Author Grace Waterhouse has hit rock bottom. Her ex-husband has just had a baby with his new partner, and her latest novel is...well, the less said the better. Desperate for distraction, Grace impulsively takes on a friend’s cleaning job, parachuting herself into a new social circle including an eccentric OAP, a heartbroken 20-something and one James Brooke, an enigmatic lawyer with an unblinking stare. Add to this mix an anxious literary agent, a hairdresser who doesn’t mince words and a newly repentant ex-husband, and Grace's career break proves to be more breathless than breather.

Melissa Craig is absolutely delighted with her new life in an old crumbling cottage, spending her days pruning the primroses and getting to know Binkie, the ginger cat next door. She only wishes she had made the move to the countryside sooner. But when a knock at the door brings news of a shocking discovery, she suddenly finds herself thrown in to the middle of a baffling mystery: the bones of a young woman have been found in the woods just behind her new home. Perhaps the little village of Upper Bembury is not as idyllic as it first seemed? Strange phone calls in the night convince Melissa that the police are barking up completely the wrong tree, so she can’t resist doing a little digging of her own. From the bingo hall to the beauty salon and beyond, her search ruffles a few feathers and uncovers many of the village’s most scandalous secrets, but gets her no closer to finding the culprit.

Fifteen years ago, a little girl was murdered. Now journalist Jess Vaughan and detective Harry Lind are asking questions about what really happened that day. Questions that someone will kill to keep hidden. No one knows crime like Roberta Kray.

The Venetian Game
- By Janice T. on 04-03-21
Summary
In 1897 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, the disturbed Dutch artist, Vincent Van Gogh, went out into a field to paint and was shot in the abdomen. He died two days later, from what they say was suicide....
Over a century later, despite the mystery of his missing materials, evidence of a stunning discovery emerged. Van Gogh’s final and incomplete painting had apparently survived.
Accidentally caught up in the intrigue, failing British artist, Alex must discover its location for his wealthy patron, or be turned in for his crimes - forgery.
Unfortunately...it is not only Alex on the hunt. It is a race to unravel the mystery and track down the painting before a Russian art collector does. This man who will stop at nothing, and any means necessary, to get his hands on Van Gogh’s final painting, now has his eye on Alex.
Stuck between murder at the hands of a Russian or jail for forgery and a broken marriage, that painting becomes Alex’s only chance of turning his life around.
A suspenseful mystery weaving the historical facts of Van Gogh’s death, and his final painting, effortlessly through this work of fiction.
