  She wanted to avenge her father. She needed to save herself. 
   
   
   
  When Detective Callie Forde is called to the home of a missing teenaged girl, she doesn't initially suspect foul play. Hampstead is a quiet college town. It's safe if you don't count the other girl. But as the hours wear on with no sign of Natalie, the police are forced to consider the teenager might have been abducted. 
   
   
   
  No one is more surprised than Callie when all their leads are eerily similar to that of another case, the five-year-old cold case that ended with a botched investigation, a shooting, and her father in a wheelchair. 
   
   
   
  Determined not to make the same mistakes he made, Callie races to find the girl, avenge her father, and maybe, stop history from repeating itself.

  When a 10-year-old child is suspected of a violent crime, her family must face the truth about their past in this haunting, propulsive, psychologically keen story about class, trauma, and family secrets from “huge literary talent” (Karl Ove Knausgaard) and internationally bestselling author Megan Nolan. It's 1990 in London and Tom Hargreaves has it all: a burgeoning career as a reporter, fierce ambition and a brisk disregard for the "peasants" -- ordinary people, his readers, easy tabloid fodder. His star seems set to rise when he stumbles across a sensational scoop: a dead child on a London estate, grieving parents beloved across the neighborhood, and the finger of suspicion pointing at one reclusive family of Irish immigrants and “bad apples”: the Greens. At their heart sits Carmel: beautiful, otherworldly, broken, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances until life - and love - got in her way. Crushed by failure and surrounded by disappointment, there's nowhere for her to go and no chance of escape. Now, with the police closing in on a suspect and the tabloids hunting their monster, she must confront the secrets and silences that have trapped her family for so many generations.

  Christmas in Mooselick River is all tinsel, twinkle lights…and murder. 
  After the year she’s had, Everly Dupree is ready for the holiday season—baking cookies, trimming the tree, guzzling eggnog, and indulging in one of her favorite traditions: the town’s annual Christmas lighting contest. 
  But murder never takes a holiday, and in Mooselick River, even Christmas comes with a body count. As displays are sabotaged, old grudges resurface, and bitter rivalries boil over, it’s starting to look like the lighting contest is about more than just dazzling decorations. 
  Then tenacious journalist Amber Hale turns up strangled with a string of Christmas lights, her corpse staged like a macabre holiday display—and her ghost becomes Everly’s newest problem. 
  The more she learns, the clearer it seems that Amber wasn't just chasing a headline. She was running from something—and if Everly isn’t careful, she’ll become the next holiday tragedy Mooselick River has to sweep under the snow.

  In the idyllic English town of Shepton Rise, drama is a way of life for Ginny Fellows—but usually, it stays on stage. As a theatrical agent for the Dead Actors, a lively troupe of performers known for their memorable on-screen demises, Ginny is well-versed in the art of make-believe. But when a real-life murder darkens the curtains of Shepton Rise, Ginny must take center stage as an unlikely sleuth.
