September Buzz Books Monthly

You'll find exclusive excerpts of seven titles due for publication during September in this sampler.



Jude Deveraux breaks away from romance with her first mystery, A Willing Murder, while Lynne Hugo describes an older woman’s quirky path from heartbreak to hope in The Testament Of Harold's Wife.



New York Times bestselling author Sarah Pinborough’s psychological thriller is Cross Her Heart and a convention-defying novel by another bestselling writer, Walter Mosley, is John Woman.


Television and YA writer Rebecca Serle’s The Dinner List is an adult novel with tinges of magic realism.



Rounding out this monthly are two debuts: Imogen Hermes Gowar’s historical novel The Mermaid And Mrs. Hancock, which has already been shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction. Stuart Turton’s The 7½ Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle is like Groundhog Day meets Life After Life.
