  📚 When the Harmony Hills Book Club gathers for their monthly meeting, they expect lively debate about this month's thriller selection—not to become characters in a real-life murder mystery. But when their most controversial member, wealthy socialite Beatrice Worthington, collapses dead after sipping poisoned tea, retired librarian and book club founder Agnes Merryweather knows this was no accident. With the police baffled by a complete lack of evidence and every club member hiding secrets, Agnes decides to do what she does best: research the crime. Using her literary knowledge and keen understanding of human nature gained from decades of reading, Agnes notices clues others miss—a book out of place, a dog-eared page that shouldn't be there, a literary quote that feels more like a threat. Teaming up with the charming new bookstore owner and her fellow book club members, Agnes discovers that Beatrice's death is connected to a decades-old scandal buried in the town's history. But as she gets closer to the truth, the killer sends a chilling message by leaving a bloody bookmark in her favorite novel...

  We are introduced to Nancy Flanagan, a young Irish Catholic woman who migrates from post-war Ireland to England to train as a nurse. The narrative chronicles her inner turmoil as she struggles with the guilt surrounding her decision to leave her illegitimate child, Maeve, in Ireland. The story unfolds as Nancy navigates life in a new country post-World War II, encountering haunting memories, building friendships, and witnessing tragic moments as she diligently pursues her nursing career. The plot thickens when she becomes deeply involved with a mysterious patient, John, who bears physical and emotional scars from his past, which links him to the horrors of war and a demonic presence that threatens to tear Nancy's life apart. She must fight what pursues her, and traveling to Argentina with a ragtag team, she is unsure what awaits her.   
  The story features paranormal events, and Nancy and John are linked to mythical beings and evil that threaten to destroy them. In the decision to right the wrongs of her past, Nancy unravels mysteries and discovers her latent gifts. Nancy is a relatable heroine wrestling with her past decisions, channelling her guilt into her work and the care of others. John, the enigmatic patient, evokes both sympathy and suspicion as his traumatic stories reveal a multifaceted individual shaped by the tumult of history. Suspense builds throughout the narrative, especially by introducing the supernatural elements represented by the demonic creature Azazel. This presence augments the tension within the plot and symbolises Nancy's internal struggles and the burden of her guilt.   
  This noirish, quickly-paced, and emotionally charged thriller features an intriguing character development that blends effortlessly with a deeply disturbing plotline.
