The best books out this month

With the weather getting cooler, the nights drawing in, and spooky season upon us, October is arguably the best time to curl up with a great new book.
This month’s releases include thrilling reads from some of the biggest names in crime and thriller writing, a gift-worthy edition of a Haruki Murakami classic, and the conclusion to Philip Pullman's Book of Dust Series.
Meanwhile, in non-fiction, there are reflections on modern life and culture from Zadie Smith, a glimpse into the mindset of a sporting champion, and a return to the world of Charlie Mackesy's beloved illustrated book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
