Books of the Week

Our librarians and children's book specialists' highest rated titles of the week.

When the extended Gristle family are summoned to their ancestral home by Ignatious Gristle, family patriarch and extremely unpleasant individual, they don't expect to hear he is getting married. Things take an even more surprising turn when he is murdered in the middle of the night. With a snowstorm trapping the family in the old rambling house, and the sole telephone out of order, it falls to the youngest member of the family to uncover the circumstances of this murder mystery. 

With a wonderfully eccentric cast of characters and a conveniently isolated, pre-war country house setting, this book is a pitch-perfect take on the golden age of crime. In Edna Gristle readers have an irrepressibly curious and very amusing narrator and the plot is full of twists, turns and red herrings enough that the eventual conclusion is highly satisfying. Fans of Robin Stevens and Enola Holmes should really enjoy this first volume in a promising new series.

"I would order with Peters every time. We have made several large orders in the last few years, completely replacing all our library books and they have made it so easy and exciting with a wonderful range of books. They are helpful, timely and brilliantly organised. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

Caroline Urrutia - Literacy Coordinator, First Tower School, Jersey

"We have had a big drive on Reading for Pleasure and with the brilliant support of Peters we have been very successful in developing a Reading for Pleasure culture in school. So many more children are able to talk about favourite authors and make suggestions to each other about what to read next."

Katie Hutchison - Reading Leader, Scraptoft Valley Primary

"Peters took the time to understand our brief and really get to know the needs of our pupils. They then put together a wonderfully diverse and inclusive range of books so our pupils can see themselves reflected, read the classics, read a book in their home language. We now have a library that is just right for our pupils and will be a place where reading is loved!"

Rebecca Eaton - Headteacher, Conway Primary School, Birmingham
