What is Relax and Read?
Whilst technology can be great, it’s also important to have time away from it and make time for ourselves. The two places we think provide the best opportunity for just that are between the pages of a book and in a spa. Fortunately, the two go perfectly together, making a spa break the perfect time to tune out and reignite the senses by picking up a good book.
This is why we have launched the Relax and Read Book Club, bringing new meaning to the term R&R. The Relax and Read Book Club will give you the chance to discover new books, learn about the authors, share your opinions and really escape into an inspiring world of literature.
This month we're giving you the chance to win a signed copy of The Frozen People by Elly Griffiths, a full Elly Griffiths book bundle, a ZenDuo Smart Dual-Headed Waterless Diffuser + Hotel Collection oils bundle (worth £129) and a Classic Spa Break for Two!
Plus, 3 lucky runner-ups will each win a signed copy of The Frozen People. Good luck!
The Frozen People
By Elly Griffiths
SOME MURDERS CAN'T BE SOLVED IN JUST ONE LIFETIME.
Ali Dawson is a police officer solving crimes so old they’re practically frozen in time… literally. Using a groundbreaking time-travel process developed by physicist Serafina Pelligrini, Ali’s team ventures into the past to uncover the truth. But her latest assignment is unlike any before: she must travel back to 1850, the heart of the Victorian era, to clear the name of Cain Templeton, a man linked to a sinister group rumoured to kill women as part of their initiation.
Arriving in a snow-covered London, Ali quickly finds herself in over her head, trapped in the past, surrounded by danger, and unable to return to her son, Finn. With a dead woman at her feet and time running out, Ali must navigate a treacherous world to solve the mystery and find her way back home.
