"You bought her house. She wouldn’t leave. Now she’s dead.
Moving day…
For single mum Emma, settlement on the Haven St home in posh Yorkwood for her and her daughter should be a triumph. She has the keys, the sold sign is up and all her belongings are in her car ready to move in, but there is a problem – the seller refuses to leave.
Emma, however, has nowhere else to go.
As assistant to the real-estate agent in charge of the sale, Rhiannon, is tasked with resolving the stand-off – and doing so quickly, if she wants to remain employed. No one can afford this sale to fall through.
Home sweet home…
Four weeks later, Emma has just put her daughter down for a nap when there’s a knock at the door. The seller is missing and the police have questions.
Someone on Haven St has been talking about what they saw that day, and Emma’s dream home is about to become her worst nightmare.
Perfect for fans of destination psychological thrillers like those of Nikki Smith, Sarah Goodwin and Rachel Wolf.

A REMOTE ISLAND
It’s been eighteen years since the accidental explosion that killed The Cedrics Band lead singer Jonny Rake, and a special documentary is bringing the rest of the band back to play together for the first time. With Jonny’s daughter, Monet, stepping into her father’s role, and a private island secured as the perfect reunion backdrop, it’s set to be a special occasion.
A REUNION CONCERT
But everyone remembers what happened on that fatal night differently, and as questions are asked about the band’s rise and sudden tragic fall, not everyone likes the answers. Old wounds reopen and tempers flare… Then a body is found.
A KILLER ON STAGE
They’re trapped on the island together until help arrives, but that might be too late. Because Jonny’s death wasn’t an accident, and someone wants revenge.
