The Hanging Girl by Jussi Adler-Olsen – 3rd September
We absolutely loved this Department Q thriller, in which Carl Mørck and his team investigate the case of a vibrant young girl found dead and hanging in a tree. With a strange sun worshipping cult at the heart of the investigation, this haunting and morose tale will keep you hooked throughout.

Devoted in Death by J D Robb – 17th September
It may only be September, but we’re already thinking about winter after Robb’s chilling police procedural about a pair of sadistic lovers who travel around the US satisfying their lust for murder and leaving a trail of grisly crime scenes in their wake. Slick, sharp and unforgettable; this is a highly recommended read.

We couldn’t stop guessing throughout.
