The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell
Book Synopsis
This is the sequel to The Family Upstairs.
DCI Samuel Owusu is called to the scene and quickly sends the bag for forensic examination. The bones are those of a young woman, killed by a blow to the head many years ago.
Also inside the bag is a trail of clues, in particular the seeds of a rare tree which lead DCI Owusu back to a mansion in Chelsea where, nearly thirty years previously, three people lay dead in a kitchen, and a baby waited upstairs for someone to pick her up.
The clues point forward too to a brother and sister in Chicago searching for the only person who can make sense of their pasts.
The It Girl by Ruth Ware
Book Synopsis
Everyone wanted her life
Someone wanted her dead
It was Hannah who found April’s body ten years ago.
It was Hannah who didn’t question what she saw that day.
Did her testimony put an innocent man in prison?
She needs to know the truth.
Even if it means questioning her own friends.
Even if it means putting her own life at risk.
Because if the killer wasn’t a stranger, it’s someone she knows…
The House in the Woods by Mark Dawson
Book Synopsis
On Christmas Eve, DCI Mackenzie Jones is called to a shooting at a remote farmhouse. Ralph Mallender believes his father lies dead inside. When three more bodies are discovered, it’s clear a festive family gathering has turned into a gruesome tragedy.
At first it seems like an open and shut case: a murder-suicide committed by Ralph’s volatile brother Cameron. Then new evidence makes Mack suspect the man who reported the crime is in fact the perpetrator.
But Mack isn’t the only one with a stake in the case. Private investigator Atticus Priest has been hired to get Ralph acquitted. That means unearthing any weaknesses in Mack’s evidence.
Irascible, impatient, and unpredictable, Atticus has weaknesses of his own. Mack knows all about them because they share a past – both professionally and personally. This time round, however, they aren’t on the same side. And as Atticus picks at the loose ends of the case, everything starts to unravel in a way neither of them could ever have predicted…
Agent Seventeen by John Brownlow
Book Synopsis
Lovers of high-octane, edge-of-your-seat, thrill ride reads will be enthralled with this new book from John Brownlow.
Seventeen is the number given to the current top assassin in the murky world of black ops. Governments across the globe call on his services when diplomacy fails. Every other high-profile hitman has a target put his on his back but there is one person who’s not afraid of him – sixteen, his predecessor who disappeared some time ago.
But when he is tasked with killing sixteen the mission goes awry and the hunter becomes the hunted. He knew that sixteen would be a formidable opponent but just not how formidable. The two have several run-ins with neither gaining the upper hand until they eventually talk and realise that perhaps they are both being played. But who is the puppet master? Can they really trust each other and will either of them survive to find out?

Why would Olivia who had it all attempt to murder her husband when she had it all? She had a new love and she was happy – why not just leave him?
How far will both of them go to hide or uncover the truth? Suspense-filled with twists and turns from beginning to end.
