    ‘Dark, twisty, gripping and dripping with authenticity…I loved it’ Peter James'An electrifying thriller' Woman's Own 
    PR guru Lola Lovett’s client has gone missing, but that’s not the problem. It’s the fact that he’s meant to be at home. Already dead. 
    But Lola hasn’t come this far in life to let an inconvenience like an undead actor stop her from getting what she wants, so she immediately sets about getting close to the investigation into his disappearance…and DCI Sue Fisher. 
    Sue’s been laying low ever since the Medford nail bar case, determined to focus on her grieving son Tom and moving on from the horrors they’ve faced, but the search for actor Sam Stevens throws up unexpected challenges. Because in the glitzy, glamorous world of showbiz it’s not a matter of discovering who might be keeping secrets, but rather, determining who is willing to kill to keep them…Praise for Natalie Tambini:

    Everyone has secrets, some deadlier than others. Psychic Ryley St. James's secrets threaten to kill her, and now both the living and the dead are out for blood. 
     
     
     
    There's nothing that Ryley hates worse than her father, but serial killers rank a close second. Alive or dead, they're all the same—they need to be stopped. When a ghostly serial killer torments a young girl, Ryley must put an end to his reign of terror and figure out a way to shove him into the great beyond. 
     
     
     
    But when a fellow psychic turns up dead, and another one suddenly goes missing, Ryley suspects that it's not just the ghostly threats she needs to worry about. There's also a live predator lurking somewhere in the shadows. 
     
     
     
    As she gets closer to the truth, she's forced to confront her own personal demons. Her father's sinister presence is getting dangerously close to her life, the reapers are demanding answers, and the ghostly serial killer wants to add her to his body count. 
     
     
     
    It's not a matter of if she'll die but who will get credit for killing her first. 
     
     
     
    Can she keep it together long enough to battle the secrets from her past and deal with these new killers before it's too late?

    Sir Roger Parkes is a man of some influence in the West Country. When he loses touch with his youngest daughter, he has a word with the Assistant Chief Constable of the local force. It's not a police matter, he is told, but if Sir Roger wants to pursue it privately, there is a lady who might be able to help—two of them, actually. As far as Summer Lane is concerned, she has enough problems without going into the investigations business with her next door neighbor; Mrs. Emily Willows's problems all seem to center around the fact that her neighbor is refusing to go into the investigations business with her. They have reached, it seems, an impasse. Until, that is, Emily notices that someone has left a message on her answering machine . . .

    Synopsis– Last Train to Dhanushkodi 
    Last Train to Dhanushkodi is a gripping thriller set against the haunting backdrop of one of India’s most tragic natural disasters. On a stormy night in 1964, a passenger train bound for the island town of Dhanushkodi departs amidst rising winds and restless tides. As the journey unfolds, passengers sense something ominous in the air — whispers of an approaching cyclone, a sense of destiny closing in. When a monstrous tidal wave strikes, the line between life and death blurs, and the island city is swallowed by the sea. Through vivid narration and emotional depth, this audiobook captures the courage, fear, and final moments of those aboard the ill-fated train — the last one ever to reach Dhanushkodi. A story of nature’s fury, human spirit, and fate’s cruel twist, Last Train to Dhanushkodi will stay with listeners long after the final wave falls silent.
