    The new Jesse O'Hara mystery, from the author of the acclaimed debut MURDER ON THE SPANISH SEAS, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Janet Evanovich! 
     
     
    Jesse O’Hara is unemployed. “A million dollar brain and a ten-cent personality,” her last employer said. With nothing better to do, Jesse accepts a request to go to Ireland to help a relative find his missing daughter. She expects to find the young woman quickly, and is looking forward to spending her trip touring and drinking, not necessarily in that order. 
     
     
     
    Once in Ireland, it’s clear to Jesse that the missing woman has met with foul play. In the course of her investigation she goes to greater and greater lengths to get to the truth, causing her to antagonize Ireland’s most dangerous drug kingpin, not to mention the IRA and the local gardai. 
     
     
     
    Aided by her near-photographic memory and dogged perseverance, Jesse is close to uncovering the truth, even as other people start to turn up dead. But she’s warned away from the investigation, and when she doesn’t back off, she’s threatened, attacked, and kidnapped. And when she is accused of murder, Jesse must use every ounce of wit and brainpower she has (left) to find a killer and not end up six feet under.

    It seems very unreal but the author is not only top-notch with his plot handling but he never strays from the bounds of reason. It isn’t easy to fool someone like detective sergeant Blick of Scotland Yard, but he does it. Blick is called in by an archeologist named Mr. Fransenmery to help solve the killing of Guy Markenmore, who had been away from the area for seven years and had returned because of the expected death of his father. There was a question of inheritance but Guy wanted it known he didn’t intend to file any claim for money and other holdings. Arriving back at the same time were a one-time love rival, John Harborough, and Veronica Leighton, whom they had once quarreled over … now the widowed Mrs. Tretheroe. Their mutual arrivals meant that “Why? became a key question. Detective Blick soon found that actions in the past by a youthful Guy might mean someone, not only with something to gain by his death, but also with a sort of “get even” attitude. Suspicion keeps shifting from one or the other. With a story in the golden age of crime fiction, it won’t be surprising if the surprise ending surprises you.

    The Château du Ciel was once the destination for the rich and famous to play, drink and ski—complete with a private railway to shuttle those desiring extra privacy—now, however, the guests are few and far between. The New Year’s Eve party was supposed to hoist the rundown hotel back to its former status, until a massive blizzard hits, trapping the guests who’ve come to celebrate the grand hotel’s last hurrah. The circumstances might even be romantic, if the hotel wasn't reputed to be haunted. 
    When hotel employee Mave Michael finds the resident artist dead, and shortly thereafter hotel security finds Mave alone with the body, the reputation that Mave has fought long and hard to outrun comes back to haunt her. You see, her father is a notorious hitman who is serving multiple life sentences in prison. She has changed her name and location dozens of times, but he somehow manages to track her down—even sending her a postcard on the eve of her birthday, January 1st. She’s the perfect choice to frame for murder, and now the number one suspect. 
     
    Mave can no longer deny the lessons in survival her father taught her, and calls on that and her uncanny sixth-sense in “finding” lost objects to navigate the maze of the hotel. To save herself, she not only has to stop running from her own past, she must unearth the history of the hotel, its elite guests and buried secrets—one deadly sin at a time. 
     
    An homage to classic gothic horror, that proves that the ghosts of family and classism are alive and well.

    Edward Halvern is a man defined by control. A disciplined professional, he has built his life on precision and emotional restraint. But when vivid dreams begin to bleed into reality, Edward is drawn into a mystery that challenges everything he believes. 
    In Bath, he discovers an ancient, unmarked book hidden within a church vestry, written in an unfamiliar script. At the same time, he encounters a young girl who appears to know him, guiding him toward a deeper truth. 
    Edward learns of a prophecy: a High Priest and four High Priestesses must unite to create the Blue Flame, restoring balance to a fractured world. As he meets the four women—each embodying part of the system—he realises the barrier to unification lies within himself. 
    Haunted by his past, Edward confronts long-buried trauma, finally releasing the control that has defined him. Guided by Emily, a figure connected across time, he returns to a hidden portal and enters a fragmented parallel realm. 
    There, Edward surrenders fully. The five unite. The Blue Flame emerges, binding them into a single entity. 
    Returning to the world, Edward understands: unity is not an ending, but a beginning.
