Our August choice is is a poignant debut novel that intertwines a contemporary mystery with a harrowing historical account. Margaret Small, a 75-year-old Cilla Black superfan, begins receiving mysterious sums of money signed simply "C" after her idol's passing. To uncover the truth, she must revisit her past—nearly 70 years ago—when she was placed in a long-stay institution for children with learning disabilities. This dual-timeline mystery explores Margaret’s journey of resilience and self-discovery.
