Synopsis

In 'The Hampstead Mystery,' Arthur J. Rees masterfully weaves a gripping detective narrative set against the atmospheric backdrop of early 20th-century England. The novel unfolds with intricate plotting and compelling character development, showcasing Rees's keen understanding of human psychology and moral complexity. The story captivates readers with its suspenseful pacing and vivid descriptions of Hampstead's quaint yet foreboding locales, reflecting the tensions of the era and the genre, which straddles traditional whodunits and the burgeoning psychological thriller. Arthur J. Rees, an influential figure in mystery literature, penned this novel during a period when detective fiction was flourishing, partly inspired by his own experiences and interest in crime and the macabre. Born in Australia and later settling in England, Rees's diverse background and progressive thoughts are reflected in his exploration of societal issues and dark mysteries, ultimately shaping his narrative style and themes in 'The Hampstead Mystery.' I highly recommend 'The Hampstead Mystery' to enthusiasts of classic detective fiction and those drawn to intricate plots layered with psychological depth. This novel not only elucidates Rees's literary prowess but also transports readers into a meticulously crafted world of intrigue that inspires both contemplation and suspense.

    I thought I was finally getting the hang of being a paranormal policewoman, but when one of the gemstones powering the barrier around the town is stolen, I’m as terrified as the average Joe. Of course, there’s nothing average about the Joes in this town. It’s chock full of mythical creatures, and some of them think the barrier is a waste of time. 
    Well, I’ve seen the cryptid monster beyond and I know we’re doomed if the magical palisade ever fails. Calling what would follow a massacre would be a gross understatement. The race is on. I need to find the gemstone before the weakened barrier fails forever and the fiend devours us all. No pressure then. 
    It’s a simple theft… how hard can it be to solve? Answer: Very hard. Especially when theft turns into murder. 
    There’s also the little outstanding matter of my date with the vampire leader, Connor, not to mention that my best friend seems to be falling apart at the seams. And if all of that isn’t enough to be cracking on with, I have a visitor due imminently. My mother. 
    I’d rather face the monster. 
    Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family and a slow-burn romance.

    Life on the Enchanted Coast just got a whole lot more interesting. With expansions to the resort that include a wing for larger species - giants, to be exact - and a forest complete with fairy pools and cottages to attract woodland species, witch Destiny Maganti is facing a whole new influx of paranormal guests. 
    When a mysterious woman is murdered during the official grand opening and a fairy loved by all is accused, she has her hands full. For the first time ever, the resort is divided, and it's all she can do to hold it together. 
    On top of solving a murder, she's also tasked with finding a replacement manager for the tiki. From stuffy professor types to lackadaisical surfers, her applicant pool is as frustrating as it entertaining, but something's gotta give. After all, she's a witch, not a superhero. 
    Join Destiny, Tempest, Colin, and the rest of the Enchanted Coast crew on yet another magical, fast-paced adventure full of humor, fruity drinks, and homicide.
