Beschreibung

“I absolutely loved reading this, edge of your seat gripping thriller . . . totally captivated me from beginning to end . . . fantastic.” —Goodreads reviewer, five starsIn England’s East Midlands, a harried police detective juggles multiple cases that soon reveal the depths of human depravity . . . DI Tim Yates has been following up for months on reports of missing farm machinery—with no success—when a local farmer and philanthropist is physically assaulted. Could this be a lead? If so, it doesn’t take Yates very far, since the victim, Jack Fovargue, refuses to accept any help. Meanwhile, there’s a more urgent case to attend to—a decapitated body has been found in the Fossdyke Canal. This may be the first clue that finally connects a series of recent disappearances: a paper girl out on her rounds; a prostitute abducted off the street; an immigrant woman who vanished after stepping off a bus. After frogmen find two more corpses in the canal, and Yates’s researcher wife notes a similarity to a long-ago case someone is already in prison for, the situation starts becoming as murky as the canal itself . . .

    🍗 Leftover food blogger and meal prep expert Remy Nance is hosting a "Second Helpings" cooking competition when the contest's celebrity judge—a notoriously wasteful food personality—is found dead in the test kitchen, surrounded by suspiciously arranged Thanksgiving leftovers. The police suspect food poisoning, but Remy notices the leftovers have been deliberately temperature-abused and the victim's social media posts contain coded hashtags about food waste fraud. With her blog's reputation on the line and the sustainable food community in chaos, Remy must reheat this cold case to boiling point. Assisted by her foodie followers and the handsome food safety inspector analyzing bacterial growth, Remy uncovers a scheme involving food waste embezzlement, fake charity donations, and a plot to sabotage sustainable chefs. From suspicious mold patterns that reveal intentional spoilage to temperature logs that don't match safety standards, every reheated dish tells a story. But when Remy discovers the victim was systematically diverting donated food to landfill while claiming massive tax write-offs, she realizes the killer is protecting hunger relief efforts more nourishing than any five-star meal. With the competition finale approaching and the real food fraudster still cooking the books, Remy must plate up the evidence before her own career gets permanently shelved.

    The Maine of Not When I'm Gone is about mother nature, the sea, the woods, the tides, the seasons, sunrise and sunset. It is also about human nature, about locals on an island called Pulpit, locals from downstreet and wealthy summer people, the up-islanders, and about how these socially distinct populations disrupt the island calm when they mix.  Locale matters, so do characters, but central to Not When I'm Gone are events that happen on the Fourth of July weekend. Locals are drinking, partying, waiting for fireworks. The Coast Guard is like them, cruising the bay, but not patrolling much, most of the sailors below deck, with girlfriends, celebrating the holiday. It is the perfect moment for a multi-million drug drop to take place. A boat from Panama is hardly noticed when it slips into the bay.  Not When I'm Gone is told from alternating points of view: Famel, Sarah, Rick, Emily. The women try to help the men they love, the men try to help themselves. If all islands are included, with a longer and more difficult to patrol shoreline than the rest of the 49 other states combined, during Prohibition, the state of Maine was the focal point for rum running. Now drug runners have stepped in. The stakes are higher. And the fall from grace more dramatic.
