Sinopse

In this “gripping psychological thriller,” a man on the run finds refuge with a family in rural France—only to realize he’s fallen into a trap (Daily Express).Sean is on the run. We don’t know why and we don’t know from whom, but we do know he’s abandoned his battered, blood-stained car in the middle of a sweltering and isolated, part of France. Desperate to avoid the police, Sean takes to the hedgerows and country lanes hoping to find shelter.  Nearly unconscious from pain and loss of blood, Sean is taken in by two women, the daughters of the man who runs a local farm with a ramshackle barn, blighted vineyard, and a brooding lake. And that’s when Sean’s problems really start, because this family that has taken him in is anything but normal.

    Old friends. Old grudges. One evening back together again. The last time they all had dinner, someone wound up dead. What could go wrong? 
     
     
     
    Sophie Lind hasn't seen her college friends in a decade when a dinner invitation from one of the friends, Ava, arrives on her doorstep. They used to all be inseparable, meeting for dinner every week, even after graduation. But the last time they all had dinner, ten years ago, someone was dead by the end of the night. 
     
     
     
    It was Sophie's then-fiancé William who died that night in his apartment, just a room away from the friends he called family. Sophie isn't sure if it's curiosity—or guilt—that pushes her to accept Ava's dinner invitation and unbury those old wounds. When the six friends arrive for the dinner, there's a small box waiting for each of them by their plates. Each box uncovers secrets that the friends have kept hidden all these years, and with the door to the apartment locked from the outside, it's clear that Ava didn't plan this dinner just to reminisce about the past. 
     
      
     
    What happened to William is buried beneath someone's lies—and nobody's leaving this dinner table until the truth comes out.

    Whose Body?

    Dorothy L. Sayers

    Dorothy L. Sayers (1883–1957) is thought to be a brilliant writer; funnier, more nuanced and unafraid to address social issues, she is often cited as an inspiration by authors like PD James, Ruth Rendell and Elizabeth George. 
    But has her work stood the test of time? 
    In Whose Body she pushes the boundaries of the crime genre, creating an original and thought-provoking work that put her in a position way above more ordinary crime authors. It has her detective, Lord Peter Wimsey, in a psychologically much darker place than usual, with post-traumatic reactions from WW1. And whilst we are asked to solve the puzzle of the two dead bodies, we are also drawn into the psychology of how the master criminal’s mind works. It’s not a mere puzzle to be solved purely through intellect, and that is the overriding sentiment you are left with after reading the novel. It’s a real murder with sordid details, putting a brutal end to a human life. Well, fictionally anyway.

    A noble family, a legendary painting, a cursed palazzo. The new Venetian mystery from master storyteller David Hewson. 
     
    When Arnold Clover is recruited by Lizzie Hawker to help her look into her family inheritance, he cannot begin to guess the journey he is about to embark on. 
     
    Lizzie's mother, an Italian countess, disappeared thirty years ago, presumed dead. Her father, a famous, some say infamous, music promoter, has just died and now the family home Ca' Scacchi, a leaning palazzo in Dorsoduro, has fallen to her. When her mother vanished so too did a priceless painting, supposedly an erotic portrait of Lucrezia Borgia, which has captivated men for generations. 
     
    When a body is discovered in a hidden crypt beneath the checkerboard courtyard of the palazzo, other secrets are unearthed with it. Lying with the body is a document, a story of an episode in Casanova's colourful life, and within it a set of clues that might lead to the location of the painting. But it quickly becomes apparent that Lizzie and Arnold are not the only ones interested in finding the painting. 
     
    The search for the lost Lucrezia quickly becomes a race through the secret history of Venice, one with potentially deadly consequences.
