Holmes, Marple & Poe (2024)
Holmes, Margaret & Poe

(Holmes, Marple & Poe, book 1)
James Patterson and Brian Sitts
"I loved every criminally delicious moment of Holmes, Margaret and Poe. What a wild ride! Hooked from the first page - and not just by the crime story but also the depth and complexity of the characters. Rock on Book 2!"
thumb
The Impossible Truths of Love (2021)
Hannah Beckerman
"Beautifully written, emotionally charged story of family and secrets that had me hooked to the end."
thumb
The Secret (2020)
Gemma Rogers
"A beautifully written edge-of-your-seat thriller that had me guessing right until the end."
