Newly promoted Detective Sergeant William Warwick has been reassigned to the drugs squad.<br />
His first case ... to investigate a notorious South London drug lord known as the Viper. As he and<br />
his team close the net around the criminal network, he’s also faced with an old enemy, Miles<br />
Faulkner. It will take all William’s cunning to devise a means to bring both men to justice ... a trap<br />
neither will expect, one that’s Hidden in Plain Sight. This is Jeffrey Archer’s second thriller<br />
featuring Warwick – it follows on from Nothing Ventured but reads well as a stand alone story.<br />
Full, as Archer fans would expect, of thrills and twists and turns. • Oh, joy for fans of The No 1<br />
Ladies’ Detective Agency series. A new instalment, just in time for the hols. Alexander McCall<br />
Smith’s How to Raise an Elephant allows readers to catch up on the latest from Mma<br />
Ramotswe, Mma Makutsi and other favourites. The book starts off nice and easy ... in fact,<br />
Precious Ramotswe wonders whether rising heat in Gaborone could be the reason that<br />
business is particularly slow. But add some new neighbours who, by the sound of it, have a<br />
rather volatile relationship, a distant cousin who arrives at the agency with a plea for help,<br />
and a hair-raising night-time expedition, and things heat up pretty quickly. But nothing<br />
that can’t be sorted out over a slice of Mma Potokwani’s fruit cake. • You know what you’re<br />
going to get in Together By Christmas. Girl meets boy, heart-wrenching dilemmas,<br />
some long buried secrets and a whole lot of romance. But that doesn’t take away from<br />
the sheer hedonistic joy of a chick-lit novel to read on a sun lounger this <strong>Dec</strong>ember.<br />
Karen’ Swan’s latest love story is just lovely.<br />
As it’s time for the holidays, a wine from Journey’s End boutique winery seems<br />
appropriate, particularly a bottle of Destinations Chardonnay 2018. The<br />
vineyard, owned by the Gabb family, has just released its rebranded top-tier<br />
Precision Series ... this gold medal Chardonnay is rich and full and creamy and a<br />
complete treat for the last book club of the year. It’s a limited edition – only 20<br />
barrels were produced – and is vegan-friendly. R280 from good bottlestores and<br />
online from shop.journeysend.co.za.<br />
