'If much of the action is set in a bookshop or a library, it is a
bibliomystery, just as it is if a major character is a bookseller
or a librarian.' - Otto Penzler A bookish puzzle threatens an
eagerly awaited inheritance; a submission to a publisher recounts a
murder that seems increasingly to be a work of non-fiction; an
irate novelist puts a grisly end to the source of his writer's
block. There is no better hiding place for clues - or red herrings
- than inside the pages of a book. But in this world of resentful
ghost writers, indiscreet playwrights and unscrupulous book
collectors, literary prowess is often a prologue to disaster. With
Martin Edwards as librarian and guide, delve into an irresistible
stack of tales perfect for every book-lover and armchair sleuth,
featuring much-loved Golden Age detectives such as Nigel
Strangeways, Philip Trent and Detective Chief Inspector Roderick
Alleyn. But readers should be warned that the most riveting tales
often conceal the deadliest of secrets...

Carter. Determined to make Tommy pay, Bethany will stop at nothing
to get close to him again. But with his family and business
interests in freefall Tommy hasn't got time to play Bethany's
warped games. But ignoring Bethany again could be Tommy's biggest
mistake, with devastating results for everyone. Don't miss the
shocking next instalment in this gripping gangland series by Kerry
Kaya! Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Heather Atkinson and
Caz Finlay. Please note this is a re-release of Scorned, previously
published by Kerry Kaya.
It's not dust she's looking for.
It's dirt.
Esmie is supposed to be invisible. Just a cleaner with a foreign accent
that no one quite has time to place. Her uniform of leggings and a
duster allows her to explore the homes of the wealthy, unseen; an
outsider creeping around the edges of privilege.
But as she sweeps through the exclusive Woodlands gated neighbourhood,
cleaning is the last thing on her mind. Treading silently over the
polished wooden floorboards and cloud-soft carpets, Esmie gathers up
the mess of broken marriages, quiet deceptions and careless failures.
She tucks away their fragments, keeping them safe. For now.
Because one of the residents took from her the person she loves most.
She’s not here to clean; she’s here for revenge – and she’ll get it
using the weapons her employers unwittingly handed her along with the
keys to their homes: their own secrets…
This beautifully sinister, propulsive page-turner that explores themes
of identity and privilege is perfect for fans of Harriet Tyce and Lisa
Jewell.
"Juju assassins, alternate history, a gritty New York crime
story...in a word: awesome." -N.K. Jemisin, New York Times
bestselling author of The Fifth Season The dangerous magic of The
Night Circus meets the powerful historical exploration of The
Underground Railroad in Alaya Dawn Johnson's timely and unsettling
novel, set against the darkly glamorous backdrop of New York City,
where an assassin falls in love and tries to change her fate at the
dawn of World War II. Amid the whir of city life, a young woman
from Harlem is drawn into the glittering underworld of Manhattan,
where she's hired to use her knives to strike fear among its most
dangerous denizens. Ten years later, Phyllis LeBlanc has given up
everything-not just her own past, and Dev, the man she loved, but
even her own dreams. Still, the ghosts from her past are always by
her side-and history has appeared on her doorstep to threaten the
people she keeps in her heart. And so Phyllis will have to make a
harrowing choice, before it's too late-is there ever enough blood
in the world to wash clean generations of injustice? Trouble the
Saints is a dazzling, daring novel-a magical love story, a
compelling exposure of racial fault lines-and an altogether
brilliant and deeply American saga.
In Document #4 of the Edgar-nominated series detailing an
outrageously funny family of detectives, former wild child and
private investigator Izzy Spellman finally agrees to take over the
family business. But the transition won't be a smooth one...
First among her priorities as head of Spellman Investigations is to
dig up some dirt on the competition, slippery ex-cop Rick Harkey--a
task she may enjoy a little too much. Next, faced with a baffling
missing-persons case at the home of an aging millionaire, Izzy
hires an actor friend, Len, to infiltrate the mansion as an
undercover butler--a role "he "may enjoy a little much.
Meanwhile, Izzy is being blackmailed by her mother (photographic
evidence of Prom Night 1994) to commit to regular blind dates with
promising professionals--an arrangement that doesn't thrill Connor,
an Irish bartender on the brink of becoming Ex-boyfriend #12.
At Spellman headquarters, it's business as unusual. Doorknobs and
light fixtures are disappearing every day, Mom's been spotted
crying in the pantry, and a series of increasingly demanding
Spellman Rules (Rule #27: No Speaking Today) can't quite hold the
family together. Izzy also has to decipher weekly "phone calls from
the edge" from her octogenarian lawyer, Morty, as well as Detective
Henry Stone's mysterious interest in rekindling their relationsh .
. . well, whatever it was.
Just when it looks like things can't go more haywire, little sister
Rae's internship researching pro bono legal cases leads the
youngest Spellman to launch a grassroots campaign that could spring
an innocent man from jail--or land Rae in it.
"The Spellmans Strike Again "is hands down the most hilarious,
thrilling, and moving book in this bestselling, award-nominated
series. And it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Isabel
Spellman, no matter how much she matures, will never be able to
follow Rule #1: Act Normal.
