Sinopse

The Cornish summer burns hotter than it has in 15 years – but beneath the sunshine, something sinister stirs.
When eco-architect Olivia Parkes unveils her latest project – a cliffside manor reborn as a luxury eco-hotel – she expects acclaim, not chaos. And the return of her partner Jago Trevithick KC, a brilliant but broken barrister, who is seeking peace by the sea.
But peace is short-lived. A waitress is found dead in the hotel pool.
Who wanted her gone – and why?
Has the dark side of Jago's work followed him to Cornwall?
Or is someone close to Olivia hiding deadly secrets?
As whispers spread through the sun-bleached village, Olivia and Jago must uncover the truth before the tide turns red again.
In a paradise built on lies and long-buried sin, can love – or anyone – survive the truth?

Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.

    “The most extraordinary fictive shaper in our time.” —George SteinerExiled to a sleepy town in western France, Maigret is relieved when he has to handle a challenging case. There’s been a murder in a mussel farming village and its most respected resident, the former judge Monsieur Forlacroix, has tried to dispose of the body in the river. But why will no one admit to knowing the dead man? And what connects him to Forlacroix’s pianist daughter, Lise, who is kept locked in her bedroom? With studied patience and an eye for subliminal clues, Maigret teases out the dark secrets that everyone in this insular community, it seems, has a motive to protect. A heady and atmospheric must-listen, The Judge’s House is Georges Simenon at his suspenseful best.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
