The much-anticipated sequel to How To Solve Your Own Murder. A page-turning mystery with an unforgettable cast of characters, perfect for fans of Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building.
Annie thought the murders were over. She was wrong.
It is autumn in Castle Knoll and Annie Adams is busy settling into her new home. She doesn't find Gravesdown Hall particularly cosy, especially since she found two dead bodies there over the summer. What's more, ever since she arrived in the village, Annie has had the creeping sense she's being watched.
Lonely, and desperate for some company, Annie starts talking to a stranger she meets in the grounds of the estate. The striking old woman introduces herself as Peony Lane, the fortune-teller who predicted Great Aunt Frances' murder all those years ago. And now she has a fortune to tell Annie.
Desperate not to fall into the same trap as Frances, Annie flees Peony Lane, refusing to hear any of her grim predictions. But she can't outrun Peony for long, as hours later she finds her, dead on the floor of Gravesdown Hall, a ruby-hilted dagger plunged into her back.
But who killed the mysterious fortune teller and why? And can Frances' library of evidence help Annie solve the case?
Near the dying English seaside town of Ilmarsh, local police detective Alec Nichols discovers sixteen horses’ heads on a farm, each buried with a single eye facing the low winter sun. After forensic veterinarian Cooper Allen travels to the scene, the investigators soon uncover evidence of a chain of crimes in the community – disappearances, arson and mutilations – all culminating in the reveal of something deadly lurking in the ground itself.
In the dark days that follow, the town slips into panic and paranoia. Everything is not as it seems. Anyone could be a suspect. And as Cooper finds herself unable to leave town, Alec is stalked by an unseen threat. The two investigators race to uncover the truth behind these frightening and insidious mysteries – no matter the cost.
Sixteen Horses is the debut literary thriller from an extraordinary talent, Greg Buchanan. A story of enduring guilt, trauma and punishment, set in a small seaside community the rest of the world has left behind . . .
They say you can't choose your family . . . But what if they're
wrong? Chloe lives a quiet life. Working as a newspaper archivist
in the day and taking care of her nan in the evening, she's happy
simply to read about the lives of others as she files the news
clippings from the safety of her desk. But there's one story that
she can't stop thinking about. The case of Angie Kyle - a girl,
Chloe's age, who went missing as a child. A girl whose parents
never gave up hope. When Chloe's nan is moved into care, leaving
Chloe on the brink of homelessness, she takes a desperate step:
answering an ad to be a lodger in the missing girl's family home.
It could be the perfect opportunity to get closer to the story
she's read so much about. But it's not long until she realizes this
couple isn't all they seem. In a house where everyone has something
to hide, is it possible to get too close? Anna Wharton's debut, The
Imposter, is a thought-provoking story of obsession, loneliness and
the lies we tell ourselves in order to live with ourselves.
'Evocative and compelling' - Karen Hamilton, author of The Perfect
Girlfriend and The Last Wife
The addictive new psychological thriller from the author of The Girl On The Train, the runaway Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller and global phenomenon.
In the last days before her death, Nel called her sister. Jules didn't pick up the phone, ignoring her plea for help. Now Nel is dead. They say she jumped. And Jules has been dragged back to the one place she hoped she had escaped for good, to care for the teenage girl her sister left behind. But Jules is afraid. So afraid. Of her long-buried memories, of the old Mill House, of knowing that Nel would never have jumped. And most of all she's afraid of the water, and the place they call the Drowning Pool...
With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, satisfying read that hinges on the stories we tell about our pasts and their power to destroy the lives we live now.
East Berlin 1968: a city recovering from the horrors of WWII and where
the state police, the Stasi, cultivate a climate of paranoia and fear.
In a place where your closest friend or family member could be a state
informer, the threat of violence is ever present and no one knows this
more than damaged school teacher Sebastian Metzger. But something evil
and ancient is stalking Metzger from the shadows of war–torn
buildings–something which threatens the city and perhaps even the
future of humanity itself. Tiny Acts of Violence is a stunning horror
graphic novel from Martin Stiff, writer and illustrator of the
critically acclaimed and award-nominated The Absence. “It’s an erudite
indictment of social conditioning - - it goes beyond The Lives of
Others in its critique of the Stasi.” Pat Mills (Charley’s War,
Spacewarp) “Has the feel of a long-unearthed Hitchcock… A highly
effective thriller” Rob Williams (Old Haunts, Judge Dredd) “The
atmosphere of menace and state control-induced paranoia drops from it’s
pages.” Simon Furman (Transformers, To The Death) “Gorgeously moody,
graphically striking and brilliantly cinematic” Andrew Cartmel (The
Vinyl Detective, Doctor Who)

Op sy speurtog na antwoorde lei die leidrade hom op ’n kronkelpad deur sy verlede na die skadukant van die samelewing. Elke tree nader aan die waarheid is ook ’n tree nader aan lewensgevaar. Sal Nino die antwoorde kry waarna hy soek? En hoeveel van sy eie duiwels gaan hom langs die pad inhaal? Die beweging van bloed is ’n naelbytspanningsverhaal wat jou laat raai tot die einde.
To save his favorite newspaper, Nero Wolfe steps into the crossfire
of a tabloid war. Master sleuth Nero Wolfe's small circle of
friends is limited to his assistant, Archie Goodwin; his chef,
Fritz; and Lon Cohen, the head man at the New York Gazette. Cohen
knows more about the city's power structure than any man in
Manhattan, and for years, he happily passed Wolfe information in
return for the odd exclusive scoop. But now Cohen needs Wolfe's
help, for the Gazette is ailing and the vultures have begun to
circle. Scottish newspaper magnate Ian MacLaren plans to gut the
paper and turn it into a sex-filled conservative rag. Standing in
his way is the company's chief shareholder, Gazette heir Harriet
Haverhill. But when the aged Ms. Haverhill dies in an apparent
suicide, no one remains to resist the Scot's advances except Wolfe.
MacLaren may be fierce, but when the cause is just, Nero Wolfe
knows how to play dirty too.
