‘Ripping good fun’ The Times

‘Plotting is what sets this book apart’ Telegraph

At Deepdean School for Girls, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong have set up their own detective agency. But they are struggling to find any real crimes to investigate. (Unless you count the case of Lavinia’s missing tie. Which they don’t.)

Then Hazel discovers the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, lying dead in the Gym. To add to the mystery, when she and Daisy return five minutes later, the body has disappeared. Now Hazel and Daisy not only have a murder to solve: they have to prove one happened in the first place.

‘Enormous fun’ Irish Times

‘A skilful blend of golden era crime novel and boarding school romp . . . Top class’ Financial Times

‘I absolutely loved it’ Susie Day

New bookseller alert! We asked our newest bookworm, Laura, to introduce herself with one book she's loved in the last year:

‘The Appeal’ is an example of the perfect mystery thriller and Janice Hallett is a must read author if you are a fan of cosy crime. The book kept me guessing throughout, was full of surprises and was genuinely such a fun read! The mystery itself was full of intrigue, you truly do not know who to trust in this book so if you are a fan of an unreliable narrator I would highly recommend it. Hallett uses a multi-media format in her novels and this really aids the experience of her writing; the reader almost becomes a part of the story. If you want an easy and digestible read, look no further.

House of Books and Friends is thrilled to welcome Hélène Giannecchini to discuss her book ‘An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail’. The evening will entail a discussion, a Q&A, and the opportunity to get your book signed by Hélène Giannecchini!

24th March @ 6pm

Roving from Saint-Just’s revolutionary ideal of amity to Donna Gottschalk’s photography documenting radical lesbian organizing in 1960s and ’70s New York, interspersed with images acquired magpie-like through chance and circumstance, An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail forms a slantwise account of queer life in the twentieth century, and a moving testament to the liberatory power of friendship.
