<description><![CDATA[Not only is this a beautifully written book, but it also happens to be extremely well researched, which is an irresistible combination for any lover of historical fiction based on a fascinating series of crimes that actually took place in the 17th century. I am referring to this debut novel by Rebecca Stott which takes a modern day murder and develops the theme of it as being possibly related to the murders that took place at Trinity College, Cambridge, where, amongst others, Isaac Newton was studying and eventually became a Professor of Mathematics. But, whilst Newton was solving the problems of Gravity and discovering that light was made up of a spectrum of colours, had he in fact gained his fellowship due to another's demise?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Trespasses by Paul Bailey presents the reader with an early challenge. The principal character, Ralph Hicks, or Ralphie to his mother, has suffered a breakdown and, during the book's first fragmented section, we see the world from his disjointed, guilt-ridden, apparently random perspective.
