The Concert Hall Killer

Jonathan Whitelaw

Lights, camera, murder
In the Lake District, someone’s laying on a deadly welcome…
The cast and crew of a popular TV crime drama are shooting in the Lake District – but behind the scenes, relationships are as tense as on-screen. The director’s reputation proceeds him, the two lead stars are feuding and rumours swirl.
Meanwhile the locals are enjoying the filming – Amita Kahtri and her friends from Penrith Bingo Club are becoming social media stars with their behind the scenes pictures from filming – although her son-in-law, Jason is taking it all with a pinch of salt.
But when on-screen slaughter gets swapped for real-life murder at the concert hall where the TV drama is based, and the genuine police are as baffled as the TV detectives, it falls to the locals to search for the truth. It seems like a taste of fame can be deadly – but what happens when a killer’s plots are wilder than anything the writers can dream up?
The humorous satire of the locals social media fame provides a stark contrast to the chilling mystery that unfolds in the concert hall. As the cosy, domestic stories of the cast and crew intertwine with the deadly plot, the line between fiction and reality blurs in this gripping thriller.
For fans of Hannah Hendy (A Terrible Village Poisoning), Dee Macdonald (A Body at Lavender Cottage), Peter Boland (DEATH OF A WILD SWIMMER an absolutely gripping British mystery full of twists), Russell Cooper (Aubrey Hall), and Richard Osman (We Solve Murders).

Courting Danger - A Green Witch...

P L Matthews

Something is definitely rotten in the state of the elves. 
Someone’s got a serious aim problem—or maybe not—because Green Witch Rhianne Alkenn just dodged an elven arrow by sheer luck. 
She fared better than poor Eldrin, who was stabbed with an elven dagger. Coincidence?  Not likely, because Rhianne finds out they are targeting her father too. 
The elven queen may have been heavy-handed, and Rhianne has plenty to say about the way she was dragged across to the Elven realm, but this is personal now. She’ll deal with the queen later.  
Top priority: find the murderous elf before his aim improves.

Peter Marzano

Taken from Carinhall  (Book 3 in the series) 
 
In 2012, when new CIA satellite images revive an old rumor and hint that gold and art plundered by Nazi Herman Göring may have been hidden in Grand Canary Island, Brian O’Sullivan and his Interpol team of Nina von Scholz and Erick Schmidt are thrust into their most perilous mission yet. A new clue shifts the search to Morocco, where a ruthless Russian faction races Brian's team to claim the treasure first. As Brian battles grief, betrayal, and revelations tied to his mother’s DiBotticino family legend, his partnership with Nina is tested in ways neither expected, including a new love interest. The hunt for the bounty, truth, and survival pushes the team led by Brian and Nina to their limits — and almost too far for Brian, when he is faced with a new, unexpected twist about Karl von Richter and his new nemesis, Ivan Sokolov. 
 
Taken from Carinhall is a high-stakes thriller of treasure, emotional reckoning, and shocking revelations.

The Adventure of the...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow, and is the second and final appearance of Mycroft Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" fourteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
The monotony of thick smog-shrouded London is broken by a sudden visit from Holmes' brother Mycroft. He has come about some missing, secret submarine plans. Seven of the ten pages - three are still missing - were found with Arthur Cadogan West's body. He was a young clerk in a government office at Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, whose body was found next to the Underground tracks near the Aldgate tube station, his head crushed. He had little money with him (although there appears to have been no robbery), theatre tickets, and curiously, no Underground ticket. The three missing pages by themselves could enable one of Britain's enemies to build a Bruce-Partington submarine.
