Summary

An abandoned rustic in a small town in the province of Turin.
Inside, the corpse of a man, tied to a bed, completely torn apart by animal bites. This is not what perplexes Luca Morelli - a Police Inspector who has a wild life and a broken family - when he comes to the place of the discovery.
It's indeed a storybook, left beside the victim: "Little Red Riding Hood." Flanked by his colleague and former partner, Morena Camogli, he begins his investigation, made difficult by an absolute lack of evidence.
In an escalation of tension and difficulty, Morelli and his team try in every way to get to the solution.
Until a fortuitous discovery on the site of one of the crimes seems to open a chink in the investigation.
An opening that is lost back in time, into the past of the inspector 's tormented family .
Within a few days, three more murders rock the province of Turin, all committed by the same hand. And in all the cases, the murderer leaves his signature, a a storybook on the crime scene, a tale on which he stages the crime.
"The killer of fairy tales" is the first novel in a series, focused on the investigation of Inspector Morelli.
Available since: 07/25/2015.

    Love? F-love. It’s a joke.
    I’ve seen my mom get burned too many times by guys that said “I love you.” I know it’s not real. And it never lasts even if it was based in reality.
    All that changes when I meet Luca Rossi.
    You’d think I’d know to run away.
    That I’d see how he treats everyone else like he’s superior and get that he’s not someone I want to be with.
    There’s just one thing, though…

Sanders features a spellbinding heroine, a clever cat familiar, colorful locals—and of course, murder.When human bones are discovered beneath an old outhouse covered in blackberry vines, no one knows who they once belonged to. But elderly Helen Garlington wants Sam the sheriff to test the remains, suspecting they may solve the mystery of her long-vanished husband. It's not a match, and Helen takes it hard, drowning her disappointment in sherry at the tavern—where she sees a contestant on a game show who she swears is her missing spouse, Martin.

Horrified by this fatal turn of events, Josie asks the spellbound books for help, seeking the aid of Sherlock Holmes. But strange things continue to happen—frightening images flash on the screen of a long-abandoned movie theater and flocks of crows seem to appear wherever she goes. Is Josie about to meet her own Moriarty? It will take all her courage to untangle the twisted vines of this mystery before this chapter in the colorful story of Wilfred claims another life . . .

    DISCOVERY UPENDS EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT MEMORY AND GENETICS. IT MIGHT COST KEY MURPHY HIS LIFE. 
    Key Murphy is a freak, a prodigy. He has visions so real he’s diagnosed with PTSD. Key learns that his visions might be caused by a mutated gene, which allows him to experience the memories of an ancestor. 
    Key also has a family link to The Book of Kells. Pages from the book were stolen in Ireland in the distant past. Those pages are believed to contain a fundamental secret of Christendom.  
    Padraig Collins is one of the wealthiest men in Europe. He was an undercover operative for the IRA. He amassed a fortune. He wants those pages. His soul depends on them. He will do whatever it takes to possess them. 
    The race is on. 
    "O'Connor takes these familiar Dan Brown-style thriller elements—hidden societies, secret histories, shocking revelations buried in historical events (plus a certain cosmopolitan flavor; the narrative bounces from Philadelphia to Jamaica to Ireland and elsewhere)—and combines them to craft a thriller that will be pleasing to any fan of The DaVinci Code (2003)." - Kirkus Reviews

But there's something I don't know: nothing is as it seems. Devious Heir is the final book in a dark college romance trilogy that has enemies-to-lovers themes. This book may not be suitable for all listeners due to dubious situations that might be triggering.
