Exclusive giveaway for newsletter subscribers

We have another exclusive giveaway for BritCrime newsletter subscribers.

We will choose one winner at random to receive a print copy of Cass Green's new thriller, The Woman Next Door, at the end of September.

Two suburban women. Two dark secrets. The almost perfect murder.

Everybody needs good neighbours…

Melissa and Hester have lived next door to each other for years. When Melissa’s daughter was younger, Hester was almost like a grandmother to her. But recently they haven’t been so close.

Hester has plans to change all that. It’s obvious to her that despite Melissa’s outwardly glamorous and successful life, she needs Hester’s help.

But taking help from Hester might not be such a good idea for a woman with as many secrets as Melissa…

New Release: BONE BY BONE by @SanjidaKay

 Bone by Bone by Sanjida Kay
Longlisted for the Crime Writer’s Association Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award 2016. Out now in paperback.

Laura is making a fresh start. Recently divorced and relocated to Bristol, she’s carving a new life for herself and her nine-year-old daughter, Autumn. But things aren’t going as well as she’d hoped. Autumn’s sweet nature and artistic bent are making her a target for bullies.

When Autumn fails to return home from school one day Laura goes looking for her and finds a crowd of older children taunting her little girl. In the heat of the moment, Laura is overcome with rage and makes one terrible mistake. A mistake that will have devastating consequences for her and her daughter …

A worrying situation quickly escalates into a nightmare … The ending had me holding my breath.
CL Taylor

Bone by Bone is a ‘breakout debut’ and ‘a title you won’t want to miss
