Lisa Jewell and Adele Parks in conversation - Canterbury

Jewell's Breaking the Dark 'cinematic and thrilling.' Meet Jessica Jones: a private investigator and retired super hero based out of Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, who goes from job to job as a hard living, rough talking, loner. Investigating the case of a pair of twins who have undergone a mysterious transformation leads Jones to a run-down farmhouse in Essex and the reader into a wonderfully atmospheric tale with Jewell's trademark subtle characterisation and plot twists.
In Parks' First Wife's Shadow smart, wealthy, grounded Emma has worked hard for her success. When she meets Matthew, a kind, handsome widower, he seems like the icing on the cake.

Initially, Emma’s friends are delighted, but as the relationship quickly develops, they worry Emma could be being exploited. She’s a rich woman, after all. 'A gripping read'- Richard Osman 'Had me gasping at the twist' - Ian Rankin
