False Diamond
The fake diamond in Dilys Holland’s engagement ring implies that all is not well in her marriage, and the Holland family matriarch, Sybil, calls on Bea Abbot for help. Bea soon discovers that Dilys and her little girl live in fear of her abusive husband, a man called Benton with whom Bea has already clashed.
Benton wants Bea to rescue the ailing fortunes of his company, part of the Holland empire, and has no scruples about trying violence on her too when she turns him down. To make matters worse, Bea’s Member of Parliament son has tied both his fortune and his marriage to Benton’s future and is desperate for Bea to rescue him. Then Dilys tries to commit suicide . . . or does she?
Final Act
Sam Jackson is not a man who suffers fools – or anyone else – gladly. A successful British television producer who fancies himself as a Hollywood mogul, he makes enemies easily, and delights in the fact.
It is no great surprise that such a man should meet a violent death. Detective Chief Superintendent Lambert and Detective Sergeant Hook deduce that the person who killed him is almost certainly to be found among the company of actors who are shooting a series of detective mysteries in rural Herefordshire. But these are people who make a living by acting out other people’s fictions, people more at home with make-believe than real life – and the two detectives find interrogating them a difficult business. How can Lambert and Hook fight their way to the truth when faced with a cast of practised deceivers?
Done to Death
Barry Stromstein has a serious problem. If he can’t come up with a concept for a new TV antiques show asap, his terrifying boss – TV sensation Lenore Parks – will fire him, and his perfect life will be over. But when he talks to antiques columnist Lil Campbell, he unexpectedly hits pay dirt. Her partner, Ada Strauss, not only suggests the perfect hook for the show, but is the perfect woman to host it.
Ada’s elated, but production of The Final Reckoning seems blighted before it’s even begun when, shockingly, Leonore dies. But Barry seems strangely determined to continue, and as Lenore’s children – the unsettling Rachel and her beloved older brother Richard – become involved, the pilot episode becomes increasingly ghoulish in tone.
Ada’s enjoying herself – really, she is – but as she and Lil are drawn deeper into the lives and affairs of the Parks, they begin to suspect that there are dark, twisted secrets at the heart of the family, and very real danger for them all . . .
