Beschreibung

WHEN Callaghan came into the office, Effie Thompson stopped typing. She said: "Good morning, Mr. Callaghan. There have been a few telephone calls, and your letters are on your desk."
Callaghan said: "Right, Effie. Has Fallon or Craske been through?"
She shook her head. Callaghan went into his office. She followed him with her notebook.
She said: "You're expecting a call from Fallon or Craske? If either of them come through while you're out what shall I do about it?"
Callaghan said: "There's nothing you can do, Effie. Both those birds ought to be pretty scared by this time—both of them or one of them."
She said: "You don't know which one was really responsible for that fraudulent claim?"

It's the most wonderful time of the year . . . unless you're on the naughty list. 
 
Candy Cane Hollow is aglow with festive cheer as the town prepares for its beloved Nutcracker Stroll—a magical evening where homes and businesses open their doors to showcase dazzling Nutcracker displays, complete with cinnamon-scented treats and snowflake-topped cocoa. 
 
This year, the event is extra special. It's Holly's first public appearance as Mrs. Claus, and her sister August has poured her heart into organizing the stroll to perfection. 
 
But when the final stop on the tour ends in tragedy, the sugar-dusted sparkle of the evening turns ice-cold. Antique dealer Ambrose Pearce is found dead beside her world-famous Nutcracker collection—and it's clear her death was no accident. 
 
As secrets begin to crack and suspicion falls on the very people Holly was meant to charm, she must juggle small-town politics, sibling tension, and one very suspicious cup of mulled wine. 
 
Can Holly uncover the truth before the killer melts back into the crowd? 
 
Or will this holiday season be remembered for all the wrong reasons?

When you go digging, don't be surprised at what you find... 
 
When a decades-old body is discovered in an underground cell in Temple Church, DI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon are sent to discover more on it - in particular, why a twenty-year old body has been dug up from their place of rest, and deliberately placed in a room known only as the 'penitential cell', once used by the Knights Templar to punish the unholy. 
 
And when they realise this is one of several bodies, all dug up and placed in similar positions across the city, their investigations reveal more about the bodies original deaths and also how they're connected to the recent kidnapping of a Temple Inn police officer, while discovering the message being given by their grisly returns - a message that promises a new wave of murders. 
 
With time ticking down, and facing a decades-old conspiracy that includes his own father, Declan has to face an enemy with a personal hatred of the Walshes... 
 
...But if he digs too deep, then he'll be the next body unearthed... 
 
The fourteenth audiobook in a series of procedural crime thrillers by #1 New York Times bestselling writer Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, Beneath The Bodies is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, David Gatward, Rachel McLean and Ann Cleeves, among others.

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.
