  He’s not a hero. He’s just a policeman trying to survive. 
  Steve Jackson has seen too much. After enduring trauma and personal loss, all he wants is a quiet life and to be left alone. But fate has other plans. 
  This is the gritty, gripping story of a year in the life of Steve—known to his colleagues as "Steady Eddy"—and Felicity Oakshott, his fiercely loyal, quick-witted partner, better known as "Fu*k Off." Together, they navigate the highs and lows of police life with sharp humour, raw honesty, and an unflinching look at what it really means to serve. 
  Blending dark comedy with real-life policing, this is no ordinary crime story. It’s an unconventional tale about two unforgettable characters—and the messy, meaningful lives behind the badge.

  From internationally best-selling author Daniel Kehlmann comes this provocative and wickedly funny novel about two unpredictable men—one an artist and the other a journalist—who embark on an unexpected adventure with uproarious results. Sebastian Zollner's failure as a journalist is matched only by his personal failures. Searching for redemption in the eyes of his peers, he heads off into the mountains to interview the eccentric, legendary painter Manuel Kaminski with the hope of writing his biography. Going blind and living in seclusion with his daughter, Kaminski could be working on his next masterpiece or easing into his final days. His artistic reputation hinges on any number of factors, but most prominently on a definitive biography. With edgy wit and intelligence, Kehlmann dives into the question of what is "truth" in our celebrity-crazed times and embraces the energy and humanity that lie beneath the pretensions of the art and journalistic worlds.

  No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited sixth Why Mummy novel. 
  When family life gives you lemons, trade them for grapes! 
  Mummy Ellen has a Vision. She will cherish every moment this holiday with her Moppets Peter and Jane, alongside her ride-or-die best pal, Hannah. There will be wicker baskets! Vintage bicycles! Pink sunshine wine! And not an electronic babysitter in sight. 
  But as she strives for her picture-perfect “Ultimate Family Summer” in her not-quite-a-chateau, reality crashes the party. With small feral hell-beasts to keep alive on the daily, and Hannah suddenly MIA, wine o’clock gets earlier by the day. 
  Can Ellen keep The Vision alive without resorting to nightly beige ‘freezer tapas’ (aka guilt-flavoured chicken nuggets)? Or will she reach the end of her Gentle Parenting book – and her tether – as her dream holiday descends into a nightmare? 
  Join Ellen on her uproarious quest to salvage one of the #18PreciousSummers, or simply find her Grape Escape. 
  Gill Sims, known for her autofiction and biographical stories, once again delivers a masterpiece. Why Mummy Drinks on Holiday is a testament to her storytelling prowess, weaving themes of marriage, divorce, and friendship into a humorous and relatable narrative. 
  For fans of Sophie Kinsella (What Does it Feel Like?), Freya Kennedy (The Hopes and Dreams of Libby Quinn), Kristen Bailey (Textbook Romance), Alexandra Potter (More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up), and Jane Fallon (Getting Rid of Matthew).
