Bring Me Back by
B. A. Paris

a driving holiday through France stop to get petrol. He goes to pay, she

written, gripping thriller with a killer twist.

book written from two points of view. A retired successful New York lawyer and
a well-known novelist with writers block, are irresistibly dawn to visit Israel
to rethink their existence. Only once they are there, they find their lives being
altered in a way they could never have imagined.
The Keeper of
Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
A charming, clever, and quietly moving debut novel of endless possibilities and joyful discoveries that explores the promises we make and break, losing and finding ourselves, the objects that hold magic and meaning for our lives, and the surprising connections that bind us.
