  Charles Dickens

  The Mystery of Edwin Drood is the final novel by Charles Dickens. The novel was left unfinished at the time of Dickens' death, and readers have often speculated what the ending might have been. The novel is named after Edwin Drood, but it mostly tells the story of his uncle, a Jekyll-and-Hyde-esque choirmaster named John Jasper, who is in love with his pupil, Rosa Bud. Miss Bud is Drood's fiancée, and has caught the eye of the high-spirited and hot-tempered Neville Landless, who comes from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) with his twin sister, Helena, and immediately makes an enemy of Drood. It is hinted strongly that Jasper is the murderer, but it is not known whether Dickens had a surprise in mind. (Summary from Wikipedia)

  "The Jolly Corner," published in 1908, is considered by many to be a ghost story ranking second only to "The Turn of the Screw." James’s protagonist, Spencer Brydon, is an American of 56, returned to New York after 33 years in Europe, where he has apparently accomplished little while living off his New York rentals. His friendship with Alice Staverton, and his engagement in the development of a property awaken him to the possibilities that might have been his, had he chosen a different course of life. The "ghost," if that’s what it is, is that other self that might have been, and his confrontation with that self and its possibilities leads to a deeply unsettling, yet ambiguous, conclusion.

  Detective Leone Scamarcio, the son of a former leading mafioso, has turned his back on the family business and has joined the Rome police force. He may be one of the last honest men in Italy. 
  But when Scamarcio is handed a file of extremely compromising photographs of a high-profile Italian politician and told to ‘deal with it’, he knows he’s in for trouble. And when a young man is found stabbed to death in Rome, and a young American girl disappears on a beach in Elba, Scamarcio’s job gets a whole lot more complicated. 
  Worst of all, every lead seems to implicate the prime minister — a multi-media baron, and the most powerful man in Italy. As the case spins out of control, and his own past catches up with him, Scamarcio must navigate the darkest currents of Italian society — only to find that nothing is as it seems, and that the price of truth may be higher than he can pay. 
   
  ‘A rock-solid read, with the click-clack of shoes on cobblestones and the oppressive heat of a Mediterranean summer making for a delectable spring treat.’ Readings Monthly 
  "Packed full of twists and turns with never a dull moment... A real page-turner." Crime Review 
  ‘Gripping… You won't be able to put down this unsettling tale.’ The Sun

  "Barbara Freethy’s suspense novels are explosively good!" — New York Times Bestselling Author Toni Anderson  
  When no one wants to hear the truth—how far would you go to make them listen? 
  Cassidy Clarke never planned to chase killers. Her true-crime podcast, Mysteries Uncorked, started as a side project—just three friends, a few glasses of wine, and unsolved cases that fascinated them. But when their audience explodes, the women decide to go on location for their next story: the disappearance of a young woman from a coastal inn in Maine. 
  For Cassidy, the case hits close to home. The missing woman was last seen at the Stonecross Inn—run by the grandmother she’s never met. Ellen Clarke makes one thing clear when they arrive: she doesn’t want them there. But the microphones are already live, and the listeners are hooked. 
  As Cassidy and Tessa dig deeper, they uncover whispers of other women who came to Stonecross and never left. The locals refuse to talk. And Ellen knows far more than she’ll say. Then another woman vanishes. Cassidy’s podcast goes viral, and someone decides it’s time to cut her mic for good. 
  A chilling, addictive psychological thriller from a #1 NYT Bestselling Author about ambition, small town secrets, and the stories that refuse to stay silent.  
    
  This female-led psychological thriller follows a woman who investigates an unanswered mystery while challenging a powerful small-town establishment. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Laura Dave, and Freida McFadden.
