A young woman probing into the mysterious circumstances of her husband's death receives a message from a medium claiming to be his channel in Mary Higgins Clark's #1 bestselling thriller, Before I Say Good-Bye.
When Nell MacDermott learns that her husband, architect Adam Cauliff, and three of his business associates have died in an explosion of his new cabin cruiser, she is not only devastated but wracked with guilt. The last time she saw Adam, they had a bitter quarrel over her plan to run for the congressional seat long held by her grandfather; she had told him not to come home.
As the investigation into the boat's explosion proceeds, Nell learns that it was not an accident but a bomb. Despite her skepticism, Nell is swayed by her great-aunt Gert, a believer in psychic powers, to see a medium claiming to be Adam's channel.
While trying to unravel the threads of Adam's past and his violent end, Nell consults the medium, who transmits messages to her with instructions from Adam. The story reaches a powerful climax in Nell's final encounter with the medium, in which she learns the truth about the explosion--a truth she can't be allowed to live to tell. Views: 600
*Husbands and wives. Mothers and daughters. The past and the future. *
*Secrets bind them. And secrets can destroy them. *
The author of Pretty Girls returns with an electrifying, emotionally complex thriller that plunges its fascinating protagonist into the darkest depths of a mystery that just might destroy him.
With the discovery of a murder at an abandoned construction site, Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is brought in on a case that becomes much more dangerous when the dead man is identified as an ex-cop.
Studying the body, Sara Linton—the GBI’s newest medical examiner and Will’s lover—realizes that the extensive blood loss didn't belong to the corpse. Sure enough, bloody footprints leading away from the scene indicate there is another victim—a woman—who has vanished . . . and who will die soon if she isn’t found.
Will is already compromised, because the site belongs to the city’s most popular citizen: a wealthy, powerful, and politically connected athlete protected by the world’s most expensive lawyers—a man who’s already gotten away with rape, despite Will’s exhaustive efforts to put him away.
But the worst is yet to come. Evidence soon links Will’s troubled past to the case . . . and the consequences will tear through his life with the force of a tornado, wreaking havoc for Will and everyone around him, including his colleagues, family, friends—and even the suspects he pursues.
Relentlessly suspenseful and furiously paced, peopled with conflicted, fallible characters who leap from the page, The Kept Woman is a seamless blend of twisty police procedural and ingenious psychological thriller -- a searing, unforgettable novel of love, loss, and redemption. Views: 600

"The 6th novel in the Gabriel Wolfe series by Andy Maslen. Yet again, Andy had surpassed himself. Only a 1/4 way through but a real page-turner. Another best seller, which I would 100% recommend to anybody looking for a cracking yarn. Suggestion - read the first four Gabriel Wolfe novels first to really get into the character." Ian Brown "Was really looking forward to the next in the Gabriel Wolfe series and was I disappointed - NO! Once again the plot is complicated and challenging and keeps the reader desperate to read more. Gabriel is a killer with a conscience and his relationships and escapades are extremely believable. If you want a book (or even a series) of books that will provide exciting holiday reading, or any other time, then these are the books for you." Mrs K Miles "This book is incredible. Andy Maslen in an amazing author, draws you in, keeps you there. Read his first four books and can't wait for the fifth. Would highly recommend all four of the books."
