US library staff choose Claire Douglas’ THE COUPLE AT #9 as one of their top 10 books for August

Claire Douglas’ The Couple At No.9 has been voted by US library staff as one of their top 10 most anticipated books for August. The data was collected by LibraryReads, the monthly nationwide library staff picks list for adult fiction and non-fiction, featuring books to be published next month.

Rather than picking “the best” of anything, LibraryReads represents collective favourites—the books library staff loved reading and cannot wait to share. Participation is open to everyone who works in a public library, whether senior staff or new arrivals, in any area of the library.

The Couple At No.9 was a Sunday Times Bestseller and Crime Book of the Month in the UK. It will be published in the US on 2nd August by HarperCollins.
