Summary

In the tranquil village of Kovensehn, nestled amidst green hills and dense forests, life used to follow its peaceful and undisturbed course. Its inhabitants had known each other for generations, and the old houses whispered stories of times gone by. But even in the most serene places, secrets can hide in the shadows, and curiosity can unleash forces that should never have been set free. 
  
On a sunny summer afternoon, a young and determined couple, Arina and Denys, arrived in Kovensehn seeking a fresh start. Their old life in the city had been a whirlwind of stress and anxiety, and they longed for a quiet refuge for themselves and their young daughter, Annael. With a house that seemed to emerge from a fairy tale, Kovensehn appeared to be the perfect place to begin anew. 
  
However, their idyllic life would soon take a sinister turn. Inside the house they had acquired, at the very top of the attic, they found a locked door. Neighbors' rumors warned of the forbidden room, but Arina and Denys' curiosity proved stronger than any caution. 
  
Opening the room unleashed an ancient and dark evil that threatened to plunge Kovensehn into a nightmare no one could have imagined. Shadows spread, inexplicable events shook the village's peace, and in the midst of it all, Arina and Denys were forced to confront a terrifying reality. 
  
This is the account of their struggle, a battle against an evil that should have never been set free, a fight that would lead them to uncover dark secrets buried in the village's past and forge an unbreakable alliance with their brave neighbor, Kateryna. 
  
Join Arina, Denys, and their daughter Annael on a journey through the shadows as they confront the terror they have unleashed and make unthinkable sacrifices in their quest for redemption.

    London is in flux. The clop of the hansom cab has given way to the madness of the motorcar. And Sherlock Holmes, safe in the bee-loud glades of the Sussex downs, is lured back to London when a problem is posed to him by Dr. Watson and Watson's friend, Col. Higgins. Is the transformation of Eliza Doolittle from girl of the streets to duchess more than it seems? Is it really the work of Henry Higgins's phonetics lessons or has another girl been substituted for her, and why? Has the original girl been murdered? Even Eliza’s father can't say for sure. 
 
 
 
Posing as a rich American gangster, Holmes infiltrates the Higgins household. He meets Freddy, a seemingly ubiquitous suitor, and the mysterious Baron Von Stettin, Bavarian attaché. He brushes up against a doctor whose potions can turn Eliza from a spitfire into a kitten. And he faces a deadly enemy who had been thought dead for twenty years. The world of Sherlock Holmes will never be the same.

The police start finding bodies. And more bodies. Because, once you start killing people, it’s difficult to stop. New names get added to the list. All men, and all sexually interfered with. Why not? That’s what the three men did to Rita. Revenge is sweet. 
PC Jamie Pearson and Rita were teenagers together once. Jamie wants to find Rita. Which is also the aim of reporter Bernadette Spence. Jamie wants Rita’s soul and Bernadette wants her story. And Deborah wants both of them dead.

Finally we have a thriller that will keep you on your toes. I truly enjoyed myself and will be recommending it to anyone I see for the next few months. 
Review NetGalley Reviewer Leila B: 5 Stars What a fantastic read. So gripping from the start and fast pace. With a few murders and serial killers on the loose, the story kept me hooked until the last page. Definitely an author to keep my eye on. Can't wait for book 2.

Detective Chief Inspector Maigret, who happens to be nearby heading up a mobile unit, arrives swiftly to resolve the growing confusion. Though a chill sets over town, with townspeople remaining tight-lipped, Maigret’s pursuit of the truth in Georges Simenon’s The Yellow Dog makes for a thrilling, breathless adventure.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
