  The Main In The Brown Suit

  Agatha Christie

  Anne Beddingfeld is a young woman who is aching for adventure and that is exactly what she gets when she witnesses the death of man on the London Underground. Her notice of a mysterious man who suspiciously leaves the scene embarks Anne on a mystery that will take her all the way to Cape Town in South Africa. With a love interest also in her future, it will take all her faculties to set everything straight.  
  The Man in the Brown Suit is an early publication in Agatha Christie’s long and illustrious career. The story may have been inspired by a trip she took with husband Archie to South Africa, amongst other countries in preparation for the 1924-1925 British Empire Exhibition. Indeed, as seen in the 2025 production Travels with Agatha Christie and David Suchet, she seems to have been very taken with the areas of South Africa she visited. Further, in the frontispiece of the book the dedication begins “In memory of a journey..” and what a fun journey it was to record this book!  
  As with all books written over a century ago, the reader is reminded that previous sensibilities do not match current ones.

  In this gripping standalone novel from USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author Colleen Coble, a wealthy hotel heiress goes to Jekyll Island certain her friend's death wasn't an accident--and gets more than she bargained for when the killer begins to play mind games with her. 
  Even though Torie Bergstrom hasn't been back to Georgia since she was ten, she was happy to arrange a job for her best friend at one of the family properties on Jekyll Island. But when Torie learns that Lisbeth has drowned, she knows it is more than a tragic accident: Lisbeth was terrified of water and wouldn't have gone swimming by choice. 
  Torie goes to the hotel under an alias, desperate to find answers. When she meets Joe Abbott and his daughter while they are rescuing baby sea turtles, she can only hope they are as trustworthy as they seem. And when someone begins to play mind games with her, proving they know her real identity, Torie couldn't be more grateful to have an ally. 
  The more Torie and Joe dig, the more elusive the truth seems. But one thing is clear: someone will risk anything--even another murder--to keep their secrets buried. 
  A Stranger's Game will keep you guessing until the very end with its complex puzzle, threats from both the past and the present, clean romance, and fascinating glimpses into the sea life around Jekyll Island.

Back in her home state, a place she vowed she would never return, Sadie, running from a secret in her recent past and back into her old one, finds herself facing her demons—including her sister’s unsolved murder—while assigned to hunt down a new serial killer.In ONLY MURDER (Book #1), two women are found dead in a remote area of Northern Alaska, near Sadie’s hometown. Floating under the ice, their bodies are preserved much the same way Sadie’s own murdered sister was found—a memory that still plagues her. The case strikes way too close to home, blurring Sadie’s judgment, stirring up memories of her estranged father and murdered sister, memories she’s not ready to grapple with. This part of Alaska—icy, rough, remote, populated by outcasts—proves impenetrable even for a seasoned FBI agent like Sadie. The killer, matching his landscape, is more sinister and smart than anyone Sadie has encountered. Amidst the perplexing clues, Sadie remains sure of only one thing: he will strike again. Against her wishes, Sadie must team up with Sheriff Logan Cooper—single, begrudging, and with a dark past of his own. Together, they must enter the canals of this killer’s twisted mind and seek help from the locals, however hostile, to solve the pattern of these murders before another girl turns up dead. With a major storm coming, can Sadie solve the murders before it’s too late? Or will she end up as the next body floating under the ice?In ONLY RAGE (Book #2), FBI Special Agent Sadie Price has barely recovered from her last case when she is assigned to an urgent, new one: a gruesome discovery has revealed women are turning up dead, their bodies found in the cargo holds of fishing boats, half-eaten by crabs. Sadie, stuck for the winter and here to stay, must form a tenuous alliance with Sheriff Logan Cooper and the local bar owner if she is to penetrate the icy wall of outcast locals. Exploring the harbor and the crusty workers who inhabit it, Sadie needs answers to this seemingly unsolvable string of murders—and to the mysteries of her own past. Suspects abound in the remote and unforgiving landscape. But this is no garden variety killer, and hunting him down may end up a bridge too far even for a brilliant agent like Sadie. In a deadly game of cat and mouse, can Sadie prove herself a match for this killer? Or will he prove to be her undoing?In ONLY HIS (Book #3), when a young woman is found mauled by a bear—the second case in one week—the authorities chalk it up to a desperate animal, driven by hunger to attack. Nature, as far as the locals are concerned, can be as cruel a killer as any murderer. But Sadie isn’t convinced. She suspects a serial killer, and when she realizes both victims were young women living alone in cabins, she takes it upon herself to visit a string of isolated, desolate cabins in the wilderness, including one with particular significance—her father’s. When a third woman is found, Sadie knows she is the only thing standing between this diabolical killer and his innocent, next victim. But in the forbidding wilderness, in the thick of winter, can Sadie reach the woman before it’s too late? And can she stop this killer all while unearthing the ghosts of her own family’s past?An action-packed page-turner, the SADIE PRICE series is a riveting crime thriller, jammed with suspense, surprises and twists and turns that you won’t see coming.
