Believing the Lie

 by Eliabeth George

Detective Inspector Lynley is approached by business magnate Brian Fairclough for a confidential review (not a formal investigation), into the circumstances of his nephew’s death. The coroner’s verdict was  accidental death.

Still grieving the death of his wife, Detective Inspector Lynley has reasons of his own for welcoming a spell away from London.

 After meeting various members of the extended Fairclough dynasty, Lynley discovers many possible motives for murder, and uncovers layers of deceit and betrayal that expose the lies at the heart of the Cumbrian community

As Easy as Murder

by Quintin Jardine

Evil stalks an idyllic retreat…

A tranquil Spanish village by the sea is the perfect place for Primavera Blackstone to raise her ten-year-old Tom, son of the late lamented Oz, especially when they are joined by his nephew, tyro pro golfer Jonny Sinclair. But when her best friend Shirley introduces her new man, Patterson Cowling, he seems to be a trouble magnet. A casual thief tries to pick his pocket and is found a few days later with his face blown off. A bloody coincidence, or does Patterson Cowling have a past to protect?

As the body count rises, and Primavera becomes den mother to an extended golfing family, it seems that homicide is par for the course, and that hazards lie in wait for everyone.

Can she save the day, or is the game just too rough?
