  From multimillion-copy best-selling author Willow Rose comes the next chapter in the best-selling Emma Frost mystery series. Emma Frost is tied up in a murder mystery that seems out of this world. When a young girl disappears one night from the park, then turns up again the next morning in a different place on the island, people start to talk about her. Was she drunk and just unable to remember what happened? Did she go home with a guy and won't admit it? What happened to her, and why is she insisting that she doesn't know? Emma Frost is fighting for Victor's best friend, Skye. Emma is trying to get her back from the people who took her in the night, but having no luck, when a guy falls into her arms in the street and dies a few minutes later. The autopsy shows he has frozen to death, but it doesn't seem possible. When a young boy from Victor's school turns up frozen, as well, and things start to get cold around her own house, Emma begins to fear for her loved ones' lives. Once again, Willow Rose has written a story so compelling that it leaves the listener in almost unbearable suspense until the surprise ending is revealed.

  Richard Marsh - A Short Story...

  Richard Bernard Heldmann was born on 12th October 1857, in St Johns Wood, North London.  
   
  By his early 20’s Heldmann began publishing fiction for the myriad magazine publications that had sprung up and were eager for good well-written content.  
   
  In October 1882, Heldmann was promoted to co-editor of Union Jack, a popular magazine, but his association with the publication ended suddenly in June 1883.  It appears Heldman was prone to issuing forged cheques to finance his lifestyle.  In April 1884 he was sentenced to 18 months hard labour. 
    
  In order to be well away from the scandal and the damage that this had caused to his reputation Heldmann adopted a pseudonym on his release from jail.  Shortly thereafter the name ‘Richard Marsh’ began to appear in the literary periodicals.  The use of his mother’s maiden name as part of it seems both a release and a lifeline. 
   
  A stroke of very good fortune arrived with his novel ‘The Beetle’ published in 1897.  This would turn out to be his greatest commercial success and added some much-needed gravitas to his literary reputation.   
   
  Marsh was a prolific writer and wrote almost 80 volumes of fiction as well as many short stories, across many genres from horror and crime to romance and humour.   His unusual characters, plotting devices and other literary developments have identified his legacy as one of the best British writers of his time.   
   
  Richard Marsh died from heart disease in Haywards Heath in Sussex on 9th August 1915.  He was 57.

  The Woman in Cabin 10 is a pulse-pounding psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Lo Blacklock, a travel journalist recovering from a recent trauma, is given the opportunity of a lifetime: a luxury cruise aboard the Aurora, a newly launched ship. But what begins as a dream assignment quickly turns into a nightmare. Lo witnesses what she believes to be a woman being thrown overboard from one of the cabins. When she reports it, no one believes her—there is no sign of the woman, and the crew dismisses her concerns.
   
  As Lo's suspicion grows and her isolation deepens, she must navigate her own doubts, spiraling anxiety, and the growing sense that something is terribly wrong. With no one on her side, Lo becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about the woman in Cabin 10, even as her own mental state begins to unravel. Trusting herself becomes her greatest challenge as she faces uncertainty, paranoia, and the overwhelming feeling that no one is as they seem.
   
  This audiobook weaves a compelling narrative of suspense, mystery, and emotional tension. As Lo digs deeper into the mystery, the stakes get higher, and the lines between reality and illusion blur. Can Lo trust her own instincts and perceptions, or is her mind playing tricks on her? The Woman in Cabin 10 is a heart-racing journey into the unknown, where survival, truth, and self-doubt collide.
