Chadwick Alice: Dark Like Under / B

Dark Like Under

New York Times bestselling author Pamela Redmond returns with a propulsive family drama about a woman of a certain age whose picture-perfect California life gets turned upside down. Sixty-something Helena Drummond rules the roost at her Santa Barbara compound. Clad in her go-to black cashmere sweaters and wide linen pants, she keeps close tabs on her three grown sons, the property, and her massively successful skincare company, which she wishes hadn't gotten quite so big. When she was a single mother, trying to find a place to live, and stumbling onto the cottage with her young son, Oscar, she had such an idealistic vision for the products. Speaking of which, where was Oscar? Helena's well-orchestrated world cracks open at the seams when Oscar doesn't show up at her A-list relaunch party. His wife and kids are there, yes (and almost on time), and his brothers. So where could he be? What happens next uproots Helena's life in every way: her relationships, her control, her love, her friendships, her legacy, and her business. In a breathless narrative that mixes a police investigation with an eccentric cast of characters--a long-lost love reappearing late in life, a minimalist millionaire, cherished children, an Irish nanny, a former movie star, the local real estate celebrity, and even the security guards at the iron gate--The Matriarch will draw you in and leave you wanting more. Just like Helena would want it.

A Virago Modern Classic

Mrs Palfrey At The Claremont

'Sensuously detailed . . . edgy . . . riveting' Financial TimesTwo strangers meet on a bus along a dusty road in rural France. Tati is a tough, work-worn widow, who runs the farm her late husband left behind, while trying to keep out of the way of her predatory in-laws. Jean is an odd, quiet man, recently out of prison, with nowhere to go. These lost souls recognize something in each other, and Jean becomes Tati's lodger and farm worker. In the still and heat of the summer, they labour together and, inevitably, begin to sleep together. Soon, however, their strange affair will become something altogether darker. First published in 1942 at the same time as Albert Camus' The Outsider, this is Simenon's existentialist masterpiece, exploring the dangerous mystery of who we are and what we desire. 'Published, like The Outsider, in 1942, and at least equal to Camus's work in portraying a doomed and alienated life' David Hare

The Widow Couderc

Inspector Ramsay

Ann Cleeves Classic Crime - engaging mysteries to savour, beloved characters to meet again The Baby-Snatcher is the sixth and final mystery novel in the Inspector Ramsay series by Ann Cleeves, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Shetland, Vera Stanhope and Two Rivers crime series. Marilyn Howes and her mother Kathleen are an inseparable duo, until one night Kathleen doesn’t come home . . . Fifteen-year-old Marilyn turns up alone and frightened on Inspector Ramsay’s doorstep, so he takes the young girl home to the isolated coastal community known as the Headland. But in the Howes’ dark and cluttered kitchen they find Kathleen safe and apparently well, though acting rather mysteriously. Six months later, Ramsay has more or less forgotten the strange incident, busy as he is on the trail of a local child abductor. Until he receives news that Mrs Howes has disappeared once more. And for the second time he is drawn into the strange relationships of the families living on the lonely Headland. Then a woman’s body washes up on the beach . . . Praise for Ann Cleeves: ‘Clever, compassionate and atmospheric, with a great cast of new characters to love’ – Elly Griffiths, author of the Ruth Galloway series ‘Nobody does unsettling undercurrents better than Ann Cleeves’ – Val McDermid, bestselling author of the Tony Hill &amp; Carol Jordan series

Shocked and saddened to find Ursula’s body the morning after this conflict, Molly and her husband George decide to piece together a picture of Ursula’s last days. And it soon becomes clear that, for many people on the estate, hers was a very convenient death.

The seventh mystery novel in the Palmer-Jones series by Ann Cleeves, winner of the 2017 CWA Diamond Dagger.

Ann Cleeves Classic Crime - engaging mysteries to savour, beloved characters to meet again The Mill on the Shore is the seventh mystery novel featuring George and Molly Palmer-Jones by Ann Cleeves, author of the Shetland and Vera Stanhope crime series. Meg Morrissey refuses to believe that her husband James committed suicide. James was in high spirits because he’d finally completed his long-awaited autobiography. He didn’t leave a suicide note. But even more suspiciously the record of his life’s environmental achievement, his magnum opus, has gone missing. Troubled, Meg calls in amateur sleuths George and Molly Palmer-Jones to investigate. They soon uncover that life in the Morrissey family is not as idyllic as it seems – relations with ex-wife Cathy are not as friendly as Meg makes out and James appears to have fallen for another woman. But the disappearance of his autobiography is most puzzling of all. Did he uncover a secret so damaging someone was prepared to kill for it? George and Molly must try to fit together the missing pieces of information to reveal who could have wanted James dead . . .

Monkey Williams

I'm infamous for killing someone twenty years ago. Someone I once loved. Lucy Golden is a true crime icon, infamous for killing someone as a teenager while in a cult led by her father. Twenty years later, still coasting on the original success of the memoir she wrote as a teenager, Lucy reluctantly makes a deal with hot documentary filmmaker Isaac Coleman to revisit the trauma of her past. Take a risk. It won't kill you. At The Oasis fifteen-year-old Lucy believed she had finally found acceptance and belonging - only to stumble upon a horrific realization and violently take matters into her own hands... When everyone acts like you have no power, it's important to remind them that you do. Now she must walk a tightrope between feeding Isaac enough material to keep him onside, whilst desperately protecting a long-buried secret that could destroy the story she's been telling and selling all along...
