  It is winter in the Cotswolds and a suspicious death has occurred. Psychic medium ‘Madame Zelda’ is found dead on Christmas morning, an open box of chocolates by her side. DCI Hayley Pascal and her new oppo, DS Artie Frobisher, have little to occupy themselves over the dead time that is Christmas at Oxford Police Station, until the chocolates are found to contain a poisonous substance. Cold cases can wait. They now have a new case to solve: one of MURDER. 
  There are no shortage of suspects: the victim’s feckless husband Charlie, her simple-minded son Luke and Grant Vaughan, the man she has cut out of his mother’s will. Added to these complications, Hayley Pascal is missing her daughter, who lives with her ex-husband in Paris and who has promised to visit her at New Year, but doesn’t. Here is a straightforward murder mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie, but it is also a story of ordinary people driven to drastic measures through loneliness, misery and the need for revenge.

  Happy New Year not! 
  Fate, destiny, purpose what does it all mean? 
  For Lynn, it means being a loving wife, a protective mother, a loyal friend and now the hidden ace in the hole for a host of earthbound Angels. It also means putting her marriage, her friendships, and her own self-preservation, through the supernatural ringer. 
  When self-centered, popular restaurateur Kristopher Snow, hidden member of the Earthbound Seraphim and one of the seven Guards of Haven, goes missing Lynn offers up the use of her celestial radar abilities to aid in locating the lost Angel. 
  Who could have predicted that being related to a preternatural being could be so perilous? DNA doesn't always make you family, but in Lynn's case it sure does link you to a sizeable legion of otherworldly beings beings who right now need her gifts in their time of crisis. Unfortunately, there are others of their kind who seek to use Lynn's abilities to guarantee anarchy ensues. 
  Would you agreed to help these outsiders, these earthbound Angels, knowing that doing so could put not only yourself—but possibly everyone you love, in danger? Are the risks worth the gains, worth the benefit of their protection? What if those who you aid today become the saviors you end up needing in the not so distant future? 
  This novel, like the others in succession, is not a standalone story. 
  Book 5, Haven Lost, is the next in The Guard Trilogy Extended Series - The Guards of Haven. Although the original three books of The Guard Trilogy can stand alone as a complete story, and even though these next novels adhere to the original storyline, listeners should complete the trilogy before going on to listen to the next books in the extended series.

  When strange bodies are found drifting in Vermont’s flooded rivers—grotesque things that defy classification—folklore scholar Albert N. Wilmarth dismisses the wild rumors of alien creatures lurking in the hills. But when he begins corresponding with a reclusive local, Henry Akeley, he finds himself drawn into a terrifying web of cosmic horror. As he journeys to Akeley’s remote farmhouse, Wilmarth uncovers a truth far more sinister than he ever imagined—one that challenges the very limits of human understanding. 
  A cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos, "The Whisperer in Darkness" is a spine-chilling tale of extraterrestrial horror, secret conspiracies, and the unfathomable terrors lurking beyond the veil of reality.
