  YOU THINK YOU’VE HEARD MY STORY BEFORE…
  
   
  At twenty-seven, I’m too young to be a widow. I’m trying my best to start over though: new city, new job running my own little shop. I try to fade into the background where I can, but the police won’t let me disappear completely. There are too many unanswered questions about the night my husband died.
  
   
  YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME…
  
   
  I even have a new lodger, Elizabeth. She’s friendly, but definitely not a friend. Beautiful, too – tall and slim with the sort of swishy blonde hair I’ve always coveted. She smiles at me when we pass on the stairs. It occurs to me then that I don’t know the first thing about her.
  
   
  …BUT YOU’RE SO, SO WRONG.
  
   
  If I were to tell you what happened to us next, you wouldn’t believe me. You might believe Elizabeth – she’s the type who people trust – until it’s too late.
  
   
  I guess you’ll have to find out for yourself.
  
   
  If you read one book this year, make it this one. A tense, gripping psychological thriller for anyone who raced through The Girl Before, Behind Her Eyes, or The Girl on the Train.

  Little does she know she is stepping foot into a nest of secrets and lies.
  
  As Mary becomes more involved with the family, she begins to suspect foul play in the recent death of the family’s patriarch. Even as she battles her own past demons and struggles to separate past from present, she is forced to wonder—which of the family members should she be protecting? 
  
  And who should she be afraid of?

  A new, edge-of-your-seat DI Barton thriller from bestselling author Ross Greenwood. 
  The next chapter could be your last... 
  The annual December gathering of the local book club is usually a relaxed affair, a chance for old acquaintances to catch up. But this year, the convivial evening takes a sinister turn. Detective Inspector Barton is called to investigate and quickly uncovers a web of dark secrets and long-held resentments hidden beneath the club's friendly facade. 
  When murder is confirmed, Barton finds himself in a race against time to unmask the killer before they strike again. But with every clue he uncovers, the truth becomes more twisted than he could ever have imagined. 
  In a group where everyone knows everyone, trust is a dangerous game, and this cold-blooded killer is ready to fool them all... 
  Barton is Back! Ross Greenwood returns to his bestselling series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Ian Rankin.

  ‘Another great read from Ross Greenwood. Love the DI Barton series. Another page turner and keeps you guessing until the end.’ 
  ‘What another amazing, addictive, can't put it down book. The twists and turns kept me guessing who was guilty, who I had the most sympathy for, who I wanted next on Santa's list and who would have a happy ending, who else would be next. I fell in love with Barton's character, he's the kind of guy I'd go for a night on the town with.’

The issues included in the stories have been gritty, serious, humorous, sad and down to earth with realistic and relatable threads. DI Barton is a wonderful character as are Zander and Strange, a solid 3 favourites!’
