Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. VILLA FERRARA A Murder Mystery in the Italian CountrysideWhen travel writer Cecily Marsh arrives at a sun-drenched Tuscan vineyard to research a magazine piece, she expects good wine, golden hills, and a week of uncomplicated beauty. What she gets instead is a dead body, a villa full of suspects, and the growing suspicion that absolutely nothing about this situation is what it appears to be.The victim is Marco Ferrara - charming, magnetic, beloved owner of the Ferrara estate and its celebrated vineyards. The suspects are considerable: a composed and dangerous ex-wife, a flamboyant old rival searching desperately for something he won't explain, a business partner who arrived two days early and has been behaving suspiciously ever since, and a goddaughter whose inheritance may be the motive for everything.The investigating officer is Commissario Bruno Sartori, who has been policing this corner of Tuscany for thirty years and finds Cecily professionally obstructive and personally suspicious - both of which are, he will reluctantly admit, not entirely wrong.And somewhere in the villa, something is being hidden.Sharp, sun-warmed, and wickedly plotted, Villa Ferrara is a beach read murder mystery in the tradition of the great golden age whodunit - full of red herrings, ensemble comedy, and the particular pleasure of a mystery that plays completely fair with its reader. Every clue is planted. Every character is hiding something. And the truth, when it arrives, is simultaneously a complete surprise and the only thing it could possibly have been.Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Tuscan hills, with a cast of characters you will alternately suspect and adore, Villa Ferrara is a novel about wine, inheritance, the complicated mathematics of old friendships, and what it means to build something worth protecting - and what happens when the people you trust most turn out to be the ones you should have been watching all along.Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Alexander McCall Smith, and anyone who has ever wanted to solve a murder in Italy with a glass of very good Sangiovese.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Clara Whitfield has come to Paris to start over.Four months after a breakup and fourteen months without a vacation, the thirty-two-year-old Chicago book editor lands in France for the first time with a colour-coded itinerary, the wrong electrical adaptor, and the quiet determination of a woman who has decided that the best way to stop feeling like a failure is to be somewhere nobody knows her name.She doesn't plan to fall in love. She definitely doesn't plan to get tangled in a murder investigation.On her third day in Paris, two things happen. She meets Julien Marchand - a charming freelance photographer who knows every hidden courtyard, every perfect cafe, every secret the city keeps from tourists - and she learns that a man has been found dead in an apartment across the river. The police are calling it suspicious. The victim had connections to the Paris art world. And nobody seems to know what happened.As Julien guides Clara through a Paris she never knew existed - moonlit walks along the Seine, dinners in Montmartre, mornings in the Marais - she finds herself drawn deeper into the mystery. Who was Alain Dessigny, and why does everyone in his orbit seem to be hiding something? A bitter American expatriate with a grudge. A glamorous gallery owner with money troubles. An elderly neighbour who sees everything and says almost nothing.Clara has always been good at noticing things. It's what makes her a great editor - she spots the inconsistency, the detail that doesn't belong, the sentence that's trying too hard to look innocent. But in Paris, the mystery she's unravelling and the romance she's falling into are more entangled than she realises. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she begins to wonder whether the man showing her the real Paris has been hiding something from her all along.Every Charming Detour is a romantic suspense novel set against the backdrop of the world's most seductive city. It is a story about trust and deception, about the difference between being shown a place and truly seeing it, and about a woman who discovers that the most dangerous lies are the ones wrapped in love.For readers who enjoy sharp female protagonists, atmospheric European settings, and mysteries where the romance is as compelling as the crime.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A forensic auditor with a mind that never stops noticing. A long-distance sleeper train crossing Central Asia. A dead man in Compartment 3. And six passengers who are not what they seem.Zara Kessler boards the sleeper train at Almaty station with nothing more ambitious than a battered notebook, a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, and the hope that a journey across the Silk Road might help her recover from the career implosion that drove her out of London. She is autistic, brilliant, and exhausted - a pattern-reader who sees the world in data and detail, and who has spent her whole life being told she sees too much.When a fellow passenger is found dead in his compartment, Zara becomes the only person on the train willing to investigate. She catalogues the crime scene with forensic precision: the temperature of the tea, the angle of a curtain, a faint bitter smell she cannot name. Her observations are meticulous. Her senses are razor-sharp. Her notebook fills with details that nobody else seems to notice.And then the other passengers start telling her she's wrong.I don't think that's what happened. Are you sure you saw that? Maybe the altitude is affecting you. You look tired - maybe you should rest.One by one, the witnesses contradict her findings. The corrections are gentle, reasonable, concerned - and relentless. Zara begins to doubt herself. She crosses out observations with her own pen. She adds question marks to entries she was certain of hours before. The woman whose perceptions have always been her greatest strength is being systematically convinced that they are her greatest weakness.But Zara's mind works. It has always worked. And buried beneath the corrections and the contradictions and the carefully performed concern, a far larger secret is waiting - one that connects every passenger on the train to the dead man, and that turns a closed-circle murder mystery into something far more personal and far more dangerous than anything Zara expected to find.The question is no longer just who killed the man in Compartment 3. The question is whether Zara will trust her own mind long enough to find out.Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan - the endless golden steppe, the red sands of the Kyzylkum Desert, the turquoise domes of Samarkand and Bukhara, the rusted ghost ships of the Aral Sea - The Sleeper is a locked-room mystery on rails, a novel about perception and trust, and a love letter to the extraordinary world of the Silk Road.For fans of Agatha Christie, Knives Out, and anyone who has ever been told they notice too much.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Two passengers are dead. The doors are sealed. And the detective is wrong about everything.Maggie Ashford-Finch is not looking for trouble. She's a retired insurance-fraud investigator flying London to Sydney to meet the grandchild she's never held - and to face the daughter she hasn't spoken to in four years. All she wants is seventeen hours of peace, a decent glass of wine, and the courage to say the things she's spent a lifetime avoiding.She doesn't get any of it.When a loud, abrasive property developer is found dead in his First class seat during a patch of severe turbulence, the cabin crew turns to Maggie - the only person on board with three decades of investigative experience. There's no diversion. No backup. No outside help. Just 243 passengers sealed inside an aluminium tube at 38,000 feet, and a killer who is still sitting among them.Maggie does what she's always done: she looks for the pattern. She interviews passengers row by row. She maps timelines, chases alibis, and builds a theory that gets sharper with every conversation. The evidence points somewhere. The motive makes sense. The shape of the case is starting to click.Then a second body is discovered - a distinguished surgeon, strangled in the hidden crew rest compartment above the cabin ceiling - and the shape Maggie has been building shatters.Two victims. No connection between them. A cabin full of passengers who are all hiding something - a hedge-fund analyst who won't explain what she's typing, a nervous young man who's been to the lavatory eleven times, a rival developer with an overheard phone call that sounds like a threat, a recent widow who shared the dead man's last kind conversation. Every thread Maggie pulls seems to lead deeper into a conspiracy she can't quite see.But what if there is no conspiracy? What if the reason nothing connects is because nothing was ever supposed to?With hours until landing and the cabin losing faith in her, Maggie faces the hardest thing an investigator can do: abandon the theory she's sure is right - and accept that the truth might have a shape she's never seen before.Set entirely aboard a single ultra-long-haul flight, Seventeen Hours is a fair-play murder mystery in the tradition of clever, voice-driven whodunits - a locked-room puzzle with a modern twist, a cast of suspects you'll love and mistrust in equal measure, and a detective whose warmth, wit, and merciless eye will keep you turning pages long after the cabin lights go down.For readers who love The Thursday Murder Club, Knives Out, and The 71/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.
