'Sublime, elegant and exciting. The House on Rye Lane is beautifully written and entirely gripping. I'm a big fan of Susan Allott' CHRIS WHITAKER 'The lovechild of Sarah Waters' The Paying Guests and Lisa Jewell's The Family Upstairs... confirms Susan Allott as a huge talent' ERIN KELLY They thought they'd found their dream home. They were wrong. 2008. The house Maxine and Seb have just bought was a bargain - a huge Georgian townhouse on the edge of Peckham Rye, it needs a lot of work but Max couldn't resist it. Now they are in, though, nothing seems to be going right - and as the problems mount up, Max starts to doubt her relationship as well as her decision. Is Seb all he seems to be? And why are the neighbours so evasive about the house's previous owner? 1994. Cookie and his parents have been forced by his dad's gambling debts to move into the attic room of a big old house, as lodgers. Tensions run high between them and their elderly landlady, and there's something odd about the place that Cookie can't quite put his finger on... 1843. Horatio built this house for his beloved wife, who then died in mysterious circumstances. After a second death on the premises, both his servants and the locals are starting to talk. Horatio's grief is tinged with shame and guilt. What is he hiding? And will the house ever be free of his legacy? THE HOUSE ON RYE LANE is a tense, taut, beautifully crafted novel about the treachery of secrets and the many ways the past can echo into the present, from the acclaimed author of THE SILENCE.

But the following day, Jessie learns that sometime in the wee hours of the morning both her old friend and Bruno Heilmann were brutally murdered. She's devastated, but with her skill as an actress, access to the wardrobes and resources of a film studio, and a face not yet famous enough to be recognized, Jessie is uniquely positioned todig into the circumstances surrounding these deaths.

Silent Murders

04dcaced-7052-43ee-82fb-312e3633545b-1

In 1917, Jessie Carr, fourteen years old and sole heiress to her family's vast fortune, disappeared without a trace. Now, years later, her uncle Oliver Beckett thinks he's found her: a young actress in a vaudeville playhouse is a dead ringer for his missing niece. But when Oliver confronts the girl, he learns he's wrong. Orphaned young, Leah's been acting since she was a toddler.

Oliver, never one to miss an opportunity, makes a proposition--with his coaching, Leah can impersonate Jessie, claim the fortune, and split it with him. The role of a lifetime, he says. A one-way ticket to Sing Sing, she hears. But when she's let go from her job, Oliver's offer looks a lot more appealing. Leah agrees to the con, but secretly promises herself to try and find out what happened to the real Jessie. There's only one problem: Leah's act won't fool the one person who knows the truth about Jessie's disappearance.

Set against a Prohibition-era backdrop of speakeasies and vaudeville houses, Mary Miley's Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Competition winnerThe Impersonator will delight readers with its elaborate mystery and lively prose.
