  • Going Bare!
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Going-Bare-e...rds=going+bare
    Product Description
    I have always wanted to try naturism and in August 2012 I got my wish as my terrified wife and excited kids joined me as we went to a naturist resort in southern France for a few days.
    This book offers a light-hearted look at our first family holiday in five years, when I persuaded them to try naturism for the first time.
    The book is short - around an hour of reading - and details everything from when I first decided naturism appealed to me, to my thoughts after the holiday.
  • 27 (Twenty-Seven): Six Friends, One Year
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/27-Twenty-Se...-2&keywords=27

    Your 27th year is a turning point.
    Kurt Cobain. Amy Winehouse. Janis Joplin.
    They died at 27.
    Six friends reunite in London. From the outside their lives are enviable; from the new father, to the rich entrepreneur to the carefree traveller. But underneath their facades they are starting to unravel. Dave is made redundant, Renee’s marriage is crumbling and Katie is forced to return home to her parents after six years abroad. In a world fuelled by social media and ravaged by recession, the friends must face up to the choices they must make to lead the lives they truly want to live.
  • So Low So High
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/So-Low-High-...so+low+so+high
    Simon Brewster is a doomed man. If he doesn’t change his ways, he’ll never see middle, let alone old age.
    He knows that most people generally don’t drink white cider for breakfast, don’t use the aisle of Tesco as a toilet and don’t steal from their family and friends.
    At School the careers adviser never suggested stealing Edam balls and legs of lamb as a job and his doctor has never prescribed crack cocaine or heroin. Simon still does these things though and the worst part is, he doesn’t know anymore than you do why he continues doing it.
    He’s seen his parents on their knees, crying, begging him to stop; he’s been arrested by his former best mate; he’s been hospitalized, all as a result of drug and alcohol abuse. It’s just not enough to make him stop.
    Simon lies to everyone, including himself. The truth is, he has no more idea why he does the things he does than you do. What he needs is a way out. But if such a thing exists, Simon hasn't had much luck finding it. He's powerless, his life is unmanageable to the point of insanity.
    This is the story of Simon Brewster’s last year using class ‘A’ drugs. Join him as he crashes his way through police cells, courtrooms and display cabinets. One way or another, Simon will stop using drugs. But can he overcome his addictions before his addictions destroy him?

  • I came across Death Order by Jan Needle free on Kindle today. Looks like a slick WWII - perfect for Jack Higgins fans.
    Bill Wiley has seen action - some of it open, much of it covert - in many of the world's most dangerous places.
    In his country's name, he has brought lives to an end, rarely expecting to understand the reasoning behind his orders.
    But when he is called back from Northern Ireland for his latest assignment, his growing realisation of the toll the years have taken is finally crystallised.
    For the man his paymasters want him to kill is ninety-three years old, the sole inmate of the most heavily guarded prison in the world.
    They call him Rudolph Hess.
    At first, Wiley refuses. Not only through revulsion, but through a sketchy awareness that the grotesquely simple order hides a deeper mystery.
    Helped by Oxford historian Jane Heywood and her uncle - a wartime spy who was involved in the mysterious flights of 1941 - he unravels truths that many men have died for.
    Wiley's only son, it seems, may soon be added to that number...
    Jan Needle's uncompromising new novel, which draws on much hitherto unknown material, is a thriller that ranges over five decades of history to confront the unpalatable truth behind what has been called the last great mystery of World War II.
    Its themes of love and corruption embrace the killers of the prisoner in Spandau and their wartime counterparts - mean and women, all, who had to do the bidding of their masters.

    'Compelling, vivid, racy...describes with unnerving prescience just what is going on...it will appeal equally to conspiracy and !!!!-up theorists.' Guardian
    'Recalls the golden age of British investigative reporting: hard-hitting, crusading, alarming prescience.' The Times
