Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 1.7 MB
Overview: Andrew French is a man of no wealth and little taste. He lives amongst faded seaside glamour on the North East coast of England. He likes gin and cats but not together, new music and old movies, curry and ice cream. Slow bike rides and long walks to the pub are his usual exercise, as well as flicking through the pages of good books and the memoirs of bad people.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
1. Don’t Fear The Reaper
Astrid Snow is a woman of mass distraction.
Astrid was used to people screaming. Like listening to your favourite Bowie song or a snippet of religious chanting, it existed at the back of her head, regardless of where she was. The rhythm would twist and turn, the instrumental howls occasionally dimming for the vocals or tortured words begging for release. She remembered one particular shriek resembling the guitar part in Ziggy Stardust. It was a soothing sound that allowed her to focus as eyes widened and blood dripped to the floor.
After a trip across Europe, Astrid is accused of murdering five of her colleagues from the British intelligence organisation hidden from the public. Now her niece is in the sights of the killer. To save both their lives she has to escape from the Agency that imprisoned her.
2. The Killing Moon
‘Are you a good woman, Ms Snow?’
A deep curve on Astrid’s lips made the world stop around her. ‘Not very.’
The beer chilled her throat, the taste reminding Astrid of the time she threw up over the neighbour’s cat. Then she smiled at her companion.
They appeared to be a loving couple, the way they held hands as the candle flickered next to them. But they were the opposite of in love. The sparkle in his face wasn’t because of desire but concentration to stop him from screaming. She’d already damaged one of his fingers as she squeezed again.
Astrid Snow is in America to retrieve a child from the rich father who kidnapped her. A seemingly straightforward rescue from New York leads her into small-town USA and the disappearance of a teenager, a girl whose political activism appears to have upset several people, including the local senator.
Astrid has to reach into the dark underbelly of America to discover what happened to the girl who reminds her so much of herself while dealing with the consequences of a sister who hates her.
3. Lost in America
The stare on his face was so hard you could sharpen knives on it. His voice was as thin as the rest of him and seesawed up and down like an out-of-tune violin.
‘We had enough to hold you for the Cruz murders, with the witnesses, fingerprints at the scene and your passport found on Caitlin with your blood on it. Yet, we were told to let you go. That instruction came from the highest office in the country. So I did a little digging on you.’
Astrid grinned. ‘I hope you had a big spade.’
Astrid wakes up in an American jail accused of a triple homicide. She has little memory of the night but knows she’s not a killer – not of the innocent.
Calling in a favour from her former boss at the Agency, the British intelligence organisation hidden from the public, Astrid is released and ready to head home to England until guilt about the murders forces her to stay in the small US town. It’s a decision she’s about to regret as the bodies pile up, and she discovers some locals are still fighting a war against the British.
