The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective
'Superlatives can't do this delightful novel justice. Simply put, it's the most charming, heartfelt, and funniest mystery I've ever read' Katy HaysMrs B, landlady of the Marigold Cottages, only rents to favoured tenants, and they're an eccentric (read: odd, slightly broken) bunch. There's anxious playwright Sophie, agoraphobe over-sharer Hamilton, single mum and sculptor Ocean, perfectionist Lily-Ann, and the ever-mysterious Nicholas. Life in the cottages is peaceful though, until hulking, fresh-out-of-prison Anthony moves in and a dead body turns up. Anthony is arrested and Mrs B, convinced of his innocence, promptly confesses to the crime herself. Horrified, her tenants band together to clear her name, forming the somewhat haphazard 'Marigold Cottages Murder Collective'. But as they dig deeper and a second body is discovered, further secrets are unearthed. Can this motley collection of amateur sleuths solve the case before one of them becomes the next victim?'By turns funny, smart, and cozy, fans of Agatha Christie and Kat Ailes will whip through this one' Catherine Mack

Yorkshire, 1983. Lorraine Quick''s life was looking up with a promotion that took her away from the grim Memorial Hospital and all its bad associations. But now Lorraine has her work cut out for her building a PR-friendly team out of the ragtag staff of the infamous Windwell Asylum as it transitions into a modern, top-security unit housing some of the most dangerous criminals in the country. And then Lorraine discovers a brutal murder has taken place on site despite the fifteen-foot-high perimeter wall and heavy-duty locks.Between the asylum''s lingering reputation for violence, the haunting underground tunnels of the old institution and the arrival of almost-old flame DS Diaz to investigate the murder, events are coming to a head for Lorraine at the old asylum.

Tajomstvá, pomsta a brutálna vražda narušia idylický zimný raj.
Vo švédskom Are je zločin zriedkavý. Preto všetkých prekvapí vražda bývalého olympijského lyžiara Johana Anderssona, ktorého našli v lese dobitého na smrť. Podľa jeho zúfalej manželky nemal žiadnych nepriateľov. Prípadu sa ujíma Hanna Ahlanderová, ktorá dúfa, že sa jej na policajnej stanici v Are podarí získať trvalé miesto, a jej kolega Daniel Lindskog, ktorý je rozpoltený medzi prácou a rodinou.
Medzitým sa v izolovaných dedinkách pri nórskych hraniciach zakoreňuje konzervatívna náboženská sekta. Mladá Rebecka sníva o službe Bohu a snaží sa byť poslušnou manželkou pastora. V manželstve je však čoraz zraniteľnejšia a čoskoro sa začne obávať o vlastný život.
