The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair

In the summer or 1975 in Somerset, New Hampshire, struggling author Harry Quebert fell in love with fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan. Thirty-three years later, her body is dug up from his yard, along with a manuscript copy of the novel that made him a household name. Quebert is the only suspect. 

Marcus Goldman – Quebert’s most gifted protege – throws off his writer’s block to clear his mentor’s name. Solving the case and penning a new bestseller soon merge into one. As his book begins to take on a life of its own, the nation is gripped by the mystery of ‘The Girl Who Touched the Heart of America’. 

But with Nola, in death as in life, nothing is ever as it seems.

Now a 10-part TV series starring Patrick Dempsey and Ben Schetzer.

Codename Villanelle

She is the perfect assassin.

A Russian orphan, saved from the death penalty for the brutal revenge she took on her gangster father’s killers.

Ruthlessly trained. Given a new life. New names, new faces – whichever fits.

Her paymasters call themselves The Twelve. But she knows nothing of them. Konstantin is the man who saved her, and the one she answers to.

She is Villanelle. Without conscience. Without guilt. Without weakness.

Eve Polastri is the woman who hunts her. MI5, until one error of judgment costs her everything.

Then stopping a ruthless assassin becomes more than her job. It becomes personal.

Praised by The Guardian as a ‘dazzling thriller’ that is ‘mightily entertaining’ and by The New York Times as ‘clever and darkly comic’, Luke Jenning’s gripping thriller is now major TV series, Killing Eve, starring Golden Globe-winning actress, Sandra Oh.

You

When aspiring writer Guinevere Beck strides into the bookstore where Joe works, he is instantly smitten.

But there’s more to Joe than Beck realises and much more to Beck than her perfect facade. And the obsessive relationship quickly spirals into a whirlwind of deadly consequences…

A chilling account of unrelenting, terrifying deceit, Caroline Kepnes’ You is a thriller more perversely clever and dangerously twisted than any YOU have ever read.

Heralded by Sophie Hannah as ‘a brilliant thriller with attitude, guts and true insight into the nature of obsession’ and praised by Stephen King as ‘hypnotic and scary’, You is now a Netflix sensation starring Penn Badgley.
