They said they’d never let a man get in the way of their friendship... Laura and Dee haven’t spoken since the day they buried a body together. It was supposed to be the best summer of their lives. A break from university, from parents, from wasting their time on Irish boys with farmer’s tans. They’d imagined flirting with Ryan Phillippe on a New York rooftop. Instead, with summer jobs waitressing at a country club on Long Island, pickings are slim. Mikey is a bully. Marco is off limits. Jose is angry. Mr Haight is a sleaze. Josh is too keen. And Other Josh… he’s something else entirely. It’s a miracle only one of them ends up dead. Dee is pretty sure she didn’t mean to kill him. Laura, to her credit, never asked. Not until she sends an email, out of the blue, more than twenty years later. It’s finally time to mend the biggest heartbreak of that summer; Laura wants her best friend back. A hilarious and heartfelt story about friendship, young women and bad men. Sarah Breen and Emer McLysaght bring their trademark Aisling humour in this completely new direction. Noughties nostalgia and a dead body, it’s the novel you didn’t know you needed. Ideal for Readers Who… Loved the Aisling series — Our Deadly Summer is McLysaght and Breen's first novel outside the Aisling universe, and while the tone is darker and the setting is New York rather than Ballygobbard, the warmth, wit, and fierce female friendship that made Aisling a national treasure are entirely intact. Enjoy darkly comic Irish fiction with real emotional stakes — this isn't a cosy mystery. It's funny in the way that only Irish writers can be funny about serious things: sharply, affectionately, and with a body count. Feel a complicated nostalgia for the early noughties — dial-up internet, flip phones, impossibly low-cut jeans, and the particular madness of an Irish J1 summer in America. If you wore a velour tracksuit unironically, this book is for you. Love Marian Keyes, Holly Bourne, or Monica Heisey — fans of Really Good, Actually and So Happy for You will find the same blend of comedy and emotional honesty here, grounded in the specific texture of Irish women's lives. Are drawn to stories where female friendship is the beating heart — Laura and Dee's relationship is the real mystery at the centre of the novel. How two best friends end up standing over a body together, and what that does to them, is the story Our Deadly Summer is actually telling. Want a thriller that moves — set across Dublin, Long Island, and New York, with a plot that opens on a buried body and never fully lets you breathe, this is the rare book that earns its "unputdownable" without having to say it on the cover.

The players call it the Game, and its aim is simple: to abduct and kill a stranger without getting caught. They're very good at it. They've been playing it for a long time. And they can keep playing so long as everyone stick to the rules: No Killing Close to Home and No Killing Outside the Game. But those rules have been broken.

Now Parker will be forced to confront a band of men without morality and without loyalty, not even to one another, in a place where the very darkness is alive. Because something has emerged from the shadows, something very bad. And it wants revenge. Ideal for readers who: Follow Charlie Parker and want another dark Maine investigation with a supernatural edge. Enjoy crime fiction built around ritualised murder, broken rules and moral rot. Like private investigators facing villains who feel almost mythic in their cruelty. Appreciate thrillers where darkness is both literal atmosphere and spiritual threat.

Sworn to protect a scenic island meant to be far from the evils of the mainland, Detective Sergeant Stilwell can feel danger closing in. Detective Sergeant Stilwell knows that his posting on Catalina Island is no paradise, but to most residents, it seems blissfully separated-by twenty-two miles of ocean-from the troubles of Los Angeles County. But now a threat is coming to his safe haven. Acting on a tip from a confidential informant, Stilwell and his deputies watch a plane land in the middle of the night at the Airport in the Sky, a remote airstrip in the mountains. A duffel bag of drugs is dropped and the deputies move in, but things quickly go sideways. While Stilwell chases the fleeing pickup man into the mountainside brush, shots are fired on the runway and the plane flies off. An internal inquiry follows, putting Stilwell on the bench until he is cleared of responsibility for the disastrous operation. But he is determined to find out who brought deadly violence to his island, and begins his own secret investigation into the drug deal gone wrong. While under orders to remain in the sheriff's substation, he finds in the lost and found a valuable backpack that was never claimed. He traces it to a woman who disappeared while hiking on the island four years ago. But then why was the pack only turned in two months back? Now thoroughly intrigued, he follows the mystery all the way to the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit and Detective Renée Ballard. Stilwell and Ballard work the case from both sides of the channel, and soon realize they are on the trail of a criminal who revels in taunting the authorities. Meanwhile, frustrated at being shut out of an investigation on his own island, Stilwell risks his already shaky standing in the department to pursue a case whose reach is wider than he ever imagine. Ideal for readers who: Respond to police thrillers where paradise is only a thin cover over violence. Need Catalina Island’s isolation to tighten the drug-drop and cold-case pressure. Trust Michael Connelly for procedural detail, momentum and moral strain. Follow detectives pushed beyond the safe-haven myth.
