The Boarding House Horror by guywortheyauthor

A much-hated man is found dead, his face twisted into a rictus of horror. Young Inspector Visser can't stand the sight of blood or death, so this case was destined to be a struggle, even before a storm hits. The death occurred in an isolated boarding house on Pluvierstraat, The Hague. Fighting nausea as he examines the body, Visser grudgingly concludes that the death is murder by poison. Which of the motley group of suspects is the killer? The blind woman? The practical jokester? The Italian ex-convict? The English bookie? The scarred railroad engineer? Or could it be the pretty piano teacher? Visser orders them all to stay inside the house as he completes his time-consuming police work. The confinement becomes real when a storm strikes, cutting electricity and telephone. Clues mount and tensions rise, and the murderer among them could kill again. The more clues Visser unravels, the closer he comes to becoming the next victim. ---- I tried to channel Agatha Christie a bit. Okay, more than a bit. This story was longlisted in the 2020 "Open Novella Contest," and won 2nd place in the 2022 Punk Rock Awards, Mystery & Suspense category. Comments welcome!

Autumn Secrets ✓ by hayat_writes

This is the story of six orphans - a woman and five men who have lived together like a family for a long time. Even though they are not related by blood, yet they always have that strong bond with each other. Then one day it happens. The woman dies, shattering the peace and harmony of their house. Not long after, they come across a mysterious yet intriguing stranger who may want to help them. But, are they really trustworthy? Only time will tell. Excerpt : She didn't mount on the bike. Instead, she stood there holding the helmet, "My mother had warned me about strangers." I looked at her in confusion, "Okay so?" "So what's your name?" She asked as if a stranger won't be able to say a fake name at all. Smart little kid. "Levi." She nodded, "Levi, hmm." "Now, can we get going, stranger kid?" "Okay," She said and got on my bike. It seemed like she didn't hear what I had called her. I started the bike and rode off. "Wait, wait, did you call me a kid again?" I chuckled, "Took you long enough." -

Stuck on an island with a hateful murderer, their carefully balanced relationships will be put to the test, as they race with time to find the killer, and most importantly, get off the island alive.

Secrets. Lies. Murder. Betrayal. Guilt. Justice. Part 2 by sadewolu

In this sequel of the Secrets. Lies. Murder. Betrayal. Guilt. Justice trilogy, the Ryder PD launches an official investigation into Eric Walker's homicide. This means questioning every single attendee at the Labor Day party, including protagonist Erika Slatten and two of her friends, Arthur and Kari-Ann. As the investigation kicks into gear, Ryder law enforcement is doing everything they can to interrogate students, friends and family members... Even if it means putting Jimmy Carter High School under daily surveillance to monitor suspicious activity or incriminating knowledge among students. The lead investigator is Gordon Marshall, a very close friend of the Walkers who knew Eric personally, and he is determined to get justice for the young man whose life has just been taken from him so soon. While Erika and her friends feel that their privacy is being violated due to the Ryder PD's constant surveillance of their school, they understand that it is important for them to come forward with anything pertinent to the case, or risk obstruction of justice. She forms an unexpected bond with Eric's mother, Sabrina Walker, and learns more about the past of the most "hated" guy at Jimmy Carter High than she ever realized.

After years of relentless torture at the hands of Kip Pulman she would do anything to escape the deadbeat suburb of Astwright.

When Kip Pulman dies on a drama excursion Marc and Christie are drawn together with only a fifty dollar bill and a few crime scene photographs as clues. Together they hope to bring justice to the boy they once hated (even though Marc believes that hate is a strong word). Hopefully they both get out alive and Marc will win over the girl of his dreams.
