Nicci French – “Killing Me Softly”

365 pages

‘Cancel all your appointments and unplug the phone. Once started, you will do nothing until you finish this thriller’ HARPERS & QUEEN.

Alice London seems to have everything: close friends, a loving boyfriend, a successful career. Then one day she meets a stranger while crossing the street and – impulsively, immediately – abandons her old, safe life for a passionate affair. It leads her into a dark, dangerous realm of eroticism and extreme experience that both entices and alarms her.

Adam Tallis, heroic survivor of a disastrous mountaineering expedition, teaches her things about herself she never knew. As she learns more about her lover, she enters his world of risk and transgression – and begins to uncover a past with troubling secrets. But love and sexual obsession overwhelm her until they threaten everything: her safety, her sanity, and, finally, her life.

‘Thrillers claiming to be “dark, erotic and compulsive” are two-a-penny. But this is the genuine article ... not only a nail-biting read, but also has great insight into male and female desire, obsession, self-destructiveness and the wilder shores of love’ DAILY TELEGRAPH

‘Compulsive ... sexy and scary’ ELLE

‘A real frightener’ LITERARY REVIEW.

Linda Howard – “Now You See Her”

325 pages

A talented landscape painter and portrait artist in her early thirties, Paris Sweeney has achieved enviable success: her work sells at all exclusive New York City gallery owned by her friend, Candra Worth, and her popularity is at an all time high. Sweeney, as she is affectionately called by those close to her, loves her work and is content in her life.

Then she begins to notice odd changes: traffic lights turn green when she approaches. Her plants are in full bloom out of season. Perhaps there just coincidences, but she can't ignore her dreams – lush, vivid, and drenched in vibrant hues – which are influencing her artwork. And she can't deny her growing restlessness ... Suddenly, impulsively, Sweeney finds herself unable to resist a night of intense passion with millionaire Richard worth, Candra’s estranged husband. But the true dangers of all – consuming urges are about to be revealed where Sweeney least expects it: in her paintings.

After a creative frenzy she can barely recall, Sweeney discovers she has rendered a disturbing image – a graphic murder scene. Against her better instincts, she returns to the canvas time and again, filling out each chilling detail piece by piece – a shoe, the body of a victim, and soon, and soon, the victim’s face. But when a shattering, real-life murder mirrors her creation, Sweeney is thrust into suspicious light. Now, with every stroke of her brush, she risks incriminating herself with her inexplicable knowledge of a deadly crime. And every desire – including her hungry attraction to Richard - is loaded with uncertainty and terrifying discovery as Sweeney races to unmask a killer.

‘With the breathless excitement that distinguishes all of her blockbusters of romantic suspense, Linda Howard grips the imagination and touches the hearts as only she can in Now You See Her’.

Paula Gosling – “Death and Shadows” A Blackwater Bay Mystery.

378 pages

Laura Brandon didn't want to work for her uncle because she valued her independence. So she recommended her friend Julie for the job of physiotherapist at the exclusive Mountview Clinic. A few months later, Julie is brutally murdered in the woods that surround the clinic.

Laura tinged with guilt, wants to find out why – so she offers herself as Julie’s replacement. It isn't long before she begins to regret her impulsive move. Confronted by tight-lipped nurses, inter-staff feuds, and strange tales about a shadowy evil that lurks in the woods, she realises that Mountview and the town of Blackwater itself may have something to hide. But playing detective is rather awkward when the clinic’s owner/ manager is your very own uncle, and you don't even know where to begin.

As Laura and Sherriff Matt Gabriel struggle to find leads, ex-cop Tom Gilliam, a patient embittered, skilled, and rude enough to put his nose where it shouldn't be’ agrees to help.

Then there’s another murder, eerily similar to the first.

Is there a psychotic serial killer on the loose? However terrifying, that would be a simple explanation. But Laura is sceptical. Why are the clinic’s drug supplies being tampered with? What is the explanation for the disappearing trust fund? Is it possible that her own uncle has assisted in the sudden deaths of two apparently healthy – and wealthy – patients? And why does Solomon, the Biggest Cat in Blackwater, appear to know more than everyone else?

‘Fast – paced, entertaining, and full of mis-directions, Paula Goslings latest tales from the Great Lakes brilliantly confirms her mastery in the art of murder mystery’.
