*WATERSTONES WELSH BOOK OF THE MONTH* My Family and Other Animals meets The Secret Life of Cows: this rediscovered gem tells the charming tale of how a baby llama transformed a Welsh farming family forever (with a foreword by John Lewis-Stempel). Things llamas like: Snaffling cherry brandy, Easter eggs, and the Radio Times. Fluttering movie star eyelashes at surprised visitors. Curling up in 'tea-cosy' position by the fire.

When dark days strike, they embark on a farming experiment to cheer them all up - but raising a baby llama proves more of an adventure than expected .

One of the most disturbing criminals of the twentieth century was the Boston Strangler. Although Albert DeSalvo was convicted for the killings of thirteen Boston women, many have never been satisfied that DeSalvo was the real killer. The murder of DeSalvo in prison forever sealed his lips. Acclaimed mystery writer Larry Maness revisits this crime, speculating that the true killer, a person who might have had ties to a politically powerful Massachusetts family dynasty was allowed to escape.

Boston is in a panic and Jake Eaton fears someone he is close to may be the next victim.
