Blizzards. Strikes. Bodies. Power cuts. Terrorist threats. And Showaddywaddy’s<br />
Greatest Hits topping the album charts. 1979 started off badly, and it got worse. But,<br />
for journalist Allie Burns, someone else’s bad news was the sound of opportunity<br />
knocking. So it may well be the winter of discontent, but she’s one of the few women<br />
in the newsroom, and she’s chasing her big scoop. In 1979, the first of Val McDermid’s<br />
Allie Burns series, the journalist and a colleague are exposing the criminal underbelly<br />
of respectable Scotland, risking, obviously, making powerful enemies. Things hot<br />
up when she uncovers a home-grown terrorist threat, and comes up with a plan to<br />
infiltrate the group ... a move where putting a foot wrong could be fatal. Val’s upped<br />
her already sky-high thriller level in this one ... it’s not only the icy weather that makes it<br />
chilling. Little Brown • It’s Karen Rose. And there’s a cult. Do you need to know anything<br />
more before you rush out and buy this one? FBI Agent Tom Hunter is chasing leads to<br />
find the cult that damaged some of his closest friends. They managed to escape, but<br />
one of the cult’s leaders is hunting them down. He’s out of control; the only person<br />
who he may listen to is cult leader Pastor, a person no outsider has ever seen. When<br />
serious injury has Pastor having to venture outside the cult compound, it’s Tom’s<br />
chance to act, and bring the cult down. You had us a cult ... you know Say Goodbye<br />
is going to be gripping, thrilling, and keep you up all night. It’s the third in the<br />
Sacramento series – read Say You’re Sorry and Say No More first, if you can, but this does<br />
also read well as a stand-alone. Headline<br />
We’ve recently discovered Nalu wines ... a small selection of excellent wines, each of<br />
which stand for something the Nalu team are passionate about. This month we’re<br />
loving the Nalu Sauvignon Blanc 2020, a pale straw-coloured wine with light green<br />
hue ... fresh with the tanginess of green figs and a zesty citrus twist. Lovely, and even<br />
more enjoyable knowing by drinking this, we’re supporting the Two Oceans Aquarium<br />
Education Foundation. Nalu (with a Hawaiian origin, means surging surf or what we<br />
call wave) is inspired by the nature of SA, including its coastline and sea life, and a<br />
percentage of every bottle is donated to the foundation. R68 from naluwines.com
