Sarah Rayner Bücher

Was wir alleine nicht schaffen. Jeden Tag pendeln Karen, Anna und Lou von Brighton nach London. An diesem Morgen sitzt auch Karens Mann Simon mit im Zug. Mitten im Gespräch bricht er plötzlich zusammen. Herzinfarkt. Hilflos muss Karen mit ansehen, wie die Sanitäter kommen: Sie können nichts mehr für Simon tun. Karen steht unter Schock. Ihr Mann war erst fünfzig. Warum wurde er so plötzlich aus dem Leben gerissen? Die Kinder sind doch noch so klein. Nur gut, dass sie Anna hat, ihre beste Freundin. Aber auch sie und Lou sind von dem tragischen Ereignis erschüttert. Auch ihr Leben wird nicht mehr dasselbe sein. Das Schicksal hat die drei Frauen zusammengeführt – kann ihre Freundschaft die Wunden heilen?

Beste Freundinnen kann nichts auseinander bringen. Oder etwa doch? Als Orianna ihre langjährige Kollegin Ivy auf der Karriereleiter überholt, schwört diese Rache. Geschickt fädelt sie eine heimtückische Intrige ein, spinnt ein dichtes Netz aus Lügen und Gerüchten. Doch Ivy hat selbst so einiges zu verbergen. Und Orianna wartet bereits auf den richtigen Moment? Dieses Buch enthält: ein Voodoo-Rache-Set für Anfängerinnen.

Researcher Phineas Fox has agreed to help track down his neighbour's cousin, who has disappeared without trace, leaving a single clue to her whereabouts: an obscure 1940s portrait of an alleged murderess. What exactly happened back in 1941 - and what is the connection with Arabella's disappearance?

Revenge has never been such fun How would you feel if your best friend at work betrayed you? Was secretly having an affair with an influential colleague? Won a coveted promotion, then teamed you up with a mere junior, leaving you feeling completely demoted? What would you do? For Ivy there's no choice. The only person she has ever trusted, Orianna, has blown it big time. So there's only one way forward: revenge. Ivy's campaign is brilliant, if horribly destructive, and she's determined to get even with the woman who has dared to cross her. But is Ivy really the innocent party? Or is she hiding secrets of her own?

Phineas Fox must research the infamous violinist Roman Volf for a documentary. Hanged for his part in assassinating Tsar Alexander II in 1881, Volf was a notorious criminal. On uncovering evidence showing Volf could not have been involved in the murder, Phin's investigations lead him to Ireland - and a series of interlocking mysteries.

Having undertaken an assignment at Cresacre Abbey School, researcher Phineas Fox discovers that curious legends about the school's past still linger, including the fate of a group of nuns who disappeared 200 years before. What happened to them? And who is the mysterious Ginevra, the shadowy figure whose true identity has never been known?
