  For Charlie and her niece Katie, it’s supposed to be a quiet holiday in the peaceful, out-of-the-way seaside town of Hithechurch, England. Charlie is researching a book on the folklore of the area, and the gloomy sea and dangerous caves seem to offer up plenty of material, while Katie is just there to run wild and get some fresh air. But Charlie’s research reveals a deeper, darker secret, one that uncovers her own carefully hidden past. Young women are going missing again: a teenage girl snatched from the beach in broad daylight, and before that, other girls through the decades have vanished from the area, their families left with no answers and no bodies to bury. Charlie’s creation was a thing of felt, straw, fury, and a rusty pair of scissors in the dark. It couldn’t be her monster. Could it? Set on discovering the truth about the girls’ disappearances, she’s about to encounter a force of pure, obsessive malevolence that threatens to destroy anything in its path. Exploring the fine line where supernatural ends and real human monstrosity begins, Games for Dead Girls is a haunting, dark novel from award-winning author Jen Williams.

  Helen Stoner worries her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. Stoner is herself now engaged, and Holmes learns that her stepfather's annuity (from the estate of his wife — Stoner's mother) would be greatly reduced if either sister married. During a late-night investigation of the bedroom, Holmes and Watson discover a dummy bell-pull near a ventilator. As they lie in wait a whistle sounds, then a snake appears through the ventilator. Holmes attacks the snake with his riding crop; it retreats to the next room, where it attacks and kills Stoner's stepfather.

  In a dimly lit alley at the heart of the city’s underbelly, a single horrific act sets off ripples that shatter the community’s sense of safety. When art curator Anna Mitchell is found brutally murdered, Detective Sarah Blake—haunted by her own dark past—steps in to untangle a case mired in conflicting testimonies and buried secrets. 
  As Sarah digs deeper, she uncovers Anna’s intricate world of ambition, loneliness, and hidden relationships, realizing that each clue points to a darker, more complex motive. Yet the key to cracking the case may lie with a secretive onlooker who refuses to come forward: the hidden witness. 
  Driven by her relentless pursuit of truth, Sarah must navigate the biases of her team, the pressure from the media, and her own personal demons. Every scrap of evidence, every twisted motive, and every seemingly innocent bystander threads together in a tapestry of lies and deception—one that threatens to consume both the investigation and Sarah herself. 
  “The Hidden Witness” is a riveting journey through the psychological undercurrents of a crime scene, the haunting pasts of those entangled in its mystery, and the delicate line between justice and obsession. Will Detective Blake succeed in drawing out the elusive witness before the truth slips further into the shadows? Or will the dark secrets within Anna Mitchell’s life remain buried for good? 
  Step into a world where every clue matters, trust is a luxury, and the truth waits in the most unexpected places.
