  'Ross Greenwood doesn’t write clichés. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's spiced with a lot of humour' Kath Middleton  
  There’s a killer on the streets, and no one is safe… 
  First there was the drowned man, but maybe his death was an accident? 
  Then there were the decapitated bodies, the burnt girl, the women pursued in the dark. Finally the police have to admit there’s a serial killer on the loose and he seems set on revenge. His name is Abel and his crimes are escalating every day.  
  Dan Flood, Olivia Jones and their two young children are a family at breaking point. The mundane juggle of parenting and work means that the romance is draining away. Living in a community that is growing ever more fearful, just adds to the pressure in their lives. 
  But when Abel turns his attention on Olivia, only Dan can save her…  
  Bestseller Ross Greenwood’s serial killer thriller is perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.

  Lake Tahoe, 1988. Jackson Taylor's inner torment never dies. After losing his wife and kids in a car accident, the former MLB pitcher-turned-chef purchases a lovely new home at a steal, while shrugging off its terrible history of a murder-suicide. But he soon realizes he's not alone when he hears a child's laughter echoing from behind a closed door. 
  Skeptical about the supernatural despite finding multiple cryptic messages, Jackson visits the local library to research clues tied to the property. When the charming librarian helps him unearth chilling details of its past, he's more determined than ever to unravel the truth. 
  Can Jackson expose the horror hidden within the haunted halls and find his own peace? 
  An engaging supernatural mystery novel about family secrets, the price of vengeance, and learning to move on after loss. -- Clarion Reviews 
  Eerie, surprising, and profoundly emotional, The House on Tyner by Matthew O'Connell is a beautifully written ghost story with the structure of a mystery. A powerfully written ghost story that manages to be appealingly realistic, while also questioning the boundaries of the tangible world. Giving a poetic side to the enigmatic and haunted, the novel is unique in the paranormal genre. ★★★★½ -- Self-Publishing Review 
  5 out of 5 stars. I found nothing to dislike about this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery novel. My eyes were glued to the pages by the end of the book. The author included many plot twists and turns to keep readers engaged throughout the novel. As someone who often shies away from ghost stories due to cheesiness, I wholeheartedly recommend this book, as it is a decidedly realistic portrayal of the paranormal. -- OnlineBookClub

  Four strangers. A quiet library. The perfect place for murder. 
   
  ‘And then there is a scream. Ragged and terrified. A beat of silence even after it stops, until we all seem to realise that the Reading Room Rules no longer apply.’ 
   
  Hannah Tigone, bestselling Australian crime author, is crafting a new novel that begins in the Boston Public Library: four strangers; Winifred, Cain, Marigold and Whit are sitting at the same table when a bloodcurdling scream breaks the silence. A woman has been murdered. They are all suspects, and, as it turns out, each character has their own secrets and motivations – and one of them is a murderer. 
   
  While crafting this new thriller, Hannah shares each chapter with her biggest fan and aspirational novelist, Leo. But Leo seems to know a lot about violence, motive, and how exactly to kill someone. Perhaps he is not all that he seems… 
   
  The Woman in the Library is an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship – and shows that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all. 
   
   ‘Wickedly clever, highly original and thoroughly entertaining – I loved it!’ Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands and Treasure and Dirt 
   
  ‘A seriously fun read.’ Dervla McTIernan, author of The Ruin and The Murder Rule 
   
  ‘This elegantly constructed novel is intelligent, funny, and profound. Who could ask for more?’ Publishers Weekly 
   
  ‘Sulari Gentill pulls back the curtain on writers and their fixations, revealing the duplicity, the secret rages and the jealousy. Everything, no matter how dire, is material in the end.’ Jock Serong, author of The Rules of Backyard Cricket and The Burning Island 
   
  ‘An enormously clever book. I lay awake thinking about it every night until I finished it.’ Jack Heath, author of Hangman and Kill Your Brother 
   
  ‘The Woman in the Library is devious, tricksy and unpredictable. Gentill kept me guessing to the end. Clever, layered and highly original.’ Karen Viggers, author of The Lightkeeper's Wife and The Orchardist's Daughter 
   
  ‘A vibrant, twisty murder mystery told vividly and with great humour.’ Kaaron Warren, author of Mistification and The Grief Hole 
   
  ‘Great characters, beautifully written. Sulari Gentill delivers another murder mystery gem.’ Tim Ayliffe, author of The Greater Good and The Enemy Within
