    A trip to the French Riviera sounds like just the ticket for Marjorie and Mrs Jameson. But from the moment they step aboard the famous Blue Train to the Mediterranean coast, it becomes clear that this won’t be an ordinary vacation. 
    They’ve been invited to stay at the palatial Villa Beau Rivage for a month in the sun, after a dismal summer in London. Surrounded by diamond merchants, film stars, artists and art dealers, Marjorie is swept off her feet by her first experience of the beauty and colour of the Côte d’Azur. 
    She faces a dilemma when one particular artist sets her heart racing – but soon they are both caught up in the aftermath of a tragic death at a glamorous party. Luckily Mrs Jameson is there to keep her mind on the case, as they investigate just how far some people will go for money.

    This recording has been digitally produced by Ava Strong, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. FBI special agent Sofia Blake, with a Ph.D. in linguistics, can decipher any hidden codes, messages, or foreign languages the Bureau sends her way, finding patterns where others cannot and making her indispensable in tracking down the most heinous of serial killers. In Silicon Valley, when a brilliant software engineer is found dead in his office, the crime scene littered with lines of seemingly nonsensical code, Sofia must piece together the patterns to see what the engineers are missing—and stop the killer before he strikes again…
    
    “The plot has many twists and turns, but it is the ending, which I did not see coming at all, that totally defines this book as one of the most riveting that I have read in years.”

    An Edinburgh police detective is summoned to the island of Malta, in this gripping and atmospheric murder mystery set in the Victorian era.
    
    It is the summer of 1880, and DI Sam McQueen has been called away from the gray, damp streets of Edinburgh to investigate a case on the oppressively hot Mediterranean island of Malta. The local police chief is distinctly unwelcoming toward the interloper—but has no choice in the matter, since Admiral Collingwood's wealthy widow insists that her husband's fatal fall from the roof of their villa was no accident.
    
    
    Fortunately, McQueen gets help from a police physician and the resourceful daughter of a newspaper editor—support he will need as he tangles with local aristocrats, unearths secrets and conspiracies, and is faced with more suspicious deaths that may or may not be connected to the late admiral . . .

    "The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
    Holmes is contacted by Miss Violet Smith of Farnham, Surrey about an unusual turn in hers and her mother's lives. Violet's father has recently died and left his wife and daughter rather poor. There was an ad in the news asking about their whereabouts. Answering it, they met Mr. Carruthers and Mr. Woodley, the former a pleasant enough man, but the latter a bully. They had come from South Africa, where they had known Violet's uncle Ralph Smith, who had now also died in poverty and apparently wanted to see that his relatives were provided for. This struck Violet as odd, since she and her family had not heard a word from Smith since his departure for South Africa 25 years ago. Carruthers and Woodley explained that before dying, Ralph had heard of his brother's death and felt responsible for his survivors' welfare.

    ‘Captivated me straight away…  I devoured this book in one sitting, it was a thrilling read that was difficult to put back down.’ Hannah May Book Reviews. 
      
    "It was a person after all, but she was suspended in mid-air. Abi’s heart began to thump against her ribcage as the full horror of what she was seeing became apparent. Her shrill scream pierced the silence, startling birds into taking flight. ‘Help me!’ she cried. ‘Somebody please help!’" 
    When beautiful and bright Hannah is late for their morning run, her best friend Abi thinks nothing of it. Hannah isn’t always that reliable – she’s probably just overslept. 
    But as Abi runs through the woods, following the same route she always does, she is greeted by a horrifying sight: Hannah’s body, swaying in the breeze. 
    Detective Rachel Hart is called to the scene. Something seems wrong from the start. Hannah’s friends and family insist that she had everything to live for, and no one has a bad word to say about her. But when murder is confirmed, and Rachel starts digging, she soon realises that there were plenty of people with a reason to want Hannah dead. 
    Then a second woman is found strangled in the same wood, and everything Rachel thought is thrown into doubt. Is there a serial killer at work? 
    Rachel is determined to find answers before another life is lost – all the time unaware that the killer’s sights are focussed firmly on her. 
    Can Rachel unravel the deadly game before she walks into a trap? 
    A breathtakingly twisty thriller for fans of Rachel Abbott, Cara Hunter and Angela Marsons.
