Summary

Jake thought he had left the ghosts of his past behind, but the death of his father drags him back into the heart of a family fractured by secrets, loss, and betrayal. Once a bright and loving home, their sprawling estate now feels like a labyrinth of grief, where the memory of Lucy, Jake's adopted sister who vanished without a trace, haunts every corner.

As Jake reconnects with his estranged family, he begins to uncover the tangled web of lies and resentment that shaped his childhood. His mother's obsession with appearances, his father's unravelling mind, and the mysterious figures who once orbited their lives all seem to point to the same dark truth: Lucy.

When strange visions of her begin to creep into his waking life, Jake is forced to question his own sanity. Is Lucy calling out for justice – or pulling him into the same despair that consumed his father?

In this psychological thriller, family loyalty collides with buried truths, and the cost of uncovering them might be more than Jake can bear. As time runs out, Jake must face a terrifying question: Is the past ever truly gone, or does it grow stronger the longer it stays hidden?

    When Cherringham Pickleball Club Captain Carl Roper is found dead on the courts, it looks like just an unfortunate accident. But for Jack and Sarah, that story doesn’t add up. As they investigate the club, the players, and a big pending deal, they find themselves in a race against time to find the real reason Carl Roper died - and the identity of his killer ...

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby.


Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

When a serial killer strikes in Yellowstone National Park, leaving a mysterious trail of geothermal deaths, National Parks Officer Peyton Risk, solving homicides within the National parks, is summoned to hunt him down. With Peyton’s deep knowledge of the wilderness, she can track a killer as no one can. Yet this time, she may be walking right into a trap….

WHAT’S HIS (A Peyton Risk Suspense Thriller—Book 1) is the debut novel in a new series by mystery and suspense author Ella Swift.

Raised in the heart of the mountains by avid outdoors enthusiasts, Peyton followed in her parents’ footsteps and became an expert in the natural world. Until, at just 12 years old, an idyllic family camping trip in their favorite national park turned into a nightmare. Her parents were brutally murdered, the killer vanished into the wild, and the case went cold.

Despite being haunted by the unsolved deaths of her parents, Peyton turned her trauma into determination, studying environmental science in college and becoming a respected National Parks Officer. Peyton’s unique perspective blends an intuition for the outdoors with a sharp intellect that allows her to decipher secrets hidden within the parks—set on ensuring that no other family endures the same pain that hers did. 

But will she find herself the next victim claimed in the park’s unforgiving wilderness?

A page-turning and harrowing thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured protagonist, the PEYTON RISK series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
