In the March of 1872, Chapworth Manor burns down under suspicious circumstances. Detective Constable Mortimer is sent to investigate, but as he delves deeper into the mystery, more unanswered questions arise. 

A terrible tragedy that occurred eight years ago seems to be somehow connected to the fire. But how?

Why does Master Chapworth’s beautiful daughter keep sneaking out at night? Why is the young piano tutor so afraid of marmalade? What is the head butler’s real name? And why does the new servant boy keep turning up in the most inappropriate of times?

Not all is as it seems at Chapworth Manor. Will the truth finally be revealed? And what really happened on the night of the fire? One thing’s for sure. Things lost in the flames of revenge can never be brought back…

I slammed the table loudly and groaned out of pain. Not only the pain from the headache I was having right now. But also from the memories flooding my mind as well. I was slowly remembering everything. "I hate you!"I shouted seething from anger as I gritted my teeth to stop myself from attacking him. He was really tempting me and I knew it wouldn't be long before I would attempt to pull his face apart and rip out his throat. "Not more than I hate you Alexander Norman. Trust me." He said emphasising on the name that seemed so foreign to me yet that was my real name. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he seemed to enjoy the internal battle I was having in my head. " So back to my story-" He drawled in an attempt to irritate me before he continued. " Your mother married me because I had her secret and I threatened to ruin her with it if she did not give in to my wishes." "And what exactly was her secret?" I asked. "She killed your father." He responded and glanced at me probably waiting for my reaction at what he just said. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Scandals brew in the air once more.

Take No Notice ✓ by AdultOfTheFuture

[ A COMPLETED 2020 TEEN MYSTERY ] Life can take a turn for the worst when you least expect it, spiralling deeply out of control in mere days. It's hard to see the signs sometimes; it may be personality changes, or even just an odd remark, but if we don't recognise these differences then grave consequences await us. It could be failing an important test, missing a friend's birthday, but sometimes people take it a little too far... A text. A fire. A killer. Who can we really trust in this world? And do we need to look closer to sense great deception? _________________________ Achievements: 🥈Second Place in the EC Awards - Mystery/Thriller Rated Eighty Plus in Shreya's Book Reviews 🥈 Second Place in the Carnation Awards - Mystery/Thriller 🥇 First Place in The Candle Light Awards _________________________ (Cover by @-carawrites) (Images found from the internet, credits to Lily Collins and party) All Rights Reserved.

Thrill of the Chase (Hunters & Heartbreakers 1) by atlas_of_wonderland

(✔️) Langdon Wilkes is a reluctant - and somewhat bumbling - hunter. But because his father is the headmaster of the Institute of Paranormal Study and Prevention, just as every Wilkes before him, he hardly has a choice. That is, until he runs into, and keeps running into, Wells Hudson and his sister, Naomi. And following a near-death experience involving a vampire, Langdon can't help but be curious about Wells. Even if he clearly resents him. Wells Hudson is a hunter by circumstance. As the older sibling, and with their father driven raving mad by ghost possession, the responsibility has fallen to him to keep the Hudson family business running while protecting Naomi. And the encounter with Langdon Wilkes doesn't help matters. After all, the hunters like him are the ones that put hunters like Wells out of business. Which means he can't constantly be pulling him out of near-misses. But when Langdon's best friend is captured by vampires and Wells discovers a plot devised by the Institute headmaster himself to control creatures through a strange and obscure blood magic, things get complicated. Especially when both boys discover their feelings for each other growing. And they discover the thrill of the chase.

Queen of Cards (English version) by LizAtana

We were a whole group of friends. And yet, I was feeling so lonely. It was hard to trust the others knowing that one of the players of this deadly game of cards would do anything to kill us... With all the revelations, treasons, and breath-taking clever strategies, would I be up to the task? Warning: this fiction is a thriller, but still contains two/three scenes that may be offensive to young audience. No worries, I will add a warning just before each passage involved. Inspirations: I was highly inspired by the French game The Werewolves of Millers Hollow, itself based on the game Mafia. I also had the idea for this novel while listening to the song "Lily" by Alan Walker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTJbE3sfvlI). To finish, my friends can feel some Danganronpa and La Casa de Papel vibes in the story. I therefore invite all these two series' lovers to read it! Big thanks to Théo and Lilith676 for this amazing cover *-*
