  Addison Harper is back, and with another dead body at his feet. Only this time, the entire town saw it happen. 
   
   
   
  Milverton is in the running for the Terrific Town Award, so a dramatic death at the opening ceremony is far from ideal. Addison had only been lending a hand, but now finds himself much more involved than he'd ever hoped. To think his biggest worry before had been his upcoming date with Sergeant Jake Murphy. 
   
   
   
  As for the sergeant, he can hardly ignore a hall full of witnesses even if he wanted to. And they're all pointing the finger at his date, Milverton's newest arrival, Addison Harper. 
   
   
   
  Poison at Penshaw Hall is the latest in a wonderful cozy mystery series set in an enchanting small town nestled amongst stunning New Zealand scenery. Investigate The Milverton Mysteries for a chaotic cast of local busybodies, delicious baked treats, a demanding and disdainful ginger cat, a very slow-burn romance with a rather appealing policeman, and of course . . . murder!

  🪡 Needlework shop owner and embroidery expert Tilly Thimble is preparing for the annual Stitchery Showcase when the town's most competitive needlepointer is found dead in her shop—pricked by a poisoned needle protruding from a valuable antique thimble. The police suspect a tragic crafting accident, but Tilly recognizes the thimble as part of a stolen collection and notices the victim's latest needlepoint contains a hidden message in the stitch pattern. With her shop under scrutiny and the stitching community in knots, Tilly must thread together an investigation as delicate as fine embroidery. Assisted by her embroidery circle and the handsome antiques appraiser valuing her thimble collection, Tilly uncovers a scheme involving thimble theft, forged samplers, and a smuggling ring for historic sewing tools. From suspicious needle marks that reveal left-handed stitching to thread fibers that don't match the period, every detail points to a killer with a sharp eye for textiles. But when Tilly discovers the victim was blackmailing fellow stitchers about their family secrets hidden in heirloom samplers, she realizes the killer is protecting a legacy more intricate than any needlepoint. With the showcase just days away and the real culprit still weaving deception, Tilly must unpick this tangled web before her own thread gets permanently snipped.

  A father searches for his missing son in 1953 Tehran in this brilliantly plotted espionage thriller from the bestselling author of Triple Cross.   London, 1953. Harry Towers is a recently retired, and even more recently widowed, British intelligence officer. But he springs to action when hears that his estranged son Sean has disappeared in Tehran after writing a damning article about the involvement of government officials in the opium trade.   In Tehran, a city on the brink of a historic coup, Harry’s career as a spy soon proves perfect training for this much more personal mission as American, British, Iranian, and French players flit in and out of the scene. But as the first attempt at a coup in the city fails and foreign powers jockey for oil, money, and influence, Sean’s disappearance takes on a more sinister tone. Was he really taken in retribution for his reporting, or is this an attempt to silence a globally significant revelation he was preparing to make?   Or, most terrifying of all, does Sean’s disappearance have nothing to do with him at all? Has Harry’s past caught up to them all?  Praise for Tom Bradby   “[A] cracking, uber-topical spy thriller . . . a plot full of twists and turns.” —Financial Times   “Enthralling and fast-moving . . . packed with details of modern tradecraft in the twilight world of spooks, against a background of politics at its most Machiavellian, it is the stuff headlines are made of.” —Daily Mail   “Bradby masterfully combines textured psychological drama with a rip-roaring plot that boasts several dizzying switchbacks along the way to a genuinely shocking conclusion.” —Booklist (starred review)
