The Survivors<br />

by Steve Braunias<br />

The new book from the Ngaio Marsh Award winning author<br />

of the bestselling MISSING PERSONS and<br />

THE SCENE OF THE CRIME.<br />

True stories of death and desperation<br />

One survivor chooses loneliness.<br />

One chooses exile.<br />

One chooses oblivion.<br />

Some have violent tendencies, ruining lives indiscriminately.<br />

Some seal their own fate in slow motion; others do so in the blink of an<br />

eye.<br />

In The Survivors, award-winning true-crime writer Steve Braunias<br />

retells twelve mysteries of human nature - unusual stories of how<br />

people choose to survive their own lives, and their decisions, desires,<br />

impulses... and failings.<br />

This Is Why We Lied<br />

Will Trent, Book #12<br />

by Karin Slaughter<br />

Who killed Mercy McAlpine? The next thrilling suspense featuring<br />

Will Trent and Sara Linton from Karin Slaughter, no.1 bestselling author of<br />

Pieces of Her and After That Night<br />

Everyone here is a liar, but only one of us is a killer...<br />

Welcome to the McAlpine Lodge: a remote mountain getaway, it’s the<br />

height of escapist luxury living.<br />

Except that everyone here is lying. Lying about their past. Lying to their<br />

family. Lying to themselves.<br />

Then one night, Mercy McAlpine - until now the good daughter -<br />

threatens to expose everybody’s secrets. Just hours later, Mercy is dead.<br />

In an area this remote, it’s easy to get away with murder. But Will Trent<br />

and Sara Linton - investigator and medical examiner for the GBI - are<br />

here on their honeymoon.<br />

And now, with the killer poised to strike again, the holiday of a lifetime<br />

becomes a race against the clock ...<br />

We need your help to fill our beds.<br />

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has<br />

23 beds for tamariki to stay during<br />

times of whānau stress or crisis. On<br />

average just 17 of these beds are filled<br />

due to resourcing constraints.<br />

Every empty bed is a missed<br />

opportunity to support a child in need.<br />

Donate today to give Canterbury<br />

tamariki a safe place to sleep.<br />

www.cholmondeley.org.nz<br />

– everything you could need to make the<br />

most of the great outdoors.<br />

There’s also the chance to win one of six<br />

awesome prize packs from Destination<br />

Hokitika, while on Sunday you can take<br />

part in a live auction from Genius Homes.<br />

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides<br />

short term emergency or planned respite care<br />

for tamariki when they need extra support due<br />

to complications at home.<br />

Cholmondeley is an independent charity<br />

and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to<br />

run. 20% of this figure is met by Government<br />

funding, and the remaining 80% comes from<br />

the generous support of the Canterbury<br />

community.
