Sinopse

There’s little chance for R & R during World War II when you have the reputation of British sleuth Patrick Dawlish.   A Hampshire country inn seems the perfect place to unwind for Captain Patrick Dawlish and his fiancée, Felicity, as World War II rages on. But all play and no work make Dawlish a bored man. Luckily for him, he’s never been able to dodge trouble when foul play is afoot . . .   A man as big as Dawlish rarely goes unnoticed, which appears to be the case when he senses someone watching him. That man is soon murdered by someone wearing Dawlish’s stolen uniform. Instead of a peaceful week away from the Home Defence Army, Dawlish finds himself the prime suspect in a murder. What better way to keep him from investigating what’s really going on? To make matters even more complicated, there’s a guest at the inn under suspicion for being a spy—with ties to Nazi Germany . . .

    Over a hundred husbands dead. 
    Countless secrets. 
    The most horrifying case of Kiara Fox’s career… 
    Kiara Fox leads a relatively ordinary life as a fraud investigator, looking into life insurance claims. With a loving husband and twin daughters, her world seems close to perfect. But when a case involving a wealthy businessman named Martin Powers lands on her desk, she senses something is off. 
    After her bosses put undue pressure on her to pay the claim quickly, she is convinced foul play is at work and begins a clandestine investigation. She discovers that Powers was not the pillar of the community he was cracked up to be but, rather, a controlling abusive husband who died in questionable circumstances, and she suspects this may not be the first such case her company has settled. 
    As she delves deeper, innocent people begin to die and Kiara finds herself in dangerous territory. Torn between protecting her own family and uncovering whoever is behind the killings, she faces an impossible choice and will have to confront her greatest fears. 
    The First Widow is an exciting debut from a major new thriller writer.

    Everyone's hiding something in Alder Vale. And some secrets are worth killing for . . .  
     
    Six years ago, a lavish party in the woods behind an English country estate ended in the death of Dominic Rayner—the golden boy heir to a powerful aristocratic family. It was ruled a tragic accident. But the guests who were there that night have never recovered, while the truth remained buried. 
     
    Now, Tatum—Dominic's beautiful, manipulative ex—is back in town with a young son and an agenda. She's blackmailing the family patriarch, running from her past, and threatening to upend everything the elite village of Alder Vale has worked so hard to keep quiet. 
     
    As whispers spread, old wounds reopen. A missing phone. A drunken confession. Another body . . .  
    And beneath the manicured lawns and polite smiles, something much darker is crawling to the surface. Because the truth isn't just ugly. It's lethal. 
     
    Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and Lisa Jewell, Lie To Me is a chilling psychological thriller about buried secrets, fractured friendships, and what happens when the lies we live by are finally exposed.

    Life begins at 40—but so do bad joints, wrinkles, and gray hairs. 
     
     
     
    They say that by the age of forty you should have gained the skills and experience to have a better life. 
     
     
     
    But the only thing I've gained is a job promotion to permanent desk jockey until retirement. I thought I escaped my mediocre destiny when I met my husband . . . until he died on our honeymoon and a series of unfortunate events left me with a strange mark on my body and my husband's corpse stolen right out of the funeral home! 
     
     
     
    When I discover a mysterious invitation to a place called the Vale Estates at my door from a long-lost grandmother I had never met. I was ready to toss it away as a scam until I read the words: Your husband's death was not an accident. Desperate for answers, I pack up and go. 
     
     
     
    But to discover the truth, I'm forced to live in a bizarre estate full of restless ghosts and a creepy goat-legged caretaker while enduring a trial of magic with death as a punishment for failure. 
     
     
     
    But I'm not a mage! Or at least, I thought. 
     
     
     
    I guess it’s not too late to learn something new.

    A string of puzzling murders. A skilled and dangerous killer. Will the Cold Case Squad discover the truth in time to save one of its own? 
    PI Martina and Detective Hirsch accept the new sheriff’s request to reopen a ten-year-old serial killer case. Not that they could refuse. One victim was the sheriff’s brother, a married father of two. 
    The case is strange. Someone has murdered three successful men within a six-month time period. There were no suspects and no motive. The only connection is their cause of death. The links are thin and the motive is unknown, but Martina and Hirsch know better than to ignore the similarities. 
    Frustrated without a logical theory for the murders, Martina and Hirsch throw out preconceived notions and start from scratch. Determined to learn the truth, they pound the pavement and re-interview family, friends, and coworkers until Martina receives a tip. 
    Not a tip. 
    A warning. 
    Undeterred by the threat against her and the squad, Martina calls for an all-hands on deck to solve the case. Will the squad discover the truth before one of their own pays the ultimate price? 
    Her Last Words is the 8th installment of the fast-paced and suspenseful Martina Monroe crime thriller series.
