Butterfly Grave by Anne Cassidy (Bloomsbury; €8.30) is the third volume in The Murder Notebooks series, and sees Rose and her step-brother Joshua continue the hunt to find their missing parents.

Earlier volumes suggested they are still alive and, for safety reasons, unable to make contact.

Now Joshua’s uncle has had an accident, so the pair, accompanied by faithful computer expert Skeggsie, journey north to Newcastle to suss out what has happened.
