Reason I'm asking is that I have nearly everyone in my living room, my mother buys and reads voraciously, I read a little slower (shes retired I've got a toddler)
I have shedloads too much to list but basically
John Grisham - the broker
the new Patricia Cornwall predator
A few Elizabeth bergs (very nice author)
Lots of Rosie Thomas, new Ruth Rendalls
etc
Happy to offload for postage, then perhaps you could pass on to another mumsnetter after you'd read?
Pls name your author, I'll check later try to come up with a better list!
