Kym Argo is the National
Group Editor for Get It local
magazines, and an avid reader.
She shares some of the books
that have stood out for her.
The Last Orphan
by Gregg Hurwitz
I rather fancy Evan Smoak,
or Orphan X, Hurwitz’s
trained government
assassin. He’s all high
stakes, adrenalin, and
protecting the helpless. The Last Orphan
sees him given an order by the president
to either kill someone who’s a danger to
the government, or face execution. But
no-one forces his hand …

OUT IN PAPERBACK
So Close
by Sylvia Day
Killing Moon
by Jo Nesbo
Happy Place
by Emily Henry
When widower Kane
Black encounters a
woman resembling
his late wife Lily,
a complex tale of
love, grief, and
rivalry unfolds in
Manhattan’s highstakes world. The
first book in Day’s
Blacklist series.
When a body is
found in the forest,
the police make a
horrifying discovery:
the scalp has been
removed and sewn
back on. But they
have no idea why.
The brand-new
Detective Harry
Hole thriller.
Harriet and Wyn,
once the epitome
of a perfect couple,
conceal their
breakup. They
fake affection for
one last week at
a cottage sale
gathering, hiding
their split from
close friends.
The Family Remains
by Lisa Jewell
When her readers begged
for a sequel to The Family
Upstairs, Jewell gave in and
wrote this cracker! Bones
decades old. Seeds from
a rare tree. A murder investigation. And
discovering what happened to the children
(now adults) who lived in the notorious
home, and to the baby left behind. No
sleep was had until I finished this one!
Tackle! by Jilly Cooper
All the now 50-plus women
who lusted after the rakish
Rupert Campbell-Black
(handsomest man in
England), way back in 1985,
did a little leap of joy with
the release of this one ... and I was right
there with them! Cooper’s novels are
pure hedonistic joy, so I knew exactly
what to expect from Tackle! It’s full
of scandal, sabotage and seduction.
