Beschreibung

Description:
Rachel achieved the impossible—a perfect score, making her the top science student and securing a place at Harvard University. But on the night her mother, Grace, throws a lavish celebration party, Rachel's body lies cold in the hospital morgue. Trapped in a home where her mother's obsession with her absent father, Victor, breeds daily cruelty, Rachel's final hours are a desperate struggle against neglect, abuse, and a chilling accident. Now, as a ghost forced to witness the aftermath, Rachel watches the devastating truth unfold: the parents who never wanted her are about to learn the crushing cost of their regret. A haunting and emotional story of a brilliant life cut short and the searing legacy of familial betrayal.

    There were a lot of things you could call Stacey Evans. And many of them would be true. And unprintable. But did she deserve to be murdered? 
     
    DI Winter Meadows has no doubt of the answer when he takes on the case. The crime was violent. The victim helpless. But the motives are many, and the only clue is a strange word left on Stacey’s body. 
     
    DI Meadows struggles to pierce the secrecy surrounding the teenager’s busy love life. Was the killer one of her pursuers acting out of jealousy? Maybe someone’s wife seeking revenge? 
     
    But as each suspect is excluded from the enquiry, and other markings turn up, Meadows is convinced that something more sinister is afoot. 
     
    When another body is found, a veil of silence descends like a fog upon Gaer Fawr. What more will it take for the village to give up its secrets? 
     
    A KNOT OF SPARROWS is the fourth standalone title in a series of murder mysteries by best-selling author Cheryl Rees-Price. It will appeal to fans of David Pearson, L J Ross, John Dean, Joy Ellis, and Pippa McCathie.

    A Detective Superintendent of the Nottinghamshire Police Force is found brutally murdered in the idyllic Clumber Park. 
     
    The victim used to run the same Unit that DI Rob Loxley is now a part of. That was until a drug bust went badly wrong, resulting in the deaths of four officers.

    As the new DI of the unit, it falls to Rob to investigate the murder and find the killer, but this means dealing with Anti-Corruption, a worrying prospect at best. 
     
    Between this, sting operations against criminal gangs, and the kidnapping of one of Scarlett’s friends, things are going from bad to worse. Rob and his dedicated team must pull together to solve these latest mysteries before more innocent lines are lost. 
     
    FOR AN EYE is a gripping and compelling British crime thriller, perfect for fans of TG Reid, Jack Gatland and Rachel Maclean.

    An introverted English professor's quiet life gets turned upside down when he falls for a dangerous, enigmatic sophomore. Mark Lausson has everything he thought he wanted: a coveted job at elite Sawyer College in Ohio. But at the start of his second year, stuck in a small town with deadlines piling up and paychecks falling short, Mark can already feel the fantasy crumbling. And then, a few weeks in, sophomore Tyler Cunningham shows up in class. In Tyler—confident, mysterious, and popular—Mark glimpses another way of being in the world. He finds Tyler’s self-possession both compelling and unsettling. Caught in the rush of sex and secrets, Mark ignores the increasing evidence that Tyler can’t be trusted. But by the time Mark comes to his senses, the irreparable damage is done. Complicating easy ideas of innocence, Providence explores the ways loneliness and desire distort our senses of self and other, right and wrong. Intense, propulsive, and impossible to put down, Providence is perfect for readers of P. J. Vernon’s Bath Haus and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, as well as Patricia Highsmith’s Talented Mr. Ripley and Garth Greenwell’s What Belongs to You.
