Two very different lives…
It is 2019 and Lily Jones is living her dream in LA. Sort of. It hasn’t quite turned out as she planned and instead of working as a movie producer, she is cleaning at the prestigious Beverly Hills Hotel. At least she gets to work in the renowned Paul Williams suite, site of the brutal murder of Honey Black 70 years ago and shrouded in rumour and dark glamour.
It is 1949 and Honey Black is about to hit the big time. She may have started out a country girl from Hicksville but now she is a star. And Hollywood had better watch out – nothing can stop her now!
After an accidental bump to the head, Lily finds herself in Hollywood, 1949. She cannot believe it. Like a dream come true, she is rubbing shoulders with the great and good of Tinseltown. Including Honey Black... Horrified, Lily realises that the actress has only two weeks left to live before she will be murdered.
Could this be why she has found herself in 1949? To find the killer and stop them in their tracks?
She's out there. Waiting for you. A haunting read about witchcraft
and superstition from Lisa Hall... 'Creepy, atmospheric, unnerving
and brilliant' Will Dean 'A proper nailbiter' Mel McGrath 'Spooky'
Louise Beech 'I couldn't read it fast enough' Helen Phifer 'A
chilling triumph' Fiona Cummins Is her family in danger? When Allie
moves to a quaint old cottage with her husband, it's their dream
home. Nestled in the village of Pluckley, it seems a perfect haven
in which to raise their two children. But Pluckley has a
reputation. It's known as England's most haunted village. And not
long after the birth of their new son, Allie begins to notice
strange things... What's the flash of white she sees moving quickly
through the woods to the back of their house? And what's the
strange scratching noise coming from the chimney? As Allie
discovers more about the history of their new home, she uncovers a
story of witchcraft and superstition, which casts a long shadow
into the present day. And not everything is as it seems. Her family
might well be in danger, but it's a danger none of them could have
foreseen... Bestseller Lisa Hall's The Woman in the Woods is full
of creeping unease and nerve-wracking tension, and will have

'Compelling, addictive...brilliant' B A Paris It was just a party.
But it turned into a nightmare. When Rachel wakes up in a strange
room, the morning after a neighbour's party, she has no memory of
what happened the night before. Why did her husband leave her alone
at the party? Did they row? Why are Rachel's arms so bruised? And
why are her neighbours and friends so vague about what really
happened? Little by little, Rachel pieces together the devastating
events that took place in a friend's house, at a party where she
should have been safe. Everyone remembers what happened that night
differently, and everyone has something to hide. But someone knows
the truth about what happened to Rachel. And she's determined to

Denali Hawthorne is a lucky girl. Thanks to a generous aunt, she
gets to travel far from the icy Alaska winter to spend spring break
on a Hawaiian cruise ship, the Hawaiian Paradise. Denali and her
aunt have a wonderful time exploring the islands, and on the ship
Denali even runs into an old friend, Gwen. But when Gwen is accused
of a crime, Denali is driven to investigate. While most of the
passengers relax by the pool, Denali uncovers some strange and
suspicious activities. Will Gwen drown under the accusation, or can
Denali throw her a life preserver before the end of the cruise?
Denali's having quite a day, with first a moose in the front yard
and now a frozen body. Was it moosicide? Everyone seems to be
writing off Jake's death as a moose attack, but Denali isn't so
sure. As she learns more about Jake, she finds that there were a
number of people with far better motives for his death than the
moose. Can Denali find the real killer?
