Daisy Waugh's commercial fiction debut is a wickedly funny satire of the bitch-eat-bitch world of celebrity PR, with an unexpected romantic heart.Welcome to the noughties. Can you take itShe's at the top of her profession, but Jo's social life is as much a game of survival as her work. This is London in 2001, where if you call your boyfriend on his mobile, you have to disguise your number or he won't pick up he's always expecting someone more important to ring. Where your best friends think nothing of cancelling at the last minute, ten times in a row. Where commitment is a 'pencilled option on mutual time'. Where flexibility is the new etiquette that disguises plain rudeness. And success at work is everything. So it's more than a little inconvenient when Jo falls for a gorgeous singer, an upperclass dropout with an unreasonable attachment to old-fashioned, human values. What is she thinking of, and how on earth will she explain him to her friendsIn Daisy Waugh's sparkling satirical novel two worlds collide in a delightfully and hilariously messy fashion but will true love prevail

Last Dance with Valentino

HarperCollins Publishers, Limited

A hooker. A mistress. A murder. This town was built on sin. The town of Trinidad, Colorado was a tough place to be a woman in 1913. But it was the best place in the West to find one, if you had the cash. Honeyville, they used to call it. A murder throws Inez and Dora together - two women from opposite sides of town, in a town built for men. Against all odds, the well born girl and the high class hooker are drawn together in friendship... But this is a town that is rotten to the core, and beyond the rustling of silk skirts, the dancing and laughter, deadly unrest is building... Welcome to Honeyville - a town living by its own rules, where nothing is quite as it seems A STORY INSPIRED BY A LOST CHAPTER IN AMERICAN HISTORY

Imagine Agatha Christie on laughing gas' Times\nThe Todes are back, and they're taking on Hollywood . . .\nWhen Hollywood wants to do a remake of the film that made Tode Hall famous, India and Egbert are delighted. They envisage a summer of free money and star-studded dinner parties ahead . . .\nBut the Hall is soon overrun by wardrobe trucks and catering tents, and lusty, insecure actors squabbling about nudity clauses. When the movie's producers threaten to sue over the exact colour of Tode Hall's rolling lawns, India and Egbert realise that having a film crew on their doorstep isn't such a breeze after all. With so many egos in one place things were bound to end badly, but no one would have predicted quite so literal a backstabbing . . .\n'A glorious satire on aristocratic manners and mores, with a smidgeon of murder thrown in, Waugh's hilarious and entirely original twist on the country house murder mystery is 'a perfect antidote to all the real-life craziness going on' Daily Mail\nPraise for the Todes\n'I couldn't put it down' Santa Montefiore\n'A delightful treat'The Lady\n'Deliciously entertaining' Andrew Wilson\n'An irresistible champagne bubble of pleasure and laughter' Rachel Johnson\n'A perfect antidote to wintry gloom' The Literary Review\n'What a triumph!'
