Sinopsis

Lost in the Welsh countryside, antiquarian Alfred Bannerlee seeks shelter in a sprawling, decaying mansion just as a wedding is about to take place. But the eerie estate harbors chilling secrets, including the legend of Parson Lolly, a spectral figure said to haunt its halls. As night falls, the household is thrown into chaos when a series of inexplicable events—and murder—turn legend into terrifying reality.
 
Told through Bannerlee’s diary entries, Death in the Dusk is a gripping blend of gothic horror and detective fiction, where the line between the supernatural and reality blurs with every shadowy corridor.

    Jane Austen in the hands of queen of crime, Val McDermid. Get ready for a very different Northanger Abbey. 
    Seventeen-year-old Catherine ‘Cat’ Morland has led a sheltered existence in rural Dorset, a life entirely bereft of the romance and excitement for which she yearns. So when Cat’s wealthy neighbours, the Allens, invite her to Edinburgh Festival, she is sure adventure beckons. 
    Edinburgh initially offers no such thrills: Susie Allen is obsessed by shopping, Andrew Allen by the Fringe. A Highland Dance class, though, brings Cat a new acquaintance: Henry Tilney, a pale, dark-eyed gentleman whose family home, Northanger Abbey, sounds perfectly thrilling. And an introduction to Bella Thorpe, who shares her passion for supernatural novels, provides Cat with a like-minded friend. But with Bella comes her brother John, an obnoxious banker whose vulgar behaviour seems designed to thwart Cat’s growing fondness for Henry. 
    Happily, rescue is at hand. The rigidly formal General Tilney invites her to stay at Northanger with son Henry and daughter Eleanor. Cat’s imagination runs riot: an ancient abbey, crumbling turrets, secret chambers, ghosts…and Henry! What could be more deliciously romantic? 
    But Cat gets far more than she bargained for in this isolated corner of the Scottish Borders. The real world outside the pages of a novel proves to be altogether more disturbing than the imagined world within… 
    In Northanger Abbey, Val McDermid, the bestselling author, delivers a suspenseful narrative that will keep readers guessing. This top mystery fiction book is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers. 
    For fans of Ann Cleeves (The Killing Stones), J M Dalgliesh (When Death Calls), Nick Louth (The Last Ride), Elly Griffiths (The Last Remains), and Marion Todd (Bridges to Burn).

    After doing some digging, Isabel creates a list of potential suspects, all with a grudge against Waters. Was his death an act of revenge? Isabel is about to find out . . .

    Decades of secrets surface when a high school reunion spirals into a deadly reckoning. 
     
    When Sheriff Red Hammergren welcomes billionaire Vance Judson back to Lykkins Lake for his high school reunion, his return stirs up more than nostalgia—it unearths old grudges, long-buried betrayals, and a reckoning sixty years in the making. At the same time, a young podcaster, drawn to whispers of an unsolved hit-and-run from the same era, begins asking questions—questions that cut too close to the truth and put a target on her back. 
     
    What begins as unease soon turns to fear when reunion attendees start turning up dead and the podcaster vanishes without a trace. Red races to untangle a mystery that refuses to stay in the past, knowing the next victim could already be marked. With help from her friends, she pieces together a history stained with privilege, silence, and revenge. Each bit of evidence brings her closer to the truth—but also closer to a killer who has already waited a lifetime to finish what was started. 
     
    In a town where loyalty is a dangerous currency, Red must determine who is paying for old sins—and who is collecting the debt.
