The Hub

Nicola May

The laugh-out-loud new tale from the author of the No.1 bestseller The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay

When jilted crime writer August Saunders returns from London to her roots in rural Wiltshire, she feels lost and lacking in inspiration.

Determined to reignite her writing mojo, she responds to an advert for a shared workspace in a converted barn in the village of Futtingbrook.

At the Hub, with its ill-equipped gym, unique café fodder and motley array of users, including a matchmaker, ethical clothing distributor and a social media influencer,  August is confronted with a mystery of her own to solve.

Just what is the secret that Max Ronson, elusive owner of the Hub, seems to be guarding? And who or what is he hiding in the back barn?

This fast-paced tale, peppered with humour, mystery and romance, mixes mischief with the stresses of settling back into a rural community.

‘Joyous escapism’ Milly Johnson

‘Feisty, spiky and at times racy… May does not disappoint. Wiltshire’s rural culture and the primary setting, a slick converted barn within a working turkey farm, add humour, colour and intrigue, but also unexpected thematic depth’ Booklover Book Reviews

‘Nicola May’s charming page-turners never fail to hit the spot and she has written another winner. Sprinkled with humour, warmth, intrigue and mystery, it’s a fabulous read’ Bookish Jottings
