|title=The Favour
|author=Nicci French
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=It was 2 am, not long after A levels, when the car crash happened. It would cause problems for Liam Birch but then no one could really understand why he and Jude Winter were together. She was utterly driven by her determination to go to medical school. Liam was the reverse. He just acted ''as if life just rolled him over and carried him along''. A bit of weed here, a few drinks there: the legal effects of the car crash really didn't worry him at all. The relationship broke up soon after that - or rather, Liam simply didn't see Jude any more.

Bruno Courrèges is the police chief for St Denis and much of the Vézère valley and works closely with Commissaire Jean-Jaques Jalipeau (known as 'JJ'), the head of detectives for the départment of the Dordogne. They're not just policemen - they're both deeply committed to the well-being and prosperity of this most beautiful part of France. The discovery of an old, stolen Peugeot, crashed and abandoned in a ditch wouldn't normally have worried them so much had it not been for the strange bullet, with Russian letters stamped on the base, which they found in the car. Oh, and there was a golf ball too, which didn't belong to the owner of the car. A golf bag would be a good place to hide a sniper's weapon. Was there going to be an attempt to kill someone, or were the detectives being pushed in a certain direction?

|title=Blind Justice (DS McAvoy 10)
|author=David Mark
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=Acting DI Aector McAvoy hadn't even had time for breakfast when the call came through. A body had been found in the roots of a fallen tree at Brantingham, near Hull. When he gets to the scene, he will find what greets him is even worse than he could have imagined. A young man's corpse is entangled with the roots of a newly-fallen tree – the roots have grown through him – and two silver Roman coins have been nailed through his eyes. It would seem that this was done whilst the man was still alive. McAvoy makes a promise to the victim: I will find answers. You will know justice. But justice always comes at a cost and this time the cost might be to McAvoy's own family.
