Requirements: ePUB Reader | 1.04 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Born in 1970, Gay Longworth trained as an oil trader after graduating from university. It was during this time that the idea for her first novel, Bimba, came to her. Eventually she took courage, left the job, and moved to Cornwall to write. Bimba was published in 1998, and her second novel, Wicked Peace, came out two years later. During that time Gay had too many jobs to mention, though donning fishnets for Club Med was probably a low point. Thankfully she is now a full-time writer. Dead Alone is the first in a series of Jessie Driver novels, and she is currently working on the second. Gay lives in London with her husband, theatre producer Adam Spiegel, and their daughter.
Genre: Mystery/Thriller
#01 – Dead Alone: A headless skeleton washed up on the banks of the Thames turns out to be a far from routine case for up-and-coming, motorcycle-riding, no-nonsense Detective Inspector Jessie Driver, sent out to the scene on a wild-goose chase by a mean-spirited colleague trying to waste her time. Trouble is, it’s not just a set of bones spat out by the river after years of decomposing—they’ve been dipped in acid. And those jellyfish found inside the ribcage aren’t jellyfish at all—they’re silicone breast implants. Some clever work proves the remains belong to Verity Shore, B-movie actress and wife of rock star P. J. Dean. Then there’s another z-list celebrity death. But is someone trying to cover up a murder with an actual motive, or is a celebrity serial killer on the loose? Jessie must solve the high-profile case to get jealous colleagues and a watchful superior off her back, but when she begins to fall for suspect number one, her credibility is in jeopardy, not to mention her safety. Can she regain her objectivity before she loses her life?
#02 – The Unquiet Dead: Years ago, the historical Marshall Street Baths in the heart of Soho were full of kids taking swimming lessons and playing in the water. Today they’re crowded with addicts, homeless people and, DI Jessie Driver’s new boss thinks, a teenage runaway they’re trying to track. But when CID searches the decaying building, they don’t find Anna Maria Klein–but they do find a man’s mummified body buried in the ground in the rat-infested basement. Who was he? How long has he been there? And what happened to him? Jessie, on the outs with her by-the-book new boss, tackles this mystery from the bowels of the Marshall Street Baths instead of the higher-profile runaway case. She’s got the eccentric caretaker of the building to help her, but he seems fixated on the day a young boy drowned at the baths, many years ago. Plus, a local priest seems intent on giving his opinions, which are decidedly more otherworldly than Jessie would like. All in all, The Unquiet Dead is a fresh and pulse-pounding second novel in this streetwise procedural series from up-and-coming suspense talent Gay Longworth.
