About the book
The last time Gwen Kane killed a man, it was to stay alive. This time, she's going looking.
For the first time in years, Gwen has something worth protecting. A job at the only café in Black Pines. A best friend stitching her life back together. A man who loves her enough to bury her secrets beside his own.
Then her friend Delilah turns up dead, and Gwen knows exactly who did it.
Sebastian doesn't want to help. He killed once for his own sister, and he'll carry that weight forever, but he keeps insisting what Gwen wants is different. That rage isn't justice. That loving her means pulling her back from the edge, not stepping over it beside her.
Gwen has spent her whole life being told to swallow her fury. She's done swallowing.
A funeral she wasn't invited to. A predator hiding behind a grieving boyfriend's face. A fifteen-year-old sister already looking at him the way Delilah once did. And a partner who can't decide whether he's saving Gwen or losing her to something neither of them will survive.
Because Evan isn't the first name on Gwen's list. He's only the first she's willing to say out loud.

About the book
Six absolutely gripping Scottish crime mysteries. 1800 pages packed with twists and turns. Now in one complete great-value box set.
‘Templeton has become the crime tzar of the Scottish small town.’ Val McDermid.
Detective Kelso Strang hasn’t been sent to Skye to solve a case — he’s been sent there to disappear.
THE SETTING
These six unforgettable mysteries unfold across Scotland's stark, rugged, rural landscapes, where remote villages, desolate moors, rolling hills, and dramatic cliffs conceal a deeper tension.
From the windswept Flow Country to the stillness of the Scottish Borders, to the isolation of the Isle of Skye, each place reflects the secrets its people hide. The silence is broken only by the wind or the cry of a raven, masking an undercurrent of danger. These breathtaking locations are never what they seem — beneath their beauty lies a darkness waiting to be uncovered.
MEET THE DETECTIVE
DI Kelso Strang, once an army sniper and now a senior officer with the Edinburgh police force, is still reeling from the sudden death of his wife. It left him hollow, short-tempered, and increasingly difficult to reach. His job is the only thing that keeps him going. He now lives alone in a harbour cottage, where silence suits him better than small talk and black coffee keeps him steady. He reads old poetry, owns far too many maps and has a scar down one side of his face that people don’t ask about twice.

About the book
Over 1,700 pages of gripping crime fiction from a former Buffalo PD cold case detective.
Meet a detective who's as relentless as a Lake Erie winter. The complete series in one outstanding-value box set.
Strong female lead. Buffalo cold. Cases everyone else gave up on.
In the freezing grip of upstate New York, Buffalo Cold Case Homicide detective Lauren Riley is as unyielding as the snow that comes howling in off the lake. She's twice divorced, raised two daughters alone, and they're grown now. Her partner Shane Reese has her back. Every cold case on her desk hides a killer who thought time was on their side.
Lauren doesn't break. She digs in. She carries the scars of a career spent inside the room with people who do unspeakable things. She knows the longer a case stays cold, the more comfortable a killer gets, and that's exactly when they make a mistake.
But her latest case isn’t cold — it’s red hot. When a married mother of two is found strangled behind a store, a teenage boy is accused of murder. His DNA is under the victim’s fingernails. His prints are on her car. But for Lauren, dragged into the investigation against her will, something doesn’t add up. And the deeper she digs, the more she suspects that nothing about this case is as it first seems.
These mysteries deliver authentic procedural detail, pitch-perfect dialogue, and a heroine who keeps coming back no matter how hard the case hits. With twenty years inside the Buffalo Police Department behind her, author Lissa Marie Redmond writes from the desk Lauren Riley sits at.
These compelling procedurals are perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen and J.A. Jance.

About the book
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BLOODY SCOTLAND DEBUT PRIZE AND LONGLISTED FOR THE McILVANNEY PRIZE, 2019.
Some secrets refuse to stay silent.
Anna Scavolini hasn’t set foot in Glasgow for ten years – and she’s not short of reasons. Her first night back in town takes a decidedly macabre turn when she stumbles upon an old flame, Andrew Foley, bleeding to death on the snow-clad slopes of Kelvingrove Park.
Who killed Andrew in such a savage way – and why? If the police have any leads, they’re keeping them to themselves. Convinced that Andrew was deliberately targeted rather than a random victim, Anna begins her own investigation, unearthing a trail of long-buried secrets leading back to a crime committed over a decade ago.
A crime so unspeakable its perpetrators are prepared to take their silence to the grave.
Perfect for fans of Denise Mina, Rachel Abbott and Val McDermid, In the Silence is the first in a gripping and atmospheric series of Scottish crime novels featuring criminology lecturer Anna Scavolini.

About the book
From the New York Times–bestselling author: A glamorous French villa. A carefully curated guest list. A body in the pool.
The South of France is stunning, though not without its imperfections, from pickpockets to burglars to the occasional cold-blooded killer. But in his twenty-five years of service, Baxter—with a spotless reputation as a polished, well-mannered butler—has never run into any issues catering to the ultrawealthy. Until now.
Baxter’s latest assignment is at Villa Sérénité, where Alec Prescott is hosting a colorful cast of characters, including his ex-wife, his much younger lady friend, and some Hollywood hotshots, after the Cannes Film Festival. But it doesn’t take long for a week of sun, wine, and a family birthday celebration to devolve into bickering and backstabbing. And soon, secrets aren’t the only thing floating to the surface . . .
When one of the guests is found dead in the villa’s glittering pool, the unflappable Baxter must assist the gendarmes in determining who’s responsible. With some standing to gain and others motivated to take it away, fingers are pointed in all directions. A good butler is expected to see everything and say nothing—but what if he too becomes a target?
“Mackintosh shrewdly mixes soapy drama with quality sleuthing to deliver a diverting tale of murder and money.” —Publishers Weekly

About the book
One body.
Two Minds.
An obsession that might bury her.
Maeve Lockhart has spent six months chasing shadows in Thornhaven, desperate to uncover the truth about her best friend Bethany’s disappearance. But her search no longer focuses on the past. It is tied to a string of violent murders, all connected to Thornhaven Orphanage, where it all began.
Caleb Blackwood keeps his distance, clinging to the quiet life he has built as a small-town veterinarian. But Caleb has a secret, one he does not fully understand, and when Maeve starts asking questions, his fragile control begins to crumble. Asher, the darker side of him, emerges, and he is impossible to contain.
When Maeve receives a chilling package signed by A, her investigation takes a dangerous turn. The deeper she digs, the more she is forced to confront not only Thornhaven’s secrets, but the growing darkness within herself. Her connection to Caleb threatens to unravel everything, and the truth she uncovers may cost her far more than her sanity.
As the lines between victim and villain blur, Maeve must decide: Can she trust Caleb to help her, or is he the very reason she will not make it out alive?
Shattered Minds is a dark, romantic psychological thriller exploring the thin line between love and obsession, trust, and the price of the truth.
For fans of psychological tension, pitch-black characters, and romance steeped in danger, Amanda Kade’s gripping novel will keep you turning pages.
