In Office Hours

Stella Bradberry and Bella Chambers work for Atlantic Energy, a global oil company in London. Bella is pretty, a single mother who dropped out of college and is doomed to work as an invisible assistant to a series of men of half her intelligence. Stella is twenty years older, about to get a seat on the board, and is the original no-glass-ceiling, high-achieving, multitasking mother of two. Everyone admires her: she’s so straightforward and sensible. So what possesses both women to embark on affairs with men they wouldn’t have looked twice at outside the office? Smart, funny, moving, and agonizing, In Office Hours holds up a mirror to modern corporate life. It’s all here—the lies and sabotage and the obsessive, dangerous conduct of work colleagues who, in the grip of passion, break all the rules. “Kellaway manages a consistently funny tone as her characters handle romantic fallout in generation-appropriate fashion and confirm what they already know: too often, it’s the woman who pays the price.”--Publishers Weekly

Awakening

How did it all begin? I suppose it would be the day I rescued a new-born baby from a poisonous snake, heard the news of my mother's death and encountered my first ghost... Veterinary surgeon Clara Benning is young and intelligent, but practically a recluse. Disfigured by a childhood accident, she lives alone and shies away from human contact wherever possible. But when a man dies following a supposed snake bite, the victim's post mortem shows a higher concentration of venom than could ever be found in a single snake. Assisted by her softly spoken neighbour and an eccentric reptile expert, Clara unravels sinister links to a barbaric ancient ritual, an abandoned house and a 50-year-old tragedy that left the survivors fiercely secretive. Then the village's inventive attacker strikes again, and Clara's own solitary existence is brutally invaded. For someone the truth must remain buried in the past . . . even if they have to kill to keep it there.
