British writer GILLY MACMILLAN is the author of six thrillers, including the international sensations “The Nanny” and “What She Knew.”  

Macmillan’s latest “The Manor House” tells a terrifying story of what can happen after all your dreams come true. Childhood sweethearts Nicole and Tom are a normal, loving couple—until a massive lottery win changes their lives overnight. Soon they’ve moved into a custom-built state-of-the-art Glass Barn on the stunning grounds of Lancaut Manor in Gloucestershire. They have fancy cars, expensive hobbies, and an exclusive lifestyle they never could have imagined. But this dream world quickly turns into a nightmare when Tom is found dead in the swimming pool. Was Tom’s death a tragic accident, or was it something worse? Big money can bring big problems and big threats. And is Nicole's life in danger as well?

Chicago-based writer LORI RADER-DAY is the Edgar Award–nominated and Anthony, Agatha, and Mary Higgins Clark Award–winning author of “Death at Greenway” and “Under a Dark Sky.” 

Rader-Day’s latest, “The Death of Us,” is chilling novel about betrayal and family secrets in a small town. One rainy night, a knock at the door changed Liss Kehoe’s life forever. On that night, Ashley Hay stood on Liss’s front porch and handed over her brand-new baby Callan. She was never seen or heard from again. 15 years later Ashley’s car has been found… in the quarry pond on Kehoe property. But the discovery of the car dredges up more questions than answers. What really happened on the night of Ashley’s disappearance? Was it a tragic accident, or something far more sinister? Someone in town knows the truth, and they’ll go to great lengths to keep it quiet.
