    It's an unhappy birthday when murder crashes the party—but luckily, a sleuthing baker is in the mix…

    Roy's daughter, Caroline, asks Shilpa to investigate, and delving into the Arden family dysfunction provides a surfeit of suspects: the much-younger second wife; the gardener-turned-son-in-law Roy never approved of; the brother he had a strained relationship with.
    
    Then Caroline turns up dead, too, and Shilpa has to burn the candle at both ends to find the culprit in this cozy culinary mystery by the author of A Slice of Murder.

    I've waited twenty years to kill you... 
     
    Two decades ago, something terrible happened. The survivors scattered. The guilty walked free. Now Ada MacGullach is returning to Castle Brora – her beloved Scottish Highland retreat – to renew her vows with her husband Del in front of their closest friends and family. Nestled among fifteen-thousand acres of ancient moorland and mist-shrouded forest, it should be the perfect celebration: old friends, fine whisky and years of marriage honoured in style. 
     
    But old friends carry old secrets. And not everyone who turns up has been invited. 
     
    Someone has travelled many miles to be here, carrying a twenty-year grudge and a hunger for vengeance that time has sharpened. As the Highland mist rolls in and cuts Brora off from the rest of the world, Ada will begin to understand that the people closest to her are not who she thought they were. 
     
    But then again, neither is she… 
     
    A darkly addictive thriller for fans of The Hunting Party and Big Little Lies – a story of dangerous marriages, hidden secrets and a weekend celebration that becomes something sinister. Once you start, there's no leaving early!

    Power is the deadliest weapon of all.
    When a U.S. nuclear submarine disappears in the North Atlantic, the President wastes no time declaring a national emergency. Rights are suspended. Fear is weaponized. The nation is told the crisis is unavoidable—and necessary.
    But aboard the missing submarine, Commander Darius McCann and ship superintendent Amy Russell uncover a chilling truth. The mission has been manipulated. Orders don't align. And the supposed threat bearing down on American soil appears carefully engineered rather than accidental.
    As panic grips the country, two NCIS investigators on land begin pulling at threads the administration insists must remain buried. What they discover points not to an external enemy, but to a President willing to manufacture catastrophe to consolidate power, silence opposition, and extend his control at any cost.
    With millions of lives hanging in the balance, McCann and Russell are forced into an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk plunging the nation into chaos—or remain silent and allow a corrupt leader to reshape America through fear.
    Set against the claustrophobic tension of a submerged battlefield and the ruthless machinations of the White House, Silent Waters is a gripping political techno-thriller about deception, power, and how easily democracy can be drowned when lies rise to the surface.
