Keep Your Friends Close by Joanne Ryan
She knows your darkest secret… Can she keep it?
It’s a normal sunny day when Mia sees her ex-boyfriend on the street where she lives. But she knows that’s crazy. She knows it can’t possibly be him. She knows… because she killed him.
Mia and Carrie have been best friends since school. They share everything: clothes, shoes, a home… and their secrets.
Only Carrie knew what Mia did that night. Where everything went wrong and Mia’s boyfriend attacked her, so she attacked him right back.
Carrie made the problem go away. Like she always would for her best friend. They’ve got on with their lives. Mia’s even met someone new – a man she thinks she could be with forever.
But now it looks like her ex is back. Alive and well. So either Mia is losing her mind, or somebody very close to her has been lying…
The Good Twin by Diane Saxon
Mum died recently. It was quick and unexpected. On the cusp of adulthood, and without mum to guide us my sister, Skye and I are left with decisions which will change our lives forever. As identical twins, we’d normally choose to stick together like glue, but anger and grief gets the better of us and we pull in different directions. Skye wants us to desert our broken family for university.
I want us to huddle together at home with our grief-stricken dad and our younger sister, Jade. At an impasse, each of us makes our own choices, stubbornly refusing to give way. Finding myself alone and without the other half of me, I’m desperately lonely. I need a friend. Someone to talk to. Someone who understands. But, when I find that special someone, I know I’ve made a terrible mistake and trusted the wrong person…
Death at St. Jude’s by Mary Grand
The Isle of Wight has always felt like a safe place to live for keen dog-walker and reluctant sleuth Susan. But after being involved in the investigation of a troubling crime near her old home, Susan decides to move to the peaceful village of Bishopstone.
Susan loves the sense of community and immediately throws herself into village life, volunteering at the local primary school and joining the choir of St Jude’s. So, when there is an altercation at the meeting of the choir committee, followed by a shocking accident involving head teacher Lawrence, Susan is dismayed to realise her powers of deduction may be needed again.
There is a dangerous criminal hiding in plain sight and with the police reluctant to help, Susan must put together the pieces of the fiendish puzzle to flush out a killer before they strike again.
The Girl in Seat 2A by Diana Wilkinson
Funny how one lie can spiral…
One thing about me: I HATE flying. It’s my worst nightmare.
That’s why I book seat 2A every time I fly. Since my big win, I’ve been booking seats 2B and 2C as well. They’re my comfort seats, they cushion the claustrophobia, and at last I can afford them.
I am now determined to live the life of luxury. I deserve it, after all.
How to Live Like a Millionaire is the book I’m reading on this flight. When it lands on the floor, a handsome guy hands it back to me. I know he clocks the title, because he’s totally charming and talks to me as if I’m one of the Marbella Millionaire set.
When I land in sunny Spain, I’ll be acting like a millionairess, that’s for sure – even if it’s stretching the truth, just a bit. We all know that money talks, and I intend to talk my way into a better life.
Who knows… maybe this guy, the one who had the cheek to sit down in seat 2C, might be someone special. He has an air of danger, but who cares?
