How far would you go to right a wrong? ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is a spooky adventure story for younger readers involving a two-century-old family mystery and the haunting of Dunmore Park, a ruined house in central Scotland.

This view of the ruins of Dunmore Park includes many of the remaining chimneys that give the novel its name and shows how heavily overgrown the house has become.

The image shows the ruins of Dunmore Park and many of its remaining 46 chimneys, with trees growing on and around the ruins, with rhododendrons in the lower right of the frame. There is a grassy path leading to the house and the scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

The image shows the full cover of ‘The Eye of Horus, formed by a closely cropped frontal view of a highly colourful boat across both the front and back covers. The boat has blue, yellow and brown areas, separated by narrow red and white stripes. A carved wooden painted eye has been placed wither side of the front of the boat. The title is in red, with other writing in white. The descriptive text on the rear cover in a lighter box. Thanks to Carolyn Henry Photography for another superb book cover!

AI-generated books on Amazon now have the potential to kill people, as they've moved into the realm of mushroom foraging. Guides have popped up like, well, mushrooms, packed with information that makes no sense and could easily be dangerous, illustrated with structures that are "the mycological equivalent of a picture of a hot blond with six fingers and too many teeth," writes Vox's Constance Grady.

A city at peace in a world at war. ‘The Stockholm Run’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland and Sweden during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

This modern photograph shows the Lydmar Hotel, which occupies a superb waterfront location in Stockholm. During the war this building housed the German legation and its presence is important as the story builds towards its dramatic climax.

The image shows a modern view of the Lydmar Hotel in Stockholm. The stone and pale beige coloured building has a frontage that is three bays wide, and it rises to five storeys plus an attic level. It appears to broaden as it retreats from the frontage. Several people are walking past in the foreground and the sky is blue. The front cover of 'The Stockholm Run' is shown in the bottom right corner.
