Sinopse

Gautier Delcreuze has been found dead, hanging from a tree. According to the police, it’s a simple suicide. For his brother David, however, that’s simply impossible. Shortly before dying, Gautier wrote a text explaining that he was in danger and that people were after him, accusing him of stealing money and possessing compromising documents. He had ended the one-pager with the words: “I am not suicidal.” The police investigation may be over, but David’s not ready to give up on his search for the truth. He’ll go all the way, regardless of the danger ... 


Jean de Blonay has written a breathless thriller involving the Italian mafia and false leads, and containing a perfectly tied-up plot that keeps readers in suspense until the very last line.

The Pines Were Watching

Linda Norlander

The pines are watching, the shadows are creeping closer, and no one—not even the sheriff—is safe from the secrets of the Northwoods. 
 
 
 
When Joanie Crea is found strangled on the grounds of the crumbling Grandgeorge estate, Sheriff Red Hammergren faces a chilling mystery as dark as the dense forest surrounding the crime scene. All eyes turn to Derek Grandgeorge, the reclusive heir with a penchant for wearing a green jacket—even in the sweltering Minnesota summer. 
 
 
 
But soon, a second body surfaces—a victim found with Joanie's house key shoved into their mouth. 
 
 
 
The gruesome discovery sends a shiver of dread through the tight-knit community. The key isn't just evidence—it's a macabre message from a killer who's growing bolder and more brazen with each passing day. As the oppressive summer heat bears down and the shadows deepen, Red glimpses unsettling flashes of green at the edge of her vision. With a cunning murderer on the loose and the town spiraling into panic, Red must unravel the connection between the victims . . . before she becomes the final piece in the killer's twisted game.

Thorn In My Side: Now a major...

C.J. Skuse

Sweetpea TV series starring Ella Purnell now on Sky Atlantic!
Everyone’s favourite serial killer is back, and she’s more unpredictable than ever…
Readers LOVE Thorn in My Side
‘Perfect for fans of a snarky narrative’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘I absolutely loved it’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sometimes, you can be your own worst enemy…
Rhiannon Lewis thought she finally had it all: thanks to the pandemic she’s had to keep a much lower profile but has found happiness with her fiancé Rafael and his family. For once, she is surrounded by people who love her for who she is (or who they think she is).
After over 800 days without murdering anyone, the woman formerly known as the Sweetpea Killer thinks she might have finally turned over a new leaf.
That is until her soon-to-be sister-in-law has a run in with her abusive ex, and Rhiannon rediscovers her taste for revenge. This time, with a loving family in tow, the stakes are much higher. Wedded bliss and life as a normal person are finally within Rhiannon's reach, but you can never keep a good serial killer down.
Can you?
Praise for CJ Skuse:
‘This darkly comic novel…has the potential to become a cult classic’ Daily Mail
‘Dark, depraved and devilishly delicious. A full throttle savage and satirical thriller’ John Marrs
The humorous undertones of this crime fiction novel are a testament to C.J. Skuse's ability to weave a narrative that is as thrilling as it is blackly comedic. Rhiannon's domestic life, once a source of stability, becomes a backdrop for her feminist struggle against her own dark impulses.
For fans of Freida Mcfadden (The Tenant), L.M. Chilton (Everyone in the Group Chat Dies), John Marrs (When You Disappeared), Sarah Bonner (Her Sweet Revenge), and C. J. Tudor (The Chalk Man).
