Marble Hall Murders, RRP $28
Editor Susan Ryeland has had enough murder. She’s edited two novels about the famous
detective, Atticus Pünd, and both times she’s come close to being killed. Now she’s been
persuaded to work on a third. The new novel is by Eliot Crace, grandson of Miriam Crace, who was the biggest-selling children’s author in the world until her death exactly 20 years ago. When Eliot tells Susan that he has hidden the identity of Miriam’s killer inside his book, Susan knows she’s in trouble once again. From bestselling author Anthony Horowitz, this is the third novel in the Magpie Murders series.
The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances, RRP $32.99
In the near future, where even the smallest appliances are sentient, a young Roomba vacuum set out to save the humans of her house in this original novel by Glenn Dixon. In a self-running, smart house, a sentient Roomba listens as her owner, Harold, reads aloud to his dying wife, Edie. Mesmerised by To Kill a Mockingbird and craving the human connection she witnesses in Harold’s stories, the little vacuum renames herself Scout and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Humans and the appliances must come together to outwit the all-controlling Grid lest they risk losing everything they hold dear.
