Lähedus, mis teeb valu. Teine raamat
Vahel peab armastus enne tapma, kui saab surra
Kolme aasta eest juhtus Naomi Jenkinsiga midagi kohutavat – nii kohutavat, et ta ei rääkinud sellest mitte ühelegi hingele.
Nüüd on Naomil teine saladus, see on seotud tema kallima, õnnetus abielus Robert Haworthiga. Kui Robert kaob, on Naomi kindel, et temaga on juhtunud midagi halba. Kuid politsei pole selles sama veendunud. Liiatigi kinnitab Roberti abikaasa, et mees ei ole kadunud.
Naomi on meeleheitel. Kui tal ei õnnestu politseinikke veenda, et Roberti elu on ohus, ehk õnnestub tal siis neid veenda selles, et Robert kujutab endast ohtu teistele. Siis peab politsei hakkama Robertit otsima, ja kiiresti.
Naomi oskab psühhopaadi tegevust väga detailselt kirjeldada. Selleks pruugib tal kaevuda üksnes omaenda keerulisse minevikku…
Kingfisher Hilli mõrvad
Maailma nupukaim detektiiv, Agatha Christie romaanide „Mõrv Idaekspressis” ja „Surm Niilusel” legendaarne tegelane Hercule Poirot naaseb Sophie Hannah’ romaanis „Kingfisher Hilli mõrvad”, et lahendada uus põrgulik müsteerium. Poirot sõidab Richard Devonporti palvel elitaarsesse Kingfisher Hilli elurajooni tõestama, et Richardi kihlatu Helen ei tapnud tema venda Franki. Juba bussis hakkab juhtuma ülimalt kummalisi asju, mis tekitavad Poirot’s kahtlusi. Tema hirmud leiavad kinnitust: esimene mõrv ei jää viimaseks ja tal tuleb hakata kahtlusaluseid ükshaaval välistama. Ajal, kui süüdimõistetud Helenit ootab võllas, püüab Poirot ohtrate keerdkäikude kiuste välja selgitada, kes ja miks õigupoolest mõrvas Frank Devonporti, keda kõik armastasid.
