand. But when the man tells her that he’s her husband, and they’ve been married for 22 years, the scene is set for an ingenious psychological thriller which roller-coasts to finale which will have you gripped to the last page.

Book of the Week: Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be
Caroline Stafford
This wonderfully readable biography of Lionel Bart, composer of the musical Oliver!, depicts a man who was every bit as complex as the Dickensian characters who propelled him to fame and fortune: charming, insecure, generous, selfish, infuriating, promiscuous and wildly hubristic. By the age of 30 he was a millionaire. But the failure of later musicals led to a downward spiral of drug addiction and alcoholism resulting in his death at the age of 69 while living in a flat in Acton. A fascinating read about a showbiz character.
