Synopsis

Dead-Sea Fruit is a Victorian novel of ambition, identity, and disillusionment. After his mother’s death, gifted young Eustace Thorburn seeks the truth of his parentage and the wrongs done to her. His quest intersects with London society’s fragile reputations, where marriage, desire, and propriety collide. Moving between Belgian canals and English drawing rooms, Braddon exposes the emptiness beneath glittering success and the moral cost of betrayal, secrecy, and social ambition.

    Selling her corn fritters at a carnival, Deputy Donut Café owner Emily Westhill faces off against a murderer who doesn’t play fair . . . 
    Emily and her assistant, Nina, are looking forward to manning the Deputy Donut tent at the Faker’s Dozen Carnival in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin—a festival held on Friday the thirteenth to celebrate good and bad luck. But Emily has barely dropped the corn fritters in oil when bad luck boils up. First, their bucket of confectioner’s sugar disappears—and then while a mime creates a distraction, a magician robs their cash register. 
    After the carnival, their misfortune continues. Emily discovers that someone has broken into artist Nina’s loft and vandalized a large painting in progress with the bucket of stolen sugar, which is now on the head of the mime, who seems to have been suffocated. Emily would bet Nina was the intended victim, but the cops think Nina silenced the mime. Now Emily must catch the killer white–handed—before someone else kicks the bucket . . .

    She was never fighting over him. 
    She was fighting everything he stole. 
    Elara Moore believed her marriage was safe because it was quiet. Stable. Predictable. 
    Then she discovers the truth. 
    There was no affair. 
    No rivalry. 
    No “other woman.” 
    Instead, Elara uncovers something far more disturbing: her marriage was built on observation, not love. She was chosen, studied, and measured—without her knowledge or consent. 
    As the carefully maintained illusion begins to crack, Elara realizes she was never competing with another woman. She was part of a system designed to test compatibility, obedience, and emotional restraint. 
    The lie wasn’t infidelity. 
    The lie was love. 
    The Other Woman Was a Lie is a gripping psychological thriller about power, control, and the moment a woman realizes she has been watched instead of known. Dark, intelligent, and unsettling, this novel explores how easily intimacy can become surveillance—and what happens when the subject becomes self-aware. 
    Perfect for readers who love psychological suspense, modern thrillers, and emotionally intense stories that linger long after the final page.
