Synopsis

 
TEENAGERS...OR TIME BOMBS?
The nation is gripped by the shocking crimes: "good kids" who are suddenly, inexplicably lethal. When Connecticut doctor Dr. Lexi Bradley gets the call that her son has become one of those shooters, her life is turned upside down.
Ten years ago, Secret Service agent Bryan Atwood became an expert on adolescent violence. Now the nightmare is back. Just as he is assigned to this new rash of killings, an MRI of the boy's brain reveals what must be pure science fiction. With Lexi's help, Bryan is determined to unearth the truth before more children die, but investigating a cross-country trail of buried horrors casts them both into a dangerous world where corporate greed can lead to sudden death.

    Quirky Sleuths. Big Murders. Very Bad Alibis.
    
    Marnie Cobb became an HOA compliance officer because she missed one meeting, which is how democracy punishes people in Laurel Trace. She knows every fence dispute, camera angle, unauthorized paint color, pool rule, anonymous complaint, and neighbor who says "just visiting" while parking overnight for six consecutive weeks.
    
    Then HOA president Brent Wexler is found dead in the locked pool-equipment office after Residents First Wine Night, with a violation notice pinned to his shirt. Marnie's ex-husband had argued with him. Nearly every homeowner wanted him gone. And the neighborhood reacts to homicide exactly as expected: with security footage, unsolicited theories, emergency meetings, and urgent questions about whether the pool will reopen.
    
    But the notice on Brent's body is wrong. It is an obsolete form from an earlier version of Laurel Trace, with a layout and copier flaw Marnie recognizes. Someone weaponized neighborhood paperwork to stage a murder, and nobody in Bellwether County understands weaponized paperwork better than Marnie.

    There is something about the number 3.    
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    The pulse-pounding, psychological thriller, from the international top ten bestselling author of The Sleepover and The Summer House  
    How well do you really know your husband? 
    Two years ago, my whole world was ripped apart when my husband and best friend were killed in a car accident in Norfolk. Since then, I've struggled to come to terms with my overwhelming grief and to understand why they were together in Charlie’s car that fateful day. 
    I know I can’t carry on with my reclusive lifestyle, hiding away, alone in this big house. I have to find a way to start living again. 
    Following a friend’s advice, I sign up to a reputable dating site, IntoYou. She tells me it’s the perfect way to meet someone, and when I quickly get a match, I believe she is right. I am surprised how easy this is. 
    But it seems I have a lot to learn. Anyone can hide behind a computer screen, using the sinister mask of anonymity. It seems by exposing myself I've attracted the wrong kind of attention. 
    Strange things start to happen in my life and shocking secrets come to light. Evil is watching me and it is connected to my past. Will I see the danger before it’s too late? 
    The thrilling read for fans of Freida McFadden, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell.
