Someone Else's Shoes
Jojo Moyes
Who are you when you are forced to walk in someone else's shoes? Nisha Cantor and Sam Kemp are two very different women. Nisha, 45, lives the globetrotting life of the seriously wealthy, until her husband inexplicably cuts her off entirely. She doesn't even have the shoes she was, until a moment ago, standing in. That's because Sam - 47, middle-aged, struggling to keep herself and her family afloat - has accidentally taken Nisha's gym bag. Now Nisha's got nothing. And Sam's walking tall with shoes that catch eyes - and give her a career an unexpected boost. Except Nisha wants her life back - and she'll start with her shoes.

Exiles
Jane Harper
A mother disappears from a busy festival on a warm spring night. Her baby lies alone in the pram, her mother's possessions surrounding her, waiting for a return which never comes. A year later, Kim Gillespie's absence still casts a long shadow as her friends and loved ones gather to welcome a new addition to the family. Joining the celebrations on a rare break from work is federal investigator Aaron Falk, who begins to suspect that all is not as it seems. As he looks into Kim's case, long-held secrets and resentments begin to come to the fore, secrets that show that her community is not as close as it appears. Falk will have to tread carefully if he is to expose the dark fractures at its heart, but sometimes it takes an outsider to get to the truth.

Everything you need to know about holds:
how to reserve a book
When you're looking for a specific book, it can be disappointing when it's not on the shelf at your local library. Not to worry - our easy-to-use holds system has you covered.
- When you place a hold on a book, if we have a copy on the shelf at another of our libraries, we'll send it over to your local library for you to collect.
- If all of our copies are on loan, you will join a queue and when it's your turn, we'll send a copy over to your local library for you to collect.
- You'll receive an e-mail when your hold is ready to collect, and you have 13 days after the hold arrives to collect it.
- Holds are free for children, and a small charge is made for adults.
- You can place up to 20 holds on your library account.
- You can place holds online - all you need is your library card number and password.
- Alternatively, our friendly staff are always happy to place holds for you.
