We have been flooded with requests to read The Surgeon's House on NetGalley. Here are some of our favourite reviews.

The Surgeon's House by @jodycooksleyauthor is out 22nd May.

Get your copy for 50% off from our website via the link in our bio.

London, 1883.

The brutal murder of Rose Parmiter seems, at first glance, to be a random and senseless act. Rose was the beloved cook at Evergreen House, a place of refuge for women and children, a place from which they can start their lives afresh. Proprietor Rebecca Harris is profoundly shocked by the death of her dear friend and alarmed at the mysterious events which begin to unfold shortly afterwards. Could the past be casting a shadow on the present? The malign legacy of the Everley family who called Evergreen home, cannot be ignored.

After two further deaths it becomes clear there is an evil presence infecting their sanctuary, and Rebecca must draw out the poison of the past so the Evergreen residents can finally make peace with the darkness in their lives.

To celebrate the nineteenth instalment in Mary Rus

To celebrate the nineteenth instalment in Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes's adventures, Knave of Diamonds by @laurierking, we have a treat for fans of the series: an exclusive short story 'Two Kids on a Grift'.

All you have to do to get a copy emailed to you is submit proof of preorder, whether for the hardback or ebook, via the form in our bio.

Excludes the US and Canada. Closes 9th June.

When Mary Russell was a child, she adored her Uncle Jake, the black sheep of the family. But she hasn’t heard from him in many years, until her ne’er-do-well relative presents himself at her door with an abundance of problems for his clever niece to deal with. Not the least of which is the reason the family rejected him in the first place: his involvement in the infamous disappearance of the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle in 1907.

It was a theft that shook a government, enraged King Edward VII and threatened the establishment. Juggling conflicting loyalties and international secrets, Russell is entangled in the web of a case that not even the great Sherlock Holmes could solve.

Next in the Blind Detective series... Murder in Oxford by @christina.koning

Coming 22nd May. Pre-order your copy from our website via the link in our bio.

1942. When Frederick Rowlands arrives in the city in answer to an urgent summons, he finds that the effects of war have not bypassed Oxford, which feels more like a military camp than a university town. His old friend and fellow war veteran, Major Ian Fraser, has been told that there is a spy at large in the university and at nearby Blenheim Palace, the heart of British Intelligence. Rowlands swiftly becomes embroiled in matters involving MI5 and enemy agents, but not before a vicious killer strikes.

Now the race is on to find the murderer before he — or she — can kill again, and to prevent vital plans for a covert British mission being compromised. For Rowlands, the stakes could not be higher, as a deadly game of cat and mouse plays out …

The Blitz Detective by Mike Hollow is the first in the gripping wartime mystery series and is our May eBook of the Month - just 99p right now.

Get your copy via the link in our bio.

Saturday 7th September, 1940. The sun is shining, and in the midst of the good weather Londoners could be mistaken for forgetting their country was at war – until the familiar wail of the air-raid sirens heralds an enemy attack. The Blitz has started, and normal life has abruptly ended – but crime has not.
That night a man’s body is discovered in an unmarked van in the back streets of West Ham. When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to the scene, he recognises the victim: local Justice of the Peace, Charles Villiers. The death looks suspicious, but then a German bomb obliterates all evidence. War or no war, murder is still murder, and it’s Jago’s job to find the truth.
