Synopsis

Murder darkens the bright days of summer in an idyllic Suffolk village, in an Albert Campion mystery that is simply “unforgettable” (A.S. Byatt). 
 
Private detective Albert Campion’s glorious summer in Pontisbright is blighted by death. Amidst the preparations for Minnie and Tonker Cassand’s fabulous summer party, a murder is discovered—and it falls to Campion to unravel the intricate web of motives, suspicion and deception. 
 
Danger is hardly unknown in this idyllic rural village, but it is a less romantic peril than Campion faced on his first visit, more than twenty years ago . . .

    A sarcastic psychic. A partner she can’t read. A mystery that refuses to stay buried. 
    Diana Hawthorne sees more than most people—except when it comes to her own past. With snark to spare and an eye-roll always at the ready, she helps clients navigate everything from cheating boyfriends to dearly departed grandmas. But when a missing person case lands on her doorstep—and the broody, too-good-looking Blake strolls into her life—things get weird. 
    And not in the fun, “let’s light some sage and manifest good vibes” kind of way. 
    For the first time ever, Diana’s gifts fall short. Blake’s a total psychic blind spot, and the case they’re tangled in? It reeks of something bigger… something ancient. 
    Now Diana must piece together a puzzle that could blow her carefully constructed reality to bits—all while pretending she’s not completely thrown by the mysterious man who makes her second-guess everything. 
    For fans of smart-mouthed heroines, supernatural suspense, and mythology with a modern twist—Oracle is your next binge-worthy obsession.

    The Headless Horseman. Everyone knows the legend. That’s all it is, right? 
     
    When a third headless victim is found on Boston’s streets, Chloe Mayfield is tasked with finding the person behind the crime spree – no one else wants a case this weird. It would be easy to dismiss the murders as nothing more than the random acts of a madman with a cosplay fetish, but when her investigations lead her to the morgue, she comes face to face with an apparition she cannot explain. 
     
    Throw in the stalker-like attentions of a deranged clown, dangerous interactions with the Salem witches, and an enemy within her own police department who intends to see her fail, and Chloe is in for an uphill battle. Not only to solve the case but to get through it alive. 
     
    Mess this up and she’s either out of a job, dead, or both.
