Our bestseller this month was the fourth book in Richard Osman's record-breaking Thursday Murder Club series. Going straight to the top of our list The Last Devil to Die sees Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim spring into action when an old friend in the antiques business has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing.
Also appearing for the first time was Fresh by Stephanie Alexander, one of Australia's most respected and authoritative cook and food writers. Containing over 120 recipes, Fresh will inspire all cooks to be confident using vegetables and herbs as star ingredients. Another newcomer worth mentioning is Before We Say Goodbye by Toshikazu Kawaguchi whose sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold is a constant in our Top 20. In the tradition of the series readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors at the cafe.
Other notables in September were Would that Be Funny? by Lorin Clarke who reveals what it was like growing up with her famous father, satirist John Clarke, The Fraud by Zadie Smith, The Visitors by Jane Harrison, and The Creative Act by Rick Rubin which has been around for some time but is having a resurgence in popularity!
