A Deadly Queen

Pete Adams

Sinossi

1969: the East End of London. Dark days where rival gangs and the IRA vie for supremacy.
 
What can the darkness take from you?
 
Love - perhaps the most precious commodity - can be dangerous. Deadly, even. Love can lead or abandon; it can be all-seeing or blind.
 
It can also be a reason to tread where good sense does not prevail. For Wendy Richards, psychiatrist at the Royal London Hospital in the East End, never was a truer word said. Danger was nearer than Wendy could ever imagine.
 
Cherchez la femme - look for the woman. Would that be Maude Larkin or Bess Saint? Would it be Wendy?
 
Or, would it be the Black Rose?

Blue Moon Bay Witches 1-3...

Sierra Cross

Hazel Greenwood, an awkward, late-blooming witch, finds true friendship and love while solving magical mysteries in this light, funny series that's been compared to "a mug of hot cocoa." 
Hazel's not your average cat-loving witch who owns a bakery. She's got scars, the invisible kind; growing up, her magic and her confidence were smothered by her shallow Beige Witch mom and sisters. Now, at twenty-eight, Hazel's finally coming into her power and is a force to be reckoned with in her magical community, the idyllic seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. 
But even though the Bay appears picture-perfect, with its quaint shops and misty mornings where sea spray mingles with magic, mysteries lurk beneath its small-town charm. When Hazel's thrust into the middle of a murder investigation in order to clear her boyfriend's name, she's surprised to find allies in her former high school rivals, neurodivergent bobcat shifter Max and ex-mean-girl-cheerleader Britt (now a chill, non-judgmental vampire). Soon Hazel's helped form an unstoppable trio of supernatural detectives. Now if only hot deputy Elliot James would share police intelligence with her ... along with any other secrets he might be keeping. 
Wrapped in warmth, humor, and the cozy comfort of found family, the Blue Moon Bay Witches series weaves together magic, mystery, and romance into a spell you won't want to break. Dive into the enchanting world of Blue Moon Bay today.

Mark Goodrick

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
When a terrified young woman vanishes during a violent storm, private investigator Olivia Turner can’t shake the feeling she’s just witnessed the beginning of something far darker. 
The missing woman is Clara Ashworth, reclusive heiress to one of Hollow Bay’s most powerful families. Summoned to the Ashworth estate, Olivia finds a house full of locked wings, erased records, and carefully staged lies—all pointing to a disappearance meant to look voluntary. But as Olivia and her investigative partner Riley Cruz dig deeper, they uncover signs of psychological manipulation, forced confinement, and a legacy built on silence. 
Every clue leads back to the fog-shrouded mansion perched on the cliffs, where someone is determined to keep the truth buried and discredit anyone who gets too close. 
Atmospheric, suspenseful, and psychologically charged, Olivia Turner and the Case of the Vanishing Heiress is a gripping mystery about truth, power, and the cost of uncovering secrets that were never meant to surface.

The Big Four - Hercule Poirot:...

Agatha Christie

Book #5 in Agatha Christie's Poirot series.
'He laughs best who laughs at the end.'

A thrilling tale of international intrigue and espionage, The Big Four sees Agatha Christie's first foray into spy fiction.

It is an evening like any other. Hercule Poirot is residing in his home, when an unexpected visitor stumbles through his door, only to collapse moments later, mysteriously scribbling the number four on a piece of paper before he loses consciousness forever. Determined to make sense of this unusual series of events, Poirot is soon drawn into his most dangerous case yet – one that leads to whispers of a ruthless global conspiracy. In The Big Four, Poirot is on the hunt to unveil four enigmatic masterminds that are determined to orchestrate chaos from the shadows to devastating consequences. From secret laboratories to high-stakes espionage, Poirot must match his wits with an enemy that spans continents and has a disregard for the law, before it's too late. A steer away from Christie's traditional country-house murders, The Big Four remains a timeless, pulse-pounding thriller the captivates readers to this day.
Agatha Christie (1890 – 1976) was an English author. She was a prolific writer, most famous for her detective novels and short story collections which centred around the iconic characters of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Renowned as the 'Queen of Crime', she remains the bestselling novelist of all time, with her sales only second to the Bible.
