Six Students. One Murder. Your Time Starts Now...
The students of Royal Hastings University's new Multimedia Art course
have been trouble from day one. Acclaimed artist Alyson wants the
department to revolve around her. Ludya struggles to balance her family
and the workload. Jonathan has management experience but zero talent
for art. Lovely Patrick can barely operate his mobile phone, let alone
professional design software. Meanwhile blustering Cameron tries to
juggle the course with his job in the City and does neither very well.
Then there's Jem. A gifted young sculptor, she's a promising student...
but cross her at your peril.
The year-long course is blighted by accusations of theft, students
setting fire to one another's artwork, a rumoured extra-marital affair
and a disastrous road trip. But finally they are given their last
assignment: to build an interactive art installation for a local
manufacturer. With six students who have nothing in common except their
clashing personal agendas, what could possibly go wrong?
The answer is: murder. When the external examiner arrives to assess the
students' essays and coursework, he becomes convinced that a student
was killed on the course and that the others covered it up. But is he
right? And if so, who is dead, why were they killed, and who is the
murderer? Only a close examination of the evidence will reveal the
truth. Your time starts now...

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.

panto even before the curtain goes up. Of course there's also the
matter of the dead body. Who could possibly have had the victim on

PHENOMENON FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE APPEAL *** 'The queen
of tricksy crime' - SUNDAY TIMES 'Her best so far' - MARIAN KEYES
'Another resounding success' - DAILY EXPRESS THE DEVIL IS IN THE
DETAIL... True-crime author Amanda Bailey knows all about the
notorious Alperton Angels cult. There have been dozens of books and
films about the Angels, ever since the night nearly two decades
ago, when they attempted to sacrifice a baby they believed to be
the Antichrist. With all the cultists now dead - apart from their
charismatic leader - it seems like there's nothing new to say about
the Angels... until now. The Alperton baby has turned eighteen and
can finally be interviewed, and if Amanda can track them down, it
will be the scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies is
just as smart, better connected, and is also on the baby's trail.
As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate, they realise that
what everyone thinks they know about the Angels is wrong. The truth
is something much darker and stranger. And the devilish story of
the Alperton Angels is far from over...
