Sinopsis

In "The Mill House Mystery," Florence Warden delves into the intricate tapestry of human relationships against the backdrop of a rural English setting. The narrative unfolds with a deft combination of suspense and melodrama, employing a rich, atmospheric style that immerses the reader in the complexities of the characters' motivations. Warden's use of vivid descriptions and her keen understanding of societal norms of the late 19th century enhance the novel's sense of authenticity, reflecting the Victorian fascination with mystery and the supernatural while incorporating elements of psychological intrigue. Florence Warden, a prolific author of the Victorian era, was notable for her contributions to both fiction and journalism. Raised in a culturally vibrant environment, her experiences as a woman writer in a male-dominated literary world informed her portrayal of female characters struggling against societal constraints. This background, coupled with her keen observations of rural life, likely influenced the compelling narrative and character development found in "The Mill House Mystery." For readers who enjoy a finely crafted mystery steeped in the psychological undercurrents of its time, this novel offers an engaging exploration of moral dilemmas and social intrigue. Warden's remarkable storytelling and richly woven prose make this book a must-read for enthusiasts of classic mystery literature.

    Booker-nominated Graeme Macrae Burnet returns to the historic Scotland of His Bloody Project to tell the multi-layered story of madness and murder in the MacPhee family. 
      
    During the summer of 1857 on the distant Scottish Island of Benbecula, Angus MacPhee, returning from a fortnight’s work at a house a few miles away, seems to have lost his mind, forcing his family to keep him shackled to his bed. When he is finally allowed to go at large, his erratic behaviour leads to the conviction that he should be committed to an asylum. 
      
    Five years later, Malcolm MacPhee is living alone in the house where his brother’s madness led to horrifying ends. Isolated, ostracised by his small community, Malcolm is haunted, the stench of his brother’s crimes lingering as the reek cleaves to the thatch. Is he afflicted by the same madness? And to where has his sister Marion disappeared? 
      
    Drawing on letters, asylum records, and witness statements, Graeme Macrae Burnet returns to the historic Scotland of His Bloody Project to construct a beguilingly layered narrative about madness, murder, and the uncertain nature of the self. 
      
    “The novel’s devilish appeal lies in the intoxicated and isolated Malcolm’s narration from within the confines of his family’s ‘skullhouse,’ where he muses about his own morality … The author once again proves his mastery of moody psychological thrillers.”—Publishers Weekly

    A TRUE-CRIME-OBSESSED YOUNG ARTIST IS DRAWN INTO THE LIVES OF A DELIRIOUSLY WEALTHY FAMILY IN THIS FANTASTICALLY ENTERTAINING THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF OTHER PEOPLE’S CLOTHES. 
     
    Recently dumped and stuck with the mortgage, artist Esther Ray wants to burn down the world, but instead, she reluctantly accepts a scrapbooking job from the deliriously wealthy Naomi Duncan. The scrapbooks, a secret birthday gift for Naomi’s husband, Bryce, trace the Duncans’ twenty-five-year marriage. The conditions: Esther must include every piece of paper she’s been sent, must sign an NDA, and must only contact Naomi using the burner phone provided. Otherwise, she’ll spoil the surprise. 
     
    As Esther binges true-crime podcasts and works through the nearly two hundred boxes of Duncan detritus, she finds herself infatuated with the gilded family—until, midproject, Naomi dies suspiciously. When Esther becomes convinced the husband killed her, she uses the scrapbooks’ trove of information to insert herself into the Duncans’ lives to prove it. But the more Esther investigates, the further she is dragged back to the scorched earth of her own past in the art world. 
     
    Laced with pitch-black humor and conspiratorial unease, Scrap is a razor-sharp examination of wealth and power, art and truth, of the line between justice and revenge—and who gets to cross it. 
     
    "[A] black comedy that revels in the fabulously entertaining dysfunction at the heart of the world's disgustingly wealthy … Henkel's lacerating eye for the morally ambiguous keeps you hooked."—Daily Mail

    Widowed matchmaker Millie Fisher is anything but lonely between her mischievous goats, her quilting circle—and her habit of solving the odd murder or two . . . 
     
     
      
    Millie's decidedly not Amish best friend, Lois Henry, is outspoken, colorful, and so hopelessly romantic, she's had four husbands. Millie doesn't judge, and she also doesn't expect to run into Lois's most recent ex, gambler Gerome Moorhead, in small-town Harvest, Ohio. With him is the very young, new Mrs. Moorhead, aka "Honey Bee." Lois is outraged, but Millie is completely shocked to learn the next day that Gerome is already a widower . . . 
     
     
      
    When a large wood carving at the cozy Munich Chalet falls on "Honey Bee," all eyes turn toward Lois. Who else would want a tourist—a complete stranger—dead? And half of Harvest witnessed Lois's enmity toward the young woman. Suddenly Millie must put aside her sewing needle and flex her sleuthing skills. She's no stranger to a murder investigation, after all, and if she doesn't learn who killed Honey Bee, Lois could go from Millie's boisterous best friend to her horrified prison pen pal . . .
