Nightfall by Stephen Leather

Nightingale is a police negotiator who left his job under a cloud. Now he is a struggling private detective - a heavy drinker and a no nonsense sort of bloke. His life is turned upside down when he inherits a mansion from his father. The catch? His soul was sold at birth and the devil will come to get him on his 33^rd birthday – three weeks away. Nightingale doesn’t believe in hell, but people close to him are starting to die. By the time you have read the first few pages of this book you will be hooked, and along for the ride. I was.

The 20 year itch by Linda Kelsey

Julie is beginning to doubt that love can survive long-term. Her husband of 20 years has announced that he is leaving his job to embark on an adult gap year, leaving Julie behind. Turning to her friends for comfort and advice, Julie finds that their relationships are falling apart too. Surely they can't all be innocent victims? Or all bad wives? Is there no such thing as an enduring marriage? Then a chance encounter propels Julie on to a sexual collision course with a man who spells danger. Chick lit at its best.

The Postmistress by Sarah Blake

In London covering the Blitz, radio journalist Frankie Bard meets a Cape Cod doctor in a shelter and promises that she'll deliver a letter for him when she returns to the United States. Alternating between an America still cocooned in its inability to grasp the danger at hand and a Europe being torn apart by war, The Postmistress gives us two women who find themselves unable to deliver the news, and a third woman desperately waiting for news yet afraid to hear it.
