She's looking for the perfect man. He's looking for the perfect victim.
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck
with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile,
men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't
shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot.
Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and
works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet.
Then the brutal murder of a young woman―the latest in a string of
deaths across the coast―confounds police. The primary suspect? A
mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.
Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her
dreams. But she can’t shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may
not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every
move, and if she doesn’t get to the truth, she’ll be the killer’s next
victim...

meeting the new neighbours isn’t helped by Felix’s hovering concern.

doctor-prescribed help.
So, when their new neighbour Kira Mullan is found dead by suicide,
Felix is understandably worried about Nancy’s frame of mind. But Nancy

angry enough to take her own life?
Nancy is the only one convinced that there’s more to Kira’s death than
has been discovered. But all the police and the neighbours see is a
vulnerable woman who isn’t sure of what she saw, and might even be
imagining things . . .
Is Nancy imagining things, or are there more questions that should be
asked about the last days of Kira Mullan?

Karl Kielblock was ongetwyfeld een van die beste
speurverhaalskrywers in ons land. Met hierdie boek bewys hy dit
weer eens. Mooier as die blomme is deel van die Frans
Lindenhof-speurreeks en dis ‘n verhaal met baie spanning en
onverwagte wendinge en ook heelwat afwisseling wat daarvoor sorg
dat dit end-uit genietbaar bly. Namakwaland se kleurkaleidoskoop
lok elke jaar duisende besoekers van oraloor. Daar is egter iets
nog mooier en waardevoller as veldblomme wat in die Namakwaland
verskuil is, besef Joachim Verbeek wanneer ‘n skilderekspedisie
plotseling in 'n nagmerrie ontaard. Wanneer Verbeek se paadjie
onwetend met die van uitgeslape diamantdiewe kruis, verander dit
wat as ‘n rustige wegbreek beplan is in 'n jaagtog vol blink
klippies, verleidelike vroue – en lewensgevaar. Niks ontglip egter
die onverskrokke speurder-sersant Frans Lindenhof se waaksame oe en
fyn ore nie, en hy onderneem om die misdadigers vas te keer.
A murder for the history books... After a long and eventful winter,
DCI Ryan and his team are looking forward to the joys of spring.
But, when one of their colleagues is shot dead on her own doorstep
and the brass think it's an inside job, Ryan finds himself drafted
in to investigate. He's barely scratched the surface when reports
flood in of a terror explosion at Durham Cathedral. Chaos descends
on the sleepy, historic city and, when the smoke clears, they find
a priceless artefact that once belonged to Saint Cuthbert is
missing. With tensions running at an all-time high, unable to trust
the local police, can Ryan and his team bring a killer to justice -
and restore Cuthbert's cross to its natural resting place? Murder
and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced
crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular landscape of County
Durham. "LJ Ross keeps company with the best mystery writers" - The
