Martha’s Tide is a slow-burn psychological thriller that blends domestic suspense with coastal gothic. It explores the lies people tell to maintain their relationships, the danger of ignoring intuition, and the way physical spaces can hold emotional and literal remnants of the past. As Martha uncovers the truth beneath her home, she begins to question not only her marriage but also her own sanity—and whether the woman who disappeared before her is closer than she thinks.
Set in a town where nightlife is everything, this novel pulls readers into the messy, electric, and painfully honest reality of early‑twenties friendships. Every weekend, seven friends gather under the neon lights, performing the kind of closeness everyone else envies. But when the music stops and the lights come up, the cracks begin to show.
Behind the laughter and rituals lie quiet betrayals, hidden jealousy, and moments no one was meant to witness. As their bonds fray, each of them is forced to confront who they really are — not the version they present on dance floors and in group photos, but the truth they’ve been avoiding.
Raw, intimate, and sharply observed, this is a story about identity, loyalty, and the secrets that thrive in the dark. Perfect for readers who love character‑driven drama, complicated friendships, and the emotional chaos of growing up.
A Bunch of Daisies is a crime thriller centred on Daisy Carroway, whose best friend Genna Davies apparently vanishes beside a canal, leaving behind her bag and phone. When the police dismiss the case as a voluntary disappearance or drowning, Daisy refuses to accept their explanation and begins investigating herself.
Her search uncovers evidence that Genna had discovered a money-laundering operation involving their law firm, senior solicitor Wallace Croft, and Genna’s own mother, Hazel. A corrupt detective, Fleming, helps suppress the truth, while a wine-red car repeatedly appears as Daisy is followed and threatened. With help from Sally and Marcus, Daisy finds diaries, financial records, recordings and a hidden USB drive linking the conspirators to offshore accounts and violence.
The central twist is that Genna is alive: she staged her disappearance to escape the criminals and protect the evidence. Daisy reunites with her in Manchester, but their pursuers close in. As witnesses die and the police prepare to frame Daisy, she and her allies must preserve the evidence, expose the conspiracy and survive long enough to bring the truth into the open.
At heart, the plot is about friendship, persistence and ordinary courage confronting institutional corruption and carefully maintained lies.
