Have you met Inspector David Graham? Graham is a Detective Inspector with London's Metropolitan police force. He's a career police officer, an educated, reserved, thoughtful, some might say, complex man. He has suffered tragedy in his life that serves to exaggerate his more introspective characteristics and, like many of us, has to look his demons in the eye from time to time and make tough choices. This box set contains the first four mysteries in this bestselling series: The Case of the Screaming Beauty: Detective Inspector Graham is still reeling from a tragedy of his own when he is called into investigate a murder at the prestigious Lavender Bed and Breakfast. It has a rich, Tudor atmosphere, an enviously manicured lawn... And a deadly problem. The Case of the Hidden Flame: Inspector David Graham is hoping for peace and quiet when he leaves city life behind for a quaint island village - but a suspicious death soon derails his plans. Will eccentric characters, roiling sea undercurrents, and deceptive coincidences unravel to reveal the secrets of his latest mystery? The Case of the Fallen Hero: As he walks around the imposing Orgueil castle, Graham's peaceful life comes to a shuddering halt when he finds a woman kneeling beside the body of a stricken man. Does the castle hold clues to the puzzle? The Case of the Broken Doll: A missing girl. A broken doll. Dark, deviant secrets. What Inspector finds as he investigates will rock the town, stirring memories long buried and forgotten. There are painful truths to face. Can he uncover what happened? Could the missing schoolgirl still be alive? What Amazon readers are saying: "Character development was superb." "I literally could not put this book down." "Inspector Graham is right up there with some of the icons of British mysteries." "The scenery description, characterization, and fabulous portrayal of the hotel on the hill are all layered into a great English trifle." "These books certainly have the potential to become a PBS series with the likeable character of Inspector Graham and his fellow officers." "DI Graham is wonderful and his old school way of doing things, charming." "I know I have a winner of a book when I toss and turn at night worrying about how the characters are doing." "I really enjoyed the surprise twists at the end." "Just finished it early this morning! What a great story!" "Sweet, emotionally honest, with a lot of backbone in the characters and the writing."

Always the wedding coordinator, Lillie Bauer makes brides' dreams come true, but when it comes to her own love life, she's never the bride. Fifteen years after the mysterious disappearance of her childhood sweetheart, Ted, Lillie --bungee-jumper, book addict, and delightfully offbeat coordinator of “extreme” high-concept weddings--is ready to find love again. As she boldly but reluctantly braves a disastrous dating scene, Lillie is caught between two images of married life-- the rich, lifelong partnership shared by her parents and the troubled marriage of her younger sister, Tacy. Faced with long-buried feelings, fears for Tacy, and concerns about her father’s failing health, Lillie finds strength in an unlikely community of loved ones, including Cristoff, her epileptic, florist business partner; Pleasance, a sassy clothing designer; and her Hungarian Grandma Erzsébet. When Lillie stumbles across a danger that threatens those she loves most, she'll need more than friends and family to get through it– she's going to need a miracle.

Strangers on a London bus unite to help an elderly man find his missed love connection in the heartwarming new novel from the acclaimed author of The Last Chance Library. When Libby Nicholls arrives in London, brokenhearted and with her life in tatters, the first person she meets on the bus is elderly Frank. He tells her about the time in 1962 that he met a girl on the number 88 bus with beautiful red hair just like hers. They made plans for a date at the National Gallery art museum, but Frank lost the bus ticket with her number on it. For the past sixty years, he’s ridden the same bus trying to find her, but with no luck. Libby is inspired to action and, with the help of an unlikely companion, she papers the bus route with posters advertising their search. Libby begins to open her guarded heart to new friendships and a budding romance, as her tightly controlled world expands. But with Frank’s dementia progressing quickly, their chance of finding the girl on the 88 bus is slipping away. More than anything, Libby wants Frank to see his lost love one more time. But their quest also shows Libby just how important it is to embrace her own chances for happiness—before it’s too late—in a beautifully uplifting novel about how a shared common experience among strangers can transform lives in the most marvelous ways.
