Find out how different animals find food, stay safe and even just get a moment of peace and quiet. Whilst some families are loving, there are others whose relationships are a lot more dangerous.

The Secret of Abney Hall by Susan Brownrigg
Nurse Jane Goodbetter is charged with monitoring Agatha Christie as she recovers from her recent health scare at her sister's home, Abney Hall. However, the planned convalescence is anything but restful, when an amateur dramatics society descend upon them to rehearse and then a body is found in the frozen lake...
A brilliant read!
