Carter Andrea: There Came A-Tapping / B

There Came A-Tapping

Honeychurch Hall

When Eric Pugsley, who runs the unsightly scrapyard on the Honeychurch Hall estate, brings home his Turkish fiancée, everyone is delighted -- even if the marriage does seem to include her feisty mother who is never without a Terkel cigarette dangling from her lips. A Safari Supper at the Hall is held in their honour but trouble begins when somewhere between the first course and dessert, one of the villagers goes missing and is later found drowned in the estate's ornamental lake. Rumours of foul play abound, given that competition is fierce to clinch the Honeychurch Challenge Cup at the upcoming Flower Festival, where sabotage has already come into play - earlier in the week someone released a herd of goats into the village allotments, where of the planned entries were eaten. But things take a sinister turn when Eric asks Kat to value the bride-to-be's 19th century Etruscan engagement ring only to be told that historically it is used for poison - hardly an appropriate choice for love but Eric is adamant it's what his fiancée wants. And then a second body is found... unearthing a hotbed of sabotage, blackmail, and old grudges.

It's dangerous in the country. Cosy crime set in a small community in Devon, featuring ex-celebrity antiques dealer Kat Stanford

A Fatal Feast at Honeychurch Hall

But the South Atlantic in winter is about the most hostile environment on earth. And before you can fight, first you have to survive . . .Complex, rocket-paced, and dripping with authenticity, Deception Island is a unique thriller that conveys the details of the intelligence world, survival techniques, combat tactics and military hardware so convincingly that there will be questions asked in the MoD about just who it is that might have written this book . . .

Deception Island

Margaret Evans is a butcher's daughter, working in Whitechapel's Butcher Row in the late 1830s. Her skill with the knife and saw brings her to the attention of an upper-class doctor, who witnesses her carrying out an impromptu amputation of an injured child's leg, and he offers her a position in his Highgate house as a maid and sometime medical assistant. At first, all is well. Margaret likes her employer and, as well as learning to make pies worthy of a gentleman in the kitchen, she assists the doctor with medical procedures. But something is off. The doctor's wife is bedbound, her body criss-crossed with surgical scars, and the collection of body parts that float in jars in the surgery seems to be increasing. Then when Margaret recovers from a debilitating illness only to discover she is pregnant, she realises her unborn child might well end up in a specimen jar alongside several others in the doctor's study. Arriving in a Mayfair brothel as her pregnancy nears its end, Margaret finds friendship and comfort, but realises she's in danger when she sees several of the doctor's freemason friends visit the bordello. One night, Margaret goes into labour and passes out. When she wakes, she is told her baby was born dead and has been taken away to be buried. But an anonymous note, pushed under her pillow, tells her otherwise, and to come to a pie shop for more information. The baker, Mr Lovett, who was tasked with taking her child away tries to extract money from Margaret but, in a scuffle, he hits his head and dies instantly. Margaret decides to take over his pie shop and pose as his widow. Margaret finds she's unable to get any credit at butchers' shops as her ?husband' owes so much money. Thankfully, her upstairs tenant, the barber Sweeney Todd, is on hand to pay the bills - though this means she's now in his debt. So, when the body of a man, bleeding from the neck, falls through a trap door into the shop, she's powerless to do anything about it. Deciding to turn the situation to her advantage, she butchers the body and uses the meat to fill her pies. A symbiotic relationship is formed, in which Mr Todd keeps the clothes and valuables of his victims, while Mrs Lovett builds a reputation for making the tastiest pies in the area. But with so many gentlemen disappearing, how long can the situation endure?

An eerie and evocative Victorian-set horror thriller about how a well-meaning butcher’s daughter from London’s Whitechapel grew up to become the baker who stuffed her pies with the flesh of Sweeney Todd’s victims. Perfect for fans of Clare Whitfield, Jess Kidd and Ambrose Parry.

The Butcher's Daughter

'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

<div>The next must-read page-turner from Sunday Times bestselling author Richard Madeley.

 A man's body is discovered in the centre of an ancient Roman amphitheatre, a relic from the Imperial past that still stands outside modern-day Cirencester. The man has been crucified, Roman-style, inverted on a rough wooden cross in the shape of an X.
 
 As mystified police launch their investigation and a sensationalised media theirs, one thing quickly becomes apparent: the dead man was a dedicated internet troll, targeting young women with vile abuse and threats. Was his gruesome murder some form of revenge... or will he be merely the first to be executed in this manner?
 
 Rome has returned to Albion - and it is demanding a blood ransom... 
 
Praise for Richard Madeley:

 'An authentic and exciting story. The perfect summer read' CLARE MACKINTOSH
 'Original, unexpected and thrilling' JOJO MOYES
 'Immaculate storytelling, pacey and beautifully written' SADIE JONES
 'An unsettlingly tense treat' HEAT

The Stranger Times

The Stranger Times won the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Audio! Some comebacks can be murder . . . Stella is enjoying life as an almost student, or at least she is until a man falls from the sky right in front of her, leaving a big old hole in the pavement for Manchester Council to fill. The obvious question of how he ended up in the sky in the first place has no obvious answers, which is where The Stranger Times come in. This isn't just the hunt for another story though. Dark powers think Stella might have been involved and the only way she and the team can prove her innocence is to find out what the hell is really going on. What have dodgy gear, disturbed graves and a decommissioned rock star got to do with all this? Vincent Banecroft has problems of his own in the form of a tall, dark but-definitely-not-handsome man dressed like a one-man funeral who has been sent to make the paper's editor atone for his sins. Once he finds out exactly what that entails, Banecroft is not keen. Being banished to a Hellscape for all eternity looks like being no fun at all, not least because he has that pale Irish skin that burns really easily . . . All that plus territorial ghouls, homicidal felines, eternal (and seemingly unstoppable) gnomes and a celebrity 'Who's Who' that'd put a royal wedding to shame, and you're looking at a wild few days for The Stranger Times. Relight My Fire is the fourth book in the acclaimed and brilliantly funny Stranger Times series.
