'Clever, funny, ingenious and endearing' Lissa Evans'The most audacious plot ever... gritty, engrossing and great fun' Beth Morrey'A great story, fast, dramatic, funny, full of the sounds and smells of Elizabethan London' Andy Hamilton 
It’s 1593, Elizabeth I is Queen and everyone is terrified of the worst outbreak of plague in a generation. Shakespeare has only written six plays and is lagging behind his friend Christopher Marlowe, London’s leading playwright. 
When Marlowe is stabbed to death in mysterious circumstances, rumours abound – but the one that won’t go away is that Shakespeare did it to remove his greatest rival. Will is determined to clear his name, and teams up with his old flame, Marlowe’s sister Ann, who has plenty of secrets of her own. 
In their search to solve the crime, Will and Ann uncover a dark world of treachery, murder, and corruption – which in turn provides Shakespeare with scenes and characters which will appear in his greatest plays. Murder Most Foul is a dark, witty and fast-paced novel, from one of Britain’s best-loved screenwriters. 
'An ingenious, funny and erudite thriller' John O'Farrell'Funny, thrilling and full of wonderful easter eggs for Shakespearean theatre fans... a treat from start to finish' David Greig

    A sarcastic psychic. A partner she can’t read. A mystery that refuses to stay buried. 
    Diana Hawthorne sees more than most people—except when it comes to her own past. With snark to spare and an eye-roll always at the ready, she helps clients navigate everything from cheating boyfriends to dearly departed grandmas. But when a missing person case lands on her doorstep—and the broody, too-good-looking Blake strolls into her life—things get weird. 
    And not in the fun, “let’s light some sage and manifest good vibes” kind of way. 
    For the first time ever, Diana’s gifts fall short. Blake’s a total psychic blind spot, and the case they’re tangled in? It reeks of something bigger… something ancient. 
    Now Diana must piece together a puzzle that could blow her carefully constructed reality to bits—all while pretending she’s not completely thrown by the mysterious man who makes her second-guess everything. 
    For fans of smart-mouthed heroines, supernatural suspense, and mythology with a modern twist—Oracle is your next binge-worthy obsession.

    In book two of the Camille Delaney Mystery series, a mother turns to Camille for help investigating a top Seattle doctor after tragedy strikes the delivery room.  
     
    Seattle attorney Camille Delaney is cash-strapped and struggling to balance the demands of her new solo legal practice with raising her three daughters. But when an emergency C-section goes wrong and a baby dies in the delivery room, the mother, Helene Anderson, shows up at Camille’s office asking for help. Facing the challenge of a legal system where child-loss verdicts are limited by the dollar value placed on a child’s life, Camille considers a quick settlement for the family. But Helene insists: her child’s life had value, and Camille needs to prove it in court.  
     
    Camille agrees to take the case to trial. The defendants are Dr. Jessica Kensington, one of Seattle’s top doctors and beloved volunteer and society hostess, and her medical practice partner, her father, the glad-handing, high-profile Dr. Kip Davenport. Dr. Kensington is respected in the community and stellar on the stand. But Camille and her friend PI Trish Seaholm begin to uncover what happened in the delivery room—and what lies behind Dr. Kensington’s seemingly flawless facade. Unstable behavior at work, flagrant breaches of care, and clues about a dark family past that lead to a high-security psychiatric facility are just some of what they unearth about Dr. Kensington. But pieces of the picture are missing: how could the doctor treat Helene and her baby so irresponsibly?  
      
    As the case builds toward trial, and as she grapples with the deep inequities of the justice system, will Camille be able to uncover the evidence she needs to convince a jury of Dr. Kensington’s guilt? And can she offer some semblance of peace to a grieving mother?
