Introducing Rose Burnham: designer, dressmaker . . . detective? 🪡👗🕵🏻‍♀️

Rose had the sense of a thread being pulled. One tug and everything could unravel 🧶

Our glitzy early proofs are coming soon! You can now submit your interest in receiving a proof via our link in bio🔗

Miss Burnham and the Loose Thread is the uplifting and evocative historical book club novel by Lynn Knight. Coming March 2025.

🧵Synopsis:

South-east London, 1925.

Talented, ambitious designer-dressmaker Rose Burnham knows well both the strains of her profession and the secrets it can yield. Newly established in her own business, she and her sisters are privy to the hushed conversations that unspool behind the fitting room’s closed doors.

So when a major client finds herself the victim of a deception, it is Rose she tells. Driven by the shortage of men following the Great War, Miss Holmes had engaged the services of a matrimonial agency, only to be cheated out of her inheritance by a fake suitor.

Rose is determined to bring the swindler to justice. To begin with, playing the detective is a grand adventure, but as pressures mount and an old friend receives a troubling string of poison-pen letters, Rose discovers there is more to investigating – and these investigations – than she’d bargained for.

Frank Grasby returns in The Christmas Stocking Murders next week, and we’re delighted to share the stunning hardback exclusive edition that to you can only unwrap from Waterstones!

🎁🎁🎁

A case shrouded in secrets.
It’s just before Christmas, 1953. Grasby and Juggers are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthley’s Bay. A fisherman has been found dead on the beach, with a stocking wound tight round his throat.

A festive mystery for one and all.
Hundreds of pairs of stockings, in neat cellophane bags, soon wash up on the shore. A blizzard cuts off Grasby and Juggers from help, and the local innkeeper is murdered. Any remaining Christmas cheer goes up in smoke as the villagers refuse to talk, leaving the two detectives chasing false leads in the snow.

A winter wonderland with no escape.
To make matters worse, Grasby can’t stop thinking about stockings. Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery, even beneath their oilskins? Who is the sinister bespectacled man snooping around their hotel? And how can they solve the murder when everyone in the village is a suspect?

Welcome to the 80s, the decade of decadence…

The glamorous, cutthroat world of 1980s British television is all about power, a time when the affluent elite exist in a bubble of immense wealth and influence, and will use any means to get what they want. Lord Baddingham is desperate to retain his Corinium TV franchise, and to do so he’s hired Declan O’Hara, an Irish talk show mega-star. Baddingham has also enticed on board Cameron Cook, a gorgeous and brash executive, to produce Declan’s program. But Declan and Cameron detest each other, soon provoking a storm of controversy.

Enter into the fray everyone’s favourite hate-to-love-him bad-boy, Rupert Campbell-Black. As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made and shattered, and everyone is competing—in bed and in the boardroom—to come out on top.

How do you find something that doesn't exist?

The brand new, mesmerising novel from Belinda Bauer, the bestselling and award-winning author of SNAP.

‘It’s hard to overstate the absolute charm of The Impossible Thing. Remember the feeling of wonder the first time you fell in love with a book? This.’ 
VAL McDERMID

‘One of the most enjoyable novels I've read in ages . . . utterly distinctive and totally addictive.’ 
PAULA HAWKINS

'Extraordinary. There's a deceptive simplicity to The Impossible Thing that packs a real punch.'
ANN CLEEVES

-----

It all begins with an egg . . .
With a hungry child who risks her life for an omelette for tea - and finds a miracle.
With thieves committing crimes against nature on the wild cliffs of Yorkshire.
With a marvel that becomes a mystery . . .
and then a myth.

And 100 years later it begins again. . .
With a strange robbery at a remote Welsh cottage.
With two friends thrust from their gaming chairs into a real-life quest.
And with dangerous men who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

It all begins with an egg.
But where will it end?
