Heads Will Roll by Alan MacDonald – For our U3rds, this book is an excellent summary of everything you would like to know about one of our monarchs, Henry VIII. Everyone knows he had six wives but this gentle read also includes many surprise facts too. It is a great way to improve your historical knowledge in an enjoyable way.
Robin Stevens’ ‘Murder Most Unladylike’ series is an award-winning and popular series, this book being its first. Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong set up a secret detective agency at their girls’ school and the crime solving begins. The books are well-written, fun and trip along at a good pace.
