TRAILBLAZER AND VOICES, THE LIBARY:
23 is a gripping new novel available in paperback for £8.99 and as an ebook or audiobook starting from £4.99. Perfect for the autumn season, this humorous fiction with a blend of love and crime is the ideal companion for cosy nights by the fire as the days grow shorter.
Told from the perspective of Raquel Fitzpatrick, 23 is a captivating story about a woman's autumn of self-destruction. Raquel, in her forties, is a posh Northerner juggling life's challenges—hormonal, slightly bored, and a self-proclaimed food snob. Her quiet existence in a Cheshire cul-de-sac is upended when new neighbours move into number 23, bringing a whole new definition to "being neighbourly."
As the new neighbours disrupt Raquel's otherwise peaceful life, she is pulled out of her comfort zone and into a series of unexpected events. The once mundane suburban setting becomes the backdrop for an escalating drama that threatens her family’s safety. Raquel reflects, “It started with a small mistake, but that triggered a chain of events creating bigger mistakes and, before I knew it, I made nothing but mistakes.” 
Filled with humour, intrigue, and an emotional edge, 23 is more than just a light read—it’s a mesmerising mix of comedy, tension, and unexpected twists that will keep readers hooked until the very end. Perfect for a quiet autumn evening, this novel will leave you guessing as the plot unfolds.
