A book described as ‘the most devastating royal biography ever’ has been reissued, with new material on the behaviour of the former Prince Andrew revealed.

Author Andrew Lownie has updated his book on the former Duke and Duchess of York with a new chapter about Andrew and Sarah's behaviour based off interviews with multiple sources and numerous official information requests.

Lownie says the update is designed to give people more information following Andrew's arrest in February - and speculate about the former royal's future.

"We've got victims who are coming forward, we've got police investigations now, in several countries and several police forces. So I can give you another prediction - we're going to get plenty more new material."

Daughters of the Sun and Moon by Lisa See. Some readers may remember her wonderful book The Island of Sea Women a few years ago which was simply outstanding - she writes terrific historical fiction.

Dove, Petal and Moon navigate heartbreak, homesickness and friendship in a fascinating insight into that era, supported by photos and extensive research.

Rule of Lies by Jamison T.Firestone. Extraordinary nonfiction. This young American lawyer moved to the Soviet Union just as it was starting to unravel, where he was able to make the most of the newly arrived capitalism sweeping through Russia. The trouble was, so too did many of those coming out of the former USSR, with state sponsored corruption, theft and sabotage happening on an industrial scale. This is a jaw dropping account about a truly unbelievable time – just wait til you read about the IKEA scam. Fans of Bill Browder’s books will love it.

Three years ago, OceanGate’s Titan submersible imploded while on a journey to view the wreck of the Titanic, killing all five people on board.

Christine Dawood's 48-year-old husband and 19-year-old son, Suleman and Shazhana Dawood, were among the people killed on the historic dive trip.

Dawood has since shared her story of that week, and the subsequent grief following her losses, in a new memoir - 96 Hours.
