The must-read debut thriller of 2026! Dark, twisty and shocking

A GLITTERING NEW COSY MYSTERY STARRING EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE DRAG QUEEN TURNED AMATEUR SLEUTH, MISTY DIVINE... 'Misty Divine has me holding my breath as if I were right there, investigating with her. She's the superhero the world needs right now and forever' DRAG RACE'S JUJUBEE 'With sequins shining and danger lurking backstage, this is a murder mystery where identity matters as much as motive' RuPaul on Murder In The Dressing Room 'All hail Misty Divine! How brilliant to have a proud, unapologetic voice like Misty's to speak out for the LGBT community. Plus - it's a cracking good detective story; as salty and humorous and compelling as the very best drag acts...a rollercoaster read' J.M. HALL ---- Photographer Jeremy Edmunds has vanished without a trace. Last known location? Soho. As the owner of Lady's Bar, no one knows the city - and its secrets - better than drag queen Misty Divine. So who better to help private detective Sylvester Green follow this missing man's trail than the Queen of Soho herself? But no sooner has one mystery landed, than another one takes Misty by surprise. Because the next day, Sylvester is back. The difference? Yesterday, he was alive and safe. Today, he's dripping blood onto her doorstep after narrowly escaping an attack on his life. With danger drawing in, Misty must take Sylvester's investigation into her perfectly manicured hands. Can she solve the case, and find the missing photographer? Or will the next crime for Misty to solve be a murder? --- 'Blood, gore, and the sound of sparkling high heels on Soho Square. More fun than you can shake a foundation stick at - I love it!' Kitty Murphy 'Fabulous. Gripping, intense, fun and loaded with sequins! Just fun from start to finish' 5***** READER REVIEW 'Drama from the very first sentence...this mystery is a real action adventure and thrill ride from beginning to end' Jamie West 'Absolutely brilliant, captivating from start to finish, it's a book I really couldn't put down' 5***** READER REVIEW Why readers are OBSESSED with the Misty Divine Mystery series 'A fabulous cosy murder mystery with lots of twists and turns and lots of humour in it too' 5***** reader review 'Oh my word this is a wonderful book' 5***** reader review 'This murder mystery is so different from what I've read that I loved every second of this book. I mean it' 5***** reader review Why authors LOVE the Misty Divine Mystery series 'Smart and sassy, a sequin-studded murder mystery with blood on the runway. Detective fiction has never been so glam!'

ASHLEY TATE

Missing in Soho

An atmospheric winter's mystery

Coram House

An empty house that isn't empty. A victim who vanishes. An impossible crime? Every Thursday at midday Audrey Brooks cleans the Petrov house. Mr Petrov is never home - in fact he seems to use the house purely as storage for his impressive collection of antiques - but that doesn't affect the care with which Audrey mops, polishes, and carefully winds each of the dozens of beautiful clocks that decorate the tall, elegant, empty London mansion. Until the morning she finds a corpse in the back bedroom, the pristine walls and floor covered in blood, and flees the house in panic. Fifteen minutes later, the police arrive... and find nothing. No body. No blood. The only thing slightly out of the ordinary is the clock in that back bedroom, which is now running four minutes slow. With no victim, the police are convinced there was no murder, but Audrey knows better. A man has been killed, and if they won't do anything about it, she - and her annoying friend Lewis - will. Whodunnit is one thing, but this detective duo must also wrestle with when - and where on earth is the body? It's not long since they solved the murder of their neighbour, so they're not rookie sleuths, and at least this time the case has no connection to their home. Does it? A charming and witty locked-room mystery full of twists, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Tom Hindle, and Janice Hallett. 'A glorious read ... Fans of Richard Osman's books will enjoy - but in my view it's so much better!' ***** Reader review 'An absolute treat ... Audrey and Lewis feel wonderfully real, their personalities shining through every page' ***** Reader review 'Like stepping into a warm hug ... Kept me guessing and was a delight' ***** Reader review 'A delicious plot and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing throughout. Excellent' ***** Reader review

But saving the world from a powerful man who has lost his mind while pursuing justice for an innocent survivor will test Evan like never before. Especially when complicated by Anca's inconvenient insistence that he show some measure of mercy to the men who abducted her.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: A Scintillating Thriller from the Author of The Housemaid Books

Want to Know a Secret?

From a former spy comes an electrifying novel about the mystery, paranoia and ruthlessness of the secretive world of British espionage 'Spies and Other Gods places him in the top tier of today's spy writers' The Spectator 'Wonderfully entertaining' John Banville, author of Booker Prize-winning The Sea 'Wolff offers a subtler version of comic spy fiction that treats its characters as amusing, fascinating and sometimes poignant enigmas' Sunday Times 'Wolff is the new maestro' Simon Sebag Montefiore The Head of British Intelligence is having a bad day. Only six months off retirement and Sir William Rentoul is wondering if he'll make it that far, what with the sudden descent of a brain fog dense enough to turn every day into a series of small humiliations. To make matters worse, Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee - the body that oversees Sir William - has received an anonymous complaint from one of his officers. Sir William dimly recalls accepting that there should be a channel for whistleblowers, but he never expected that they would pick his most sensitive case, one involving an Iranian assassin and a trail of dead bodies, or that the person who turned up to poke their nose into his files should be a lowly parliamentary researcher named Aphra McQueen, who displays smarts, tenacity and rebelliousness in unsettling measures. Aphra seems to know more about the operation than she is letting on. What will she uncover? What is she really up to? And can she survive the unexpected events that will bounce her from London to Birmingham to Paris to Lausanne? 'Extraordinarily good' The Spectator 'A memorable voice in the genre' New York Times

High in the mountains sits Nowhere, a verdant valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at Nowhere for centuries, though never for long, and rarely happily.

Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the graves discovered, the last resting places of lost young men who would never go home.
