Synopsis

All five books in 'Skeletons In The Cupboard', a series of cozy mystery novels by A.J. Griffiths-Jones, now in one volume!
 
The Villagers: Olive and Geoffrey are happier than ever. After moving to the countryside to bring up their three young children, they are welcomed with open arms by the friendly residents of the chocolate box village. But beyond the veil of rhododendrons and net curtains of this English country village, there is something more. As Olive's discoveries become more and more sinister, she begins to fear for her own sanity, and has to make choices that will decide the fate of her family.
 
The Seasiders: Grace & Dick Thomas are the proud owners of the Sandybank Guest House, a popular establishment set in a prime location overlooking the beach. Tourists come and go all year round, taking advantage of the beautiful setting and their host's wonderful culinary skills. However, it is the permanent residents of this pretty coastal town who cause net curtains to flutter and tongues to wag, with their myriad of secrets and tales to be told. Caught up in their midst, the Thomases live their lives regardless, checking guests in and checking guests out. But who holds the biggest secret of all?
 
The Congregation: The people of a bustling mining town in 1970s England are not sure to expect when their new, aloof Reverend Matthews descends upon his unfamiliar parish. Nevertheless, he is welcomed with open arms and gathered into the flock. However, on discovering a journal left by his predecessor, the clergyman soon begins to wonder what secrets lie behind the seemingly innocent lives of his congregation. The unexpected arrival of the Bishop causes the vicar to question his own past and a cloud descends upon his beliefs, causing chaos to both himself and the townsfolk residing just a stone's throw away.
 
The Circus: The year is 1985, and O'Hare's Travelling Circus is touring the country, taking the spectacular acts of clowns, high-flying acrobats and a muscular strongman to enthralled audiences across the land. They also have Psychic Sheila - resident fortune-teller and agony aunt - who stumbles through life one disastrous, romantic interlude at a time. Of course, no close-knit group would be complete without its fair share of secrets, and who better to uncover them than Sheila, with her sixth-sense and natural nose for a good mystery. But for some members of the clan, time is running out, and the race to uncover the biggest secret of all is on.
 
The Expats: In a leafy suburb of Shanghai lives Li Yang: a local employed by various foreign families to take care of their needs. It's the turn of the millennium and China is evolving. At the centre of the dynamic change is the vibrant hub of Shanghai: a place of luck, fortune and chance. In awe of the homes in which these strange people live, the housekeeper Li Yang gets to know the families who she's working with. What the westerners don't know is that in addition to her unusual working life, Li Yang has a turbulent home life, with her own son beginning to hide things from her. Something is going on, but Li Yang just can't seem to work out what it is. As the clock ticks, will she be able to stop the impending events before she loses the one thing she loves most?

    The Second World War was fought not only on the front lines but also in secrets, some of which have never been revealed. One such secret was buried in the deep, dark forest of Katyn, Poland. The other in the pages of a notebook hidden in an otherwise unremarkable café in an ancient Polish city.
    		 
    That notebook, known as the Scottish Book, was an obscure work of intellectual gamesmanship between a specialized group of mathematicians who met at a local pub near the town’s medieval university, where they shared and solved complex mathematical problems in the pages of the book. In 1939, as the Nazis overran the country, the book mysteriously vanished from its hiding place in the café. Some of its contributors avoided certain death by fleeing Poland  for America, where the government recruited them. Ultimately, some of these intellectuals became participants in a deadly undertaking: the Manhattan Project.
    		 
    Who Has Buried the Dead? may be fiction, but it draws on years of research to plausibly answer the real questions surrounding one of the last great secrets of the Second World War. What did the Scottish Book contain that led the NKVD, the Gestapo, and the Allies on a desperate search, using any means to find it? Why has its existence not factored into the telling of Second World War history? What is ultimately revealed within the Scottish Book that brought mortal enemies and their top spy operatives into a deadly contest for its discovery and seizure?

    In the first book of the series, Danger in Plain Sight, Callie James discovers that her bartender, Cash Logan, is smuggling erotic ivory carvings, netsuke, into her restaurant. Callie pitches a fit, has him arrested, then famously says, “When you get out of jail, don’t ever come back here.” 
    Two years later, Callie’s ex-husband, a French investigative reporter, is almost killed when he shows up at her restaurant, after a fourteen-year absence, asking for her help. Callie has no choice but to take on an unlikely ally, Cash Logan. This improbable, incompatible team has to save her ex, her business, and ultimately their own lives. 
    Now in Rough Justice, Callie and Cash are back, and their world is about to explode. 
    The scene is set as Callie and Cash are eating a late dinner upstairs at her restaurant, The Bronze Pig. 
    It’s been a year since they saved her ex-husband’s life and subsequently had to take on unexpected, lethal adversaries. During that process—confronting kidnapping, murder and assassins burning down her restaurant—they came together, and unexpectedly, they discover that they care deeply, romantically, for one another. Now, they’ve grown comfortable together, no, more than that, against all odds, their feelings for each other have evolved beyond anything they’ve ever known—they’re wildly in love. 
    So, imagine their surprise when they get an unexpected, half-Algerian female guest, twenty-five-year-old Sara, showing up at the restaurant and insisting on telling them her shocking, unbelievable story. Someone is trying to kill her, and they’ve stolen her identity. She needs their help now, and she has a stunning, life-changing secret to tell. 
    Yet, again, Cash and Callie assemble their unconventional ragtag family—including peg-legged Andre, and Itzac, “The Macher.” Together, they go to war with formidable adversaries to save Sara, and ultimately their own lives. The fierce battle leads them to Cuba where they have to launch an audacious offensive that shocks even them…and will absolutely take your breath away.
