Death of a Village 9. Death of a Poison Pen 10. Death of a Bore Description: Death of a Nag A busman's holiday for Hamish . . . After losing both his promotion and the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish Macbeth decides the best cure for a broken heart is a week's break at the charming coastal village of Skag. When he arrives at the Friendly House B&B,; however, he finds the ambience chilling, the food inedible and his fellow guests less than neighbourly. They include the annoying Miss Gunnery; a family from London; and Bob Harris, who so nags his wife that everyone wants to kill him. And then somebody does. Now it is up to Hamish to act - to dig deep into the past and deliver something more daunting than merely the culprit: justice. Death of a Macho Man Death accompanies a tattooed stranger to a tiny Highland town... Everyone in Lochdubh knows about the Macho Man - a mean bully claiming to be a professional wrestler and part-time explorer. His insults at the pub have caused brawls, while his furtive sneaking around arouses suspicion he is romancing some of the local wives. And when he challenges Hamish Macbeth to a public bout, it triggers an epidemic of betting. Everyone expects Hamish to take a pounding, but no one anticipates a murder instead. And amid all the excitement it's up to level-headed Hamish to track down the heartless killer of the brutal Macho Man . . . Death of a Dentist An untimely death wipes the smile from Hamish's face . . . In Scotland, where thrift and a 'nice set of dentures' are generally admired, Dr Frederick Gilchrist's cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him quite a clientele. However, wiser Highlanders - like Hamish Macbeth - opt to steer clear of this reputed womanizer's all-too-busy hands. Only jaw-throbbing agony drives Hamish to Gilchrist's surgery, but what he finds there is the dentist's dead body - putting several angry husbands in the frame for murder . . . Death of a Scriptwriter Truth is stranger than fiction... Patricia Martyn-Broyd, now in her seventies, has retired to the Highlands. She hasn't written a word in years and her books are out of print. But now a television company is about to film her last detective story, featuring the aristocratic Scottish detective Lady Harriet Vare. Even though the snobbish Miss Martyn-Broyd doesn't care to mix with the locals, she can't help but share her excitement with local policeman Hamish Macbeth. Imagine her horror when Miss Martyn-Broyd discovers that the screenwriter is known for his violent and scurrilous scripts and that Lady Harriet Vare is to be portrayed as a pot-smoking hippy by the scene-stealing trollop Penelope Gates. But a contract is a contract, as Ms Martyn-Broyd quickly learns. And when she is accused of murdering both the scriptwriter and the...

Titles in this set: 1. Between Commitment And Betrayal 2. Between Love And Loathing 3. Between Never And Forever Description: Between Commitment And Betrayal OUR MARRIAGE ISN'T REAL. SO WHY DO OUR KISSES FEEL SO GOOD? Declan Hardy, heartthrob and retired billionaire, is my complete opposite. He's commanding: I'm cooperative. He's loud when I stay quiet. All we have in common is that both our names are on my father's will. He'll inherit an empire - and I'll keep the one thing I hold dear. But there's a catch: I have to marry him - or at least, pretend to. One year of fake marriage. One year of living together. But it's not that simple. Especially when I can't tell if his kisses are fake - and if I'm really still pretending when I kiss him back... There's a fine line between commitment and betrayal... and neither of us knows where it falls. Declan and I would never work for real - or would we? Between Love And Loathing Fake dating my enemy should be easy . . . as long as I don't fall in love with him. Dominic Hardy might have a fancy engineering degree, but he doesn't know a thing about baking. He doesn't even like sugar. So when he inherits my stepfather's resort - with my bakery in the middle of it - neither of us are happy. But then Dominic gives me a proposal I can't refuse. I'll keep my bakery, with one condition: Fake date him for five months. Keep his ex away by pretending we're in love. Stare into his piercing green eyes. Maybe share a kiss. But I loathe him and his filthy mouth. Even when he's using it on me. There's a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I've made the mistake of blurring it. Between Never And Forever My best friend's brother, Dex Hardy, was my downfall - older, forbidden, and completely irresistible. Our relationship was a secret - and he knew it had to stay one. But when Dex betrayed our privacy, I had to leave him - breaking both our hearts. Now, he's back in my life, as the owner of the casino where I work. He's become a cold, ruthless billionaire, and he wants revenge. When he finds out I'm engaged, he offers me a deal. Leave the man I'm with and be with him instead. Or else. Six months of calling Dex my finace... even as he stares at me with hardened eyes. Six months of ignoring his electrifying touches and pretending I don't love him... when I still do. The problem with faking this engagement is I'm starting to believe in forever. And neither of us can afford to.

But that's not all; these books are your ticket out of any reading slump. Whether reading one book or bingeing the entire series, prepare for a thrilling ride that will keep you engaged. Titles in this set: 1. The Housemaid 2. The Housemaid's Secret 3. The Housemaid Is Watching Description: The Housemaid “Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own… Every day I clean the Winchesters’ beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband. I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out… and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of… The Housemaid's Secret “Don’t go in the guest bedroom.” A shadow falls on Douglas Garrick’s face as he touches the door with his fingertips. “My wife… she’s very ill.” As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can’t risk losing this job—not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe… It’s hard to find an employer who doesn’t ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. It’s almost perfect. But I still haven’t met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I’m sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I’m doing laundry. And one day I can’t help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes...
