"http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/w/index.php?title=W_J_Burley%27s_Wycliffe_Novels_in_Chronological_Order&oldid=154651" RAVEN BLACK BY ANN CLEEVES Raven Black won the Crime Writers' Association Duncan Lawrie Dagger for 2006. It is the first Ann Cleeves book I've read, and it won't be the last. It's a neatly constructed novel, perfectly paced and beautifully written – the psychological crime story meets the old-fashioned whodunit. CALL FOR THE DEAD BY JOHN LE CARRE Call for the Dead by John le Carre. Summary: A senior civil servant commits suicide after a security vetting interview, even though he was cleared. The man who interviewed him cannot believe he would take his own life. The tense and atmospheric debut of George Smiley is a good,satisfying read.
FALLEN BY KARIN SLAUGHTER ISBN: 978-1846057946. Faith Mitchell is not having a good day. A three-hour training seminar had stretched into four-and-a-half-hours, which meant that not only was she late picking up her baby daughter from her mothers' she was also starving hungry. This mattered more than it would for most of us, because Faith is diabetic. C J SANSOM'S MATTHEW SHARDLAKE NOVELS IN CHRONOLOGICAL C J Sansom's Matthew Shardlake Novels in Chronological Order. Although the Shardlake novels read well as stand-alone books it is best to read them in chronolgical order. There are no spoilers as such but knowledge, say, that a character is a friend in later books does mean that you dismiss them as suspects in a current book. MY SISTER LIVES ON THE MANTELPIECE BY ANNABEL PITCHER My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece is sad and it's funny and it's sweet and it's many, many things, all at the same time. Jamie's voice is the element of the book that really stands out. He tells it as he sees it and although he gets things wrong sometimes - he's only ten, after all - mostly, he gets things exactly right. THE BONE SPARROW BY ZANA FRAILLON And the nice guard, Harvey. He also has the Great Sea. And one day, the Great Sea brings him a new friend. Jimmie is real. She's a real girl from outside the fence. And, in her own way, Jimmie is looking for freedom, too. Oh, man. The Bone Sparrow is a lovely, lovely story. It is painful to read and sad at times. TEACHER'S DEAD BY BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH Teacher's Dead by Benjamin Zephaniah. Summary: Powerful and hard-hitting, this is the kind of topical, real life novel that all children, but particularly urban children, can engage with. It confronts their prejudices and challenges them with some big issues, but it is unashamedly accessible and democratic. BOOK REVIEWS FROM THE BOOKBAG It never does to start a review of a book with a quote from the blurb, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Le Monde reviewed this book, at some point, with the words what the old master craftsmen would call a masterpiece. It is precisely that. A masterpiece in the sense of the craft as well as the art of writing. WHEN THE GUNS FALL SILENT BY JAMES RIORDAN In 1964, Perry visits a foreign cemetery with his grandfather Jack, a hero of World War I. Jack doesn't like to talk about the war, much to Perry's disappointment, but on this trip he finds himself thinking back 50 years to a time when he signed up full of enthusiasm only to be confronted by the harsh realities of war, and looking back on those of his friends - English and German - who didn't W J BURLEY'S WYCLIFFE NOVELS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDERRetrieved from

First endeavour as creator of The Chosen Word. Currently claims adjuster with Charles Taylor Insurance Services in London. I always thought my talents lie in music as I have written two stage musicals as well as numerous other offerings. A PLACE OF SECRETS BY RACHEL HORE She works as a valuer at a London auction house, and it has been a while since she went home. This is the opening for an engaging story about the links between past and present. Hore quickly establishes Jude as a likeable character - a warm, caring woman dealing with some real sadness. Her husband Mark died suddenly in an accident a fewyears ago.
APPLES BY RICHARD MILWARD Summary: Milward, barely out of his teens himself, lends a voice of authenticity to this look at Britain's urban youth with its binge-drinking, drug taking and seemingly ubiquitous teen pregnancy. It's vivid, anarchic and truthful, and it will have parents hurtling for the censor button. There's a level of structural hubris going on, but the willingness to engage and the kindly eye make you YES! NO (MAYBE...) (TOM GATES) BY LIZ PICHON Work. It's not something Tom Gates has been guilty of much before now – unless it's to work out how and where to hide his favourite caramel wafers, or how to deflect the evil grin of his slightly gotholder sister.

Resurrection Men (2002) I AM DAVID BY ANNE HOLM I Am David by Anne Holm. Buy I Am David by Anne Holm at Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com. Category: Teens. Reviewer: Jill Murphy. Summary: Not particularly effective as an adventure story, I Am David is a story of the victims of war and of the effects of censorship. It has some difficult ideas and some scenes that may shock the little ones. THE LONGEST NIGHT OF CHARLIE NOON BY CHRISTOPHER EDGE For a children's book, there is a surprising amount of science and puzzles in it. The book features such things as (supposedly) Masonic Code, Morse Code, semaphore and even the Enigma codes (all complete with illustrations), which seem random but all connect in some way to the climax of the book. There are musings on the nature of time andthe
STONEBIRD BY MIKE REVELL Maybe the old diary Liam finds in the garage under a pile of rubbish will provide some answers. This is a gentle book, about love and loss, but that's not to say it won't appeal to more lively readers. Peril and fear are rarely too far away from Liam, and he runs the risk more than once of causing danger and pain through his actions, however QUINTIN JARDINE'S BOB SKINNER NOVELS IN CHRONOLOGICAL Autographs in the Rain (2001) Head Shot (2002) Fallen Gods (2003) Stay of Execution (2004) Lethal Intent (2005) Dead and Buried (2006) Death's Door (2007) Aftershock (2008) Fatal Last Words (2009) SECRETS OF THE TOMBS: THE PHOENIX CODE BY HELEN MOSS Secrets of the Tombs: The Phoenix Code by Helen Moss.

Writing about dystopian societies has been a feature of adult novels for a long, long time, but there's some fantastic stuff about for theyounger ones.
EMPIRE OF THE SUN BY J G BALLARD Empire of the Sun is breathtaking. It is beautifully written. It is hypnotic. It is one of the greatest books about war written in this century by a British author. Yet there are no battles, no combatants, no heroes and ultimately, no real villains. It is just the story ofone little boy.
CALL FOR THE DEAD BY JOHN LE CARRE Call for the Dead by John le Carre. Summary: A senior civil servant commits suicide after a security vetting interview, even though he was cleared. The man who interviewed him cannot believe he would take his own life. The tense and atmospheric debut of George Smiley is a good,satisfying read.

However, Corlett doesn't allow the book to become weighed down by going into too much detail when it comes to exploring this aspect of things, instead keeping a steady aim on Jamie's character and those she meets along the way.

OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE: SCENES OF A FAMILY AND A PLANET IN CRISIS BY MALENA ERNMAN, GRETA THUNBERG, BEATA THUNBERG AND SVANTE THUNBERG Politics and Society The Ernman / Thunberg family seemed perfectly normal. Malena Ernman was an opera singer and Svante Thunberg took on most of the parenting of their two daughters. Then eleven-year-old Greta stopped eating and talking and her sister, Beata, then nine years old, struggled with what was happening. In such circumstances, it's natural to seek a solution close to home, but eventually, it became clear to the family that they were _burned-out people on a burned-out planet_. If they were to find a way to live happily again their solution would need to be radical. Full ReviewKEEP HIM CLOSE
BY EMILY KOCH
Crime
Alice had two children: Benny (well, Benoît, actually) and Louis. Lou's seventeen and he's just got his A level results and he and his brother are going out to celebrate. Someone has to find something to celebrate in the letters, D, D and E. Alice has always had a good relationship with nineteen-year-old Benny but it's a touch problematic with Lou and being honest, he's not terribly likeable. The letters which kept coming to my mind were ADHD. Full ReviewKEEPER
BY JESSICA MOOR
Crime
Katie Straw worked in the women's refuge and the women who lived there liked and respected her. She treated them well and seemed to have an understanding of what they were going through. Why then did she jump from the local suicide spot into the river below? There had been no signs that she was unhappy and she and her boyfriend seemed to have been content together - and Noah has a decent alibi for the time when she died, but what other explanation could there be for her death? The police are convinced that it's suicide, but the women who knew her believed otherwise. Full Review MURDER AT ENDERLEY HALL (MISS UNDERHAY)BY HELENA DIXON
Crime
It's the summer of 1933 and Kitty Underhay is on her way to visit the family which she never knew she had, at Enderley Hall. Her grandmother, Mrs Treadwell, and Great Aunt Livvy are back at the Dolphin Hotel in Dartmouth. Kitty gets easily bored working at the Dolphin - every day is much the same - but her real reason for going away is that she needs a break after her recent adventures, which involved three vicious murders, an arson attack and an attempt on herlife.

WHERE THE INNOCENT DIE (D I RIDPATH)BY M J LEE
Crime
It was easy to assume that the death of the young Chinese girl at the Immigrant Removal Centre was suicide. Her throat was cut, there was a lot of blood and the knife was on the floor at the side of the bed, She was due to be deported that day. But... how did the knife get into the secure centre and why was the girl's room the only one which was unlocked? DI Thomas Ridpath, the coroner's officer, is sent to investigate and he quickly becomes suspicious, There's a snag though: the inquest is due to open in a couple of days' time, the girl's parents are coming over from China and they want to take their daughter's body home with them. Ridpath has just five days to solve the case. The coroner is disinclined to delay the inquest: for her, it's about giving closure to the parents. Full Review BURNT ISLAND (BEN KITTO)BY KATE RHODES
Crime
The 5th of November was D I Ben Kitto's thirty-fifth birthday and the occasion for the usual bonfire celebrations, but it would be marred this year by the discovery of Professor Alex Rogan's body on a bonfire. He'd obviously been alive when he was put on the fire and can only have died a terrible death. The body was first discovered by Jimmy Curwen, better known on St Agnes as the Bird Man because he speaks little or nothing and his only concern is the welfare of the birds he looks after. His instinct is to cover Rogan's body and he uses his sheepskin coat to do this, with the result that he's the prime suspect. Full Review A KEY TO TREEHOUSE LIVINGBY ELLIOT REED
General Fiction
This is the story of a young boy, William Tyce, who is being raised by his uncle after the death of his mother and his father's abandonment. However, it isn't told in the usual narrative way. Instead, the book is made up of glossary entries, written by William, as a way of describing certain events, situations and emotions. It runs alphabetically, starting with ABSENCE, then moving to ALPHABETICAL ORDER. As I began to read I did find myself thinking 'what on earth?!' but I soon grew used to the style, and was instead caught up in William's story. Full ReviewBLACK RIVER
BY WILL DEAN
Crime
Tuva Moodyson returns - and this third book in the Tuva Moodyson mystery series delves deep into her personal life, returning her to the isolated town of Gavrik and into a desperate search for her missing best friend. With the Midsommar sun blocked out by the dark pines of the forest, Tuva fights to save her friend. But who’ll be there to save Tuva? Full Review BIRD LOVE: THE FAMILY LIFE OF BIRDS BY WENFEI TONG AND MIKE WEBSTER Animals and Wildlife I was a little perturbed when I looked at the blurb for _Bird Love_ on a couple of on-line booksellers: _exploring the sex life of birds_ it said. I very nearly passed over the book, but a closer examination suggested that the book is about the _family life_ of birds, which is rather different. If the book was confined to the sex life of birds, you would be missing an opportunity to understand how birds live day-to-day, bring up their families and cope in the wild. Not only that, you have missed the treat of so many beautiful illustrations about a wide variety of birds which run through this book from the first page to the last. Full ReviewYOU LET ME IN
BY CAMILLA BRUCE
General Fiction
Eccentric, isolated romance novelist Cassandra Tipp has been missing for a year and has been pronounced legally dead by her lawyers. Her will instructs her niece and nephew to enter her home and find the key to their inheritance in an old manuscript left in her office: the last story she'll ever tell. Full ReviewTHE PEAR AFFAIR
BY JUDITH EAGLE
Confident Readers
Set in the 1960's, this is a mystery adventure story, all about a little girl called Nell and her quest to find her nanny, Perrine (Pear) who left her very suddenly and then, after keeping in touch regularly by post, disappeared completely from her life, leaving Nell bereft. There's everything in this story, with underground tunnels as the playground of gangs of children, to travel and detective work, a mystery mould infecting Parisian bakeries, mysterious figures following Nell around, and a set of truly dreadful parents!

LITTLE DOUBT (D I KELLY PORTER)BY RACHEL LYNCH
Crime
Ella Watson was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was out running in the park when she was randomly attacked and stabbed to death. Her husband, Thomas, and children, Jordan and Millie were devastated and Detective Superintendent Neil Ormond was outraged that a decent, middle-class woman should be the victim of knife crime. Despite being a golfing partner of Thomas Jordan he declined to distance himself from the case and told DI Kelly Porter that he would be taking a great deal of interest in how the case was handled. He wasn't anywhere near as interested when a second woman was stabbed to death a few hours later. Keira Bradley lived on the Beacon estate and Ormond's view seemed to be that anyone living there should expect this sort of thing to happen. He could hardly bring himself to mention Keira's name. Full Review RULES FOR PERFECT MURDERSBY PETER SWANSON
Crime
Malcolm Kershaw was the co-owner and manager of the Old Devils Bookstore on Beacon Hill in Boston. The store specialises in crime novels, but Mal has given up reading crime. His life's been pretty chaotic of late: It's five years since his wife, Claire Mallory, died and he's never really got over it. She was driving whilst inebriated, having just been to see the man with whom Kershaw suspected she was having an affair. His interest in crime fiction comes back when he's approached by Special Agent Gwen Mulvey. She's interested in a blog post he wrote a few years ago: _ My Eight Perfect Murders_. FullReview
BOBBY MARCH WILL LIVE FOREVER (HARRY MCCOY)BY ALAN PARKS
Crime
In February 1964 Bobby March was on his way to London with fellow band members Tom, Scott, Barry and Jamie. He'd had to get his father to sign the contract for The Beatkickers, as Bobby wasn't old enough. And his father had been reluctant - he'd have preferred Bobby to get an apprenticeship, for the regular money. By July 1973 Bobby is back in Glasgow. The Beatkickers didn't survive and March is on his own, but hardly thriving. There's an obvious drug habit. Meanwhile, the police are consumed by the search for a missing girl, Alice Kelly.

CURSED: AN ANTHOLOGY OF DARK FAIRY TALES BY MARIE O'REGAN AND PAUL KANE (EDITORS)Fantasy
Curses. They're there throughout tales of faery and other fantastical folk – people being cursed to do this, or not to be able to do that. Children can be cursed, as can princesses on the verge of marrying, and older people too. It seems in a way there's no escaping it. Which is why the theme of this book of short stories is such a standout – we may well think we know all there is to know about this accursed character, that demonised place, and that other bewitched person. We'd be very wrong. Full ReviewHAVENFALL
BY SARA HOLLAND
Teens
Maddie Morrow is supposed to spending the summer with her Grandma Ellen. But after a visit to her mother in prison, Maddie wants nothing more than to go to Havenfall to see her uncle, Marcus. It's the only place she feels truly at home. Maddie's father, understandably, is not keen on Maddie spending time with her mother's family - because the crime Maddie's mum is languishing on death row for committing is the murder of Maddie's brother... Full Review GHOSTED: THE TREASON HOUSE TRILOGYBY BAYE HARTSHORNE
Fantasy
'Julia Crawley has lost her job on _Celebrity_ magazine and so she decides to cut her losses and return home to the village of Monmouth Cove on the Jersey Shore, hoping to return to her harder hitting journalistic roots via local news. She'll be staying with her grandmother - a woman always ready to help younger relatives in need of a hand. There's only one problem with that: creepy Uncle Dex, who doesn't always keep his hands to himself. Full Review CLARA COLBY: THE INTERNATIONAL SUFFRAGISTBY JOHN HOLLIDAY
Biography
The path of Clara Dorothy Bewick's life was probably determined when her family emigrated to the USA. At the time she was just three-years-old but because of some childhood ailment, she wasn't allowed to sail with her parents and three brothers. Instead, she remained with her grandparents, who doted on her and saw that she received a good education, both in and out of school. She was the only child in the household and her childhood was glorious. By contrast, her family had become pioneer farmers in the mid-west of the United States and life was hard, as Clara was to find out when she and her grandparents eventually went to join the family. Clara would only know her mother for a few months: she was married for fifteen years, had ten pregnancies, seven surviving children and died in childbirth not long after Clara arrived. As the eldest girl, a heavy burden would fall on Clara and Wisconsin was a rude awakening. Full Review NINE WAYS TO EMPOWER TWEENS BY KATHLEEN BOUCHER AND SARA CHADWICKConfident Readers
_9 Ways to Empower Tweens_ is a self-help book for tweens, setting out to show them vital #lifeskills. Don't groan! I know there is a market glut of such books for we grown-ups and for young adults too, but there is a needful space in an increasingly technological world accessible to younger and younger children for material for tweenstoo.

A SPRINGTIME AFFAIR
BY KATIE FFORDE
Women's Fiction
I've wanted to read author Katie Fforde for ages and this was pretty much exactly what I was expecting - a warm, cosy read focused on romance, family and friendships. This provided two romances for the price of one, but it was actually the family element as opposed to the romance that I really enjoyed. Full Review GUESS WHAT I FOUND IN THE PLAYGROUND! BY VICTORIA THOMPSONFor Sharing
Tilly is excited. She's just come dashing out of the classroom, pigtails flapping behind her and a big grin on her face. Dad's come to collect her and her brother and he _has_ to try to guess what she found in the playground today, although she concedes that he will never guess. Dad wants to know how school was, but _obviously_ that's not important. Could Tilly have found more collectable things for her scrap box? (Isn't that so much more sensible than a scrap _book_?) Well, actually, Tilly did find exciting stuff. There are sequins, glittered paper and all sorts of other things in her pocket, but that's not what she wants Dad to guess. Full ReviewYES NO MAYBE SO
BY BECKY ALBERTALLI AND AISHA SAEEDTeens
_We might give it our all and crash and burn. But we might win. We might actually change things. And that maybe makes it still worth going for, don't you think?_ Jaime has been spending his summer helping his cousin with campaigning in time for a special election. When his mother encourages him to go canvassing, he can't think of anything worse. However, Jaime has always wanted to be a politician and decides there is no time like the present to conquer his fear of speaking to the public. Maya is a Pakistani-American Muslim girl who is having the worst summer of her life. Her parents are going through a separation, she has zero plans for the summer to help take her mind off things and her only close friend is permanently busy. To help occupy her, her parents offer to buy her a car if she agrees to go canvassing. The pair could possibly be the worst canvassing duo in history, as neither of them really want to be there, but as the campaign goes on they discover that they care, a lot, about the election - and maybe even about each other? Full ReviewINTO THE FIRE
BY GREGG HURWITZ
Thrillers
Grant Merriweather is a forensic accountant. Or rather, was. He was brought into an ER room after an alleged car crash, his friend pleading with the medics to keep him alive. He was needed alive just long enough to give up a name. His cousin, Max. Full ReviewRetrieved from
