DVĚ SESTRY-DVOJČATA, JEDNA PRESTIŽNÍ ŠKOLA... A VRAŽDA Dvě sestry, Rose a Bel Enrightovy, se zapíší na prestižní internátní školu Odell v Nové Anglii, což by mohla být nejlepší událost jejich dosavadního života. Každá ze sester – ačkoli jsou dvojčata – je ale úplně jiná a škola mezi nimi vyvolá naprosto nečekanou rivalitu. Odell má totiž i své temné stránky: děti z bohatých rodin, které jsou ponechány bez kontroly a bez pravidel; tradice a rituály, jejichž následky jsou vážnější, než by se na první pohled mohlo zdát; touhy a utajená přání, která nemohou vést k ničemu jinému než k tragédii. Sarah Donovanová je manželkou ambiciózního učitele a také pro ni by se Odell mohl stát tím nejlepším, co její rodinu potkalo. Jak dobře ale zná svého manžela? Je to skutečně milující otec nebo jen mazaný lhář? A když jedné temné noci dojde k vraždě, kdo je vinen, kdo zná pravdu, a kdo v tom byl zapletený od samého začátku? Byla to jedna tichá dívka? Protože vrahem nemusí být vždycky ten, od koho byste to nejvíc čekali...

Byla to tichá dívka

TŘI NEROZLUČNÉ PŘÍTELKYNĚ, JEDNO TAJEMSTVÍ... A VRAŽDA Kate, Aubrey a Jenny se seznámily na vysoké škole a brzy se z nich staly nerozlučné kamarádky, ačkoli byste jen těžko hledali tři odlišnější ženy. Kate byla krásná, divoká a bohatá. Aubrey pocházela z chudé neúplné rodiny a ze všeho nejvíc chtěla uniknout vlastní minulosti. A Jenny byla nebojácná, ambiciózní a cílevědomá. Přesto se spřátelily a přísahaly si, že je nic nerozdělí. O dvacet let později ale jedna z nich stojí na okraji mostu a někdo ji nutí, aby z něj skočila. Jak se to mohlo stát? Strhující román Michele Campbell sleduje historii jednoho neobvyklého přátelství, ve kterém se snoubí láska s nenávistí. Mohou takto intenzivní city vést až k vraždě? A budou všichni jako obvykle předpokládat, že za zločinem stojí manžel?

Vždycky je to manžel

JEDNA ŽIJE, DRUHÁ JE MRTVÁ. BYLA TO SEBEVRAŽDA... NEBO VRAŽDA? Před mnoha lety zlomil Connor Ford Tabithě Girardové srdce. On byl pohledný vysokoškolák, ona chudé děvče z maloměsta. Jejich vztah měl být jen letním románkem, ale pro Tabithu znamenal všechno. O několik let později se Connor vrací do Tabithina života. Starší, bohatší a zoufale nešťastný. Oženil se pro peníze a jeho neurotická manželka Nina vládne domácnosti pevnou rukou. Nemiluje ji. Nikdy ji nemiloval. Jeho jedinou láskou byla Tabitha. Poté, co Nina spáchá sebevraždu, je Connor konečně volný a může následovat své srdce, které vždycky patřilo Tabithě. Nastěhují se do Ninina honosného sídla a užívají si pohádkový konec romance, jež začala před mnoha lety. Jenže pak Tabitha objeví deník Connorovy první ženy. „Kdybych nečekaně zemřela, může za mou smrt Connor. Connor a... ona.“ Kdo je Connor Ford? Proč se oženil s Ninou? A je Tabitha jeho opravdová láska nebo jen pohodlný obětní beránek, na něhož může svalit podezření z Nininy smrti? Tabitha začíná odhalovat temné pozlátko života, na který nebyla vůbec připravená, a postupně zjišťuje, že to, co zabilo Ninu, by mohlo stát život i ji...
