After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin, Noami Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside, unsure what she will find.

Noami is an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, more suited to cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough, smart, and not afraid: not of her cousin’s new English husband, a stranger who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems fascinated by Noami; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noami’s dreams with visions of blood and doom.

Noami’s only ally in this inhospitable place is the family’s youngest son. But he too may be hiding something dark. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place, as Noami discovers when she begins to unearth stories of violence and madness.*

In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the water calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage int eh picturesque North Sea.

At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo hears what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers and crew members remain accounted for, and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong…*

When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away in Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. They both know this weekend will make or break their relationship, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after. *
