Newly-weds Caro and Benedict have swapped country life in Churchminster for an exclusive London mews. It's blissful . . . until Benedict's sister arrives, bringing with her a dangerous secret.

Fashionable socialite Saffron lives next door. She always thought the countryside was boring, but when she's invited to Churchminster, she's shocked to learn just how dirty rural life can get.

Sexy, sassy and scandalous... racy heroines... rich entertainment. Hilarious stuff!

The second in her Churchminster series may make Carnegie queen of the bonkbuster... Just add bubble bath and Cava for the perfect night in

—— Scarlet Magazine

Steamy, romantic and hilarious

—— TILLY BAGSHAWE

A PERFECT book for the plane or the beach. I couldn't put it down

—— LORRAINE KELLY

Another feel-good romantic romp

—— Daily Express

A juicy, saucy, hilarious read - I loved it!

—— TAMARA BECKWITH

This feel-good read follows a colourful cast. ****

—— Woman's Own

Sex, lies and secrets - this is chick-lit at its very best

—— Sun

This is a book for grown-up fans of children's fantasy and would also appeal to those who loved Donna Tartt's The Secret History . Highly recommended

—— Library Journal

The Magicians is the most dazzling, erudite and thoughtful fantasy novel to date. You'll be bedazzled by the magic but also brought short by what it has to say about the world we live in

—— Gary Shteyngart , author of The Russian Debutante's Handbook and Absurdistan

The Magicians is a spellbinding, fast-moving, dark fantasy book for grownups that feels like an instant classic. I read it in a niffin-blue blaze of page turning, enthralled by Grossman's verbal and imaginative wizardry, his complex characters and most of all, his superb, brilliant inquiry into the wondrous, dangerous world of magic

—— Kate Christensen , author of The Epicure's Lament and The Great Man

The Magicians is Harry Potter as it might have been written by John Crowley...This is one of the best fantasies I've read in ages

—— Elizabeth Hand , Fantasy & Science Fiction

The author has taken all that is held dear in the fantasy genre, reverently (most of the time) tipping the hat to Rowling, Tolkien, Lewis, Le Guin and others, and shown it from a completely different and unique angle

—— Fantasy Book Review

...a gripping fantasy thriller that will please all the older Harry Potter fans out there

—— Yours Magazine

Jonathan Littell veers between brilliance and bathos...

—— Sally Cousins , The Telegraph

Grotesque, dismaying, chilling in its focus on the fine detail of barbarism, this epic of evil is also addictively readable

—— Boyd Tonkin , Independent on Sunday

Compelling... utterly engaging... for anyone whose interest in his subjects is great to enough to bear their unflinching portrayal The Kindly Ones is an essential novel

—— Chris Power , The Times

It's an amazing picture of evil, wonderfully written (and very well translated from the original French by Charlotte Mandell), and left me feeling as though I had supped with the damned

—— Jane Knight , The Times
