Genuine Deceit by Joy York
When her grandmother is murdered in what at first seems to be a burglary gone wrong, Reagan Asher undertakes her own investigation alongside the police. What starts out as a ‘who done it’, quickly becomes a compelling ‘why done it’ as Asher uncovers decades of deception that has her questioning everything she thought her life to be and endangers not only her own life but that of those closest to her. With well drawn characters, realistic relationships and a touch of romance Genuine Deceit is an absolute nail-biting page turner.
The Unquiet Spirit by Penny Hampson
Kate, an historian, has inherited a beautiful house from her much loved godmother. But the house holds mysteries as well as unexplained cold spots, doors that lock themselves and, on occasions, an unsettling scent of rosemary. In her attempt to unravel the mysteries that surround the house and its former inhabitants, she faces dangers both past and present.
This is a gripping mystery, that builds to an absolute page turner with well-drawn realistic characters and a pleasing touch of humour. Possibly best read in the daylight if you have an active imagination.
