Series to Get Stuck Into When You’re Stuck Inside

If there’s one thing we are grateful for during this bizarre season, it’s all the freed-up time we have to read. While some people shy away from getting involved with series because of the time commitment, we say there’s no better moment than now to get stuck into new stories — and know that you’ve got time to explore them!
That’s why, for the next few weeks, we’ll be putting the first title in all of our book series on offer. From chilling mysteries to sweeping sagas, we’ve got a series for every kind of reader. We hope you’ll look into a few — and enjoy the much-needed escape.

The Colony Novels

Gripping and spooky, The Colony Novels begin on New Hope Island, where its 150 inhabitants have seemingly vanished into thin air. What follows is a chilling account — deemed ‘the only book that has ever genuinely scared me’ by one reader — that begs the question: are some mysteries safer left unsolved?

Not to miss: the peculiar, laugh-out-loud duo of Miss Beulah and Miss Bessy, who support Mark East through his investigations.
