He was her first great love, and even though she is now a junior doctor and about to get married, he will always have a hold over her. Jude’s agreement to help changes her life and plunges her into a world of lies, revenge and criminality. And then, when it’s too late to change her mind, Jude realises that saying yes to this one favour could cost her everything – even her life. *The Favour | Nicci French* #### Recommended reads ***The Midwife* | Tricia Cresswell** 1838 A woman is found alone, naked and near death, on the Northumberland moors. She has no memory of who she is or how she got there, though she can still remember how to dress a wound and how to help a woman in labour. With the odds against her, a penniless single woman, she starts to make a life as a midwife – but can she ever be truly safe. In London, Dr Borthwick lives a solitary life working as an accoucheur, dealing with mothers and babies in the elegant homes of high society, and volunteering in the slums of the Devil’s Acre alongside a young widow, Eleanor Johnson. His professional reputation is spotless, but he is harbouring a dark secret from his past. *The Midwife | Tricia Cresswell* ***Devil’s Way* | Robert Bryndza** When Private Investigator Kate Marshall is rushed to hospital after being pulled into a riptide current in the sea, the near-death experience leaves her shaken. During her recovery, she befriends Jean, an elderly lady on the same ward who tells the harrowing story of how her grandson, Charlie, went missing eleven years earlier during a camping trip on Dartmoor. By the time Kate is well enough to go home, she’s agreed to take on the case, but when Kate and her sidekick Tristan start to look at the events of that fateful night, they discover that Jean has a dark past. Was Charlie abducted? Or did he fall into a rushing river that vanishes into a gorge close to where they were camping. When Kate and Tristan discover that Charlie’s social worker was found brutally murdered shortly after his disappearance, it makes them question everything they thought they knew about the family. *Devil's Way | Robert Bryndza* ***A Wedding in Tuscany*** | **Sandy Barker** Sarah has everything she ever wished for and life couldn’t be better. If only she wasn’t so anxious about turning the big 4-0 Meanwhile Cat is happily in love with her boyfriend, except she lives in London, and he lives in Paris. But a surprise wedding proposal is about to change everything for these sisters. And with their family and friends gathering at a vineyard in Tuscany to celebrate, love, laughter and mayhem are about to ensue. *A Wedding in Tuscany | Sandy Barker* **More of Rosemary’s new releases & recommendations.** [February 2023](https://ballaratmi.org.au/new-titles-and-recommendations-february-2023) **Stay informed of our new releases** Subscribe to our Newsletter [subscribe newsletter >](https://ballaratmi.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=dd70ef083716c1e78fa7f77de&id=e81f7ed3c4#) ## Library Back to our Library homepage [Library](https://ballaratmi.org.au/library/) ## Tours The BMI can provide public tours of the building.
