A Fortnight by the Sea

 The sun has risen but successful young stockbroker Gavin Elliot is still in bed.

 He lies on his side, his pyjama top hitched up to reveal his back- and a knife sticking out from between his shoulder-blades.

Cold Light of Day

A Kelsey and Lambert novel. Has Chief Inspector Kelsey meet his match at last?

 Anna Conway, rising twenty, had much to live for: not least a devoted young husband who put her welfare before all else. Yet she suffered from depression and, just before leaving on a restorative cruise, she was found dead in her bath.

 Chief Inspector Kelsey and Sergeant Lambert at first accepted Anna's death as suicide, and the more they learned of her unloved childhood, the more understandable suicide became. So it was with shock that when Anna married David she was already the widow of an elderly man, whose death was not without unusual features.

 But when they learned that David Conway too had been a widower, his first wife having also committed suicide, Kelsey developed a gut feeling that this grief-stricken widower was a cold-blooded murderer. Yes there was testimony on all sides to his devotion to Anna, his alibi was unimpeachable and his motive for murder non-existent.

 Doggedly the Chief Inspector set out to prove David's guilt. But each time he unearthed a suspicious circumstance, David came up with an innocent explanation.

 Orphaned at a young age, Jane Eyre is foisted upon unfriendly relations, sent to school to suffer illness, injustice and privation, before striking out on her own to earn her living as a governess.

 With its gothic atmosphere and first-person narrative, Charlotte Brontë's bildungsroman has captivated readers since its first appearance in 1847.

Jane Eyre - GCSE 9-1 set text student edition

A standalone mystery from the author of the Kelsey and Lambert novels.

 A number of people stood to benefit from Harry Mallinson's death and Henry Mallinson was old and sick and very rich.

 His estranged elder son needed money for his business. His younger son did not want to see his father's will changed. His pretty daughter-in-law needed money to lay of ghost from her past to rest. His godson was behind with instalments on a motorcycle. His nurse needed a few thousand to buy a son a small-holding and his secretary a few hundred to buy herself expensive clothes.

 So when Henry Mallinson died - not from natural causes - there was no lack of suspects for the police.

Harry's granddaughter Jill, obsessed with the glamour of her customers at the department store where she works, may not have been pleased when Harry refused to lend her money.
