You may not know the stranger in room six. But they know everything
about you.
It's been fifteen years since Belinda was convicted of her husband's
murder. Now, she's ready for her life to begin again, and she's set on
that happening at Sunnyside Home for the Young at Heart.
The owner, Mabel, has spent her life here. First as an evacuee during
the Blitz and now as the care home's oldest resident, Mabel has held
the secrets of this house for as long as she can remember. Secrets that
could kill if in the wrong hands.
But history won't stay hidden forever and someone is onto them both.
Watching and listening from room number six, they'll stop at nothing to
find out the truth.
With a past this dark, is anyone as innocent as they seem?
The gripping new historical mystery from New York Times bestselling author Dana Stabenow. In Cleopatra’s Egypt, the clouds of war are on the horizon… Cleopatra, seventh of her name, all-powerful ruler of Egypt, has found her most able and trusted agent in Tetisheri, her Eye of Isis. So when Tetisheri asks permission to visit the Kingdom of Cyrenaica, she is surprised – and suspicious – when her queen grants her leave from Alexandria. A middleman in Cyrenaica has ceased communication and Tetisheri's uncle, a master trader, is on a mission to find out why. But there are others in Cyrenaica with hidden agendas: Julius Caesar's spies, Caesar's sworn enemy Mettelus Scipio, and the ever duplicitous King Juba I. Tetisheri soon realises why Cleopatra consented to her mission, for Cyrenaica is a web of intrigue that also includes Pompey’s widow and an army readying to take on the might of Caesar, who is massing his legions in Sicily. With war on the horizon, Tetisheri’s skills will be stretched to the limit as she also tries to decipher a murder mystery closer to home.

From SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author Harlan Coben, a heart-pounding
thriller about the ties we have to our past ... and the lies that
bind us together. It's a profile, like all the others on the online
dating site. But as NYPD Detective Kat Donovan focuses on the
accompanying picture, she feels her whole world explode, as
emotions she's ignored for decades come crashing down on her.
Staring back at her is her ex-fiance Jeff, the man who shattered
her heart 18 years ago. Kat feels a spark, wondering if this might
be the moment when past tragedies recede and a new world opens up
to her. But when she reaches out to the man in the profile, her
reawakened hope quickly darkens into suspicion and then terror as
an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light, in which monsters prey
upon the most vulnerable. As Kat's hope for a second chance with
Jeff grows more and more elusive, she is consumed by an
investigation that challenges her feelings about everyone she ever
loved - her former fiance, her mother, and even her father, whose
cruel murder so long ago has never been fully explained. With lives
on the line, including her own, Kat must venture deeper into the
darkness than she ever has before, and discover if she has the
strength to survive what she finds there.
Mary, a desperately poor cleaner, is a witness to murder. Archie,
one of the first artists to work for the police, to support his
other work, draws the man she says she saw at the scene. Fascinated
by her 'face full of bones', he persuades her to sit for a
portrait, but the man who buys the picture really wants to buy
Mary.

RICHARD COLES Can you crack the Twyford Code? Edith Twyford was
once a world-famous children's author, but now her only legacy is
the rumoured existence of the Twyford Code: a series of clues
hidden in her books leading to... what? No one knows - but that
hasn't stopped the speculation. Steve Smith can trace nearly all
the bad things in his life back to Edith Twyford. As a child he
found one of her books, covered in strange symbols. He showed it to
his teacher, Miss Iles, who was convinced it held the key to the
code. Within weeks Miss Iles had disappeared, and Steve has no idea
if she is dead or alive - or if she was right. Now he's determined
to find out. But the Twyford Code hides secrets some would do
anything to possess, and Steve isn't the only one on its trail. The
race is on to solve the mystery of the century. Could you get there
first? The top ten bestselling cosy crime sensation of the summer
from the author of The Appeal, perfect for fans of Richard Osman
and S. J. Bennett.

Frank's got some surefire schemes for getting rich quick--all of
them involving guns--and all Stickley has to do is follow "Ryan's

especially if the "brains" of the operation knows less than
nothing.

DID CANADA'S FAVOURITE RADIO HOST COMMIT MURDER?
Kevin Brace, Canada's most famous radio personality, stands in the
doorway of his luxury condominium, hands covered in blood, and
announces to his newspaper delivery man: "I killed her." His wife
lies dead in the bathtub, fatally stabbed. It would appear to be an
open-and-shut case.
The trouble is, Brace refuses to talk to anyone--including his own
lawyer--after muttering those incriminating words. With the
discovery that the victim was actually a self-destructive
alcoholic, the appearance of strange fingerprints at the crime
scene, and a revealing courtroom cross-examination, the seemingly
simple case takes on all the complexities of a hotly contested
murder trial.
In the tradition of defence lawyers turned authors like Scott Turow
and John Grisham, Robert Rotenberg delivers a legal thriller rich
with his forensic skill and insider knowledge, taking readers on a
tour of Toronto from the Don Jail to the towers of Bay Street and
into the shadowy corridors of the Old City Hall courthouse.
Follow the ingenious mysteries of the 'Tuesday Night Club' with
this hardback special edition of Agatha Christie's beloved classic.
THE ORIGINAL WEEKDAY MURDER CLUB 'Well,' said Joyce, 'it seems to
me we are a pretty representative gathering. How would it be if we
formed a Club? What is today? Tuesday? We will call it The Tuesday
Night Club. It is to meet every week, and each member in turn has
to propound a problem. Some mystery of which they have personal
knowledge, and to which, of course, they know the answer.' Two
years before The Murder at the Vicarage, Agatha Christie first
introduced the world to Jane Marple and the stories of murder and
intrigue told by each member of the Tuesday Night Club. Time and
time again, crimes so wicked they have confounded even Scotland
Yard's finest are solved by St Mary Mead's sharpest mind and
everyone's favourite armchair detective.
