Kill Who You Want
What if it came to the starkest of all choices: kill, or else suffer the loss of a loved one? Readers' comments: 'simply the best', 'one of the best books I've read', 'loved it', 'amazing', 'great reading', 'stumped me to the very end' and others Plot: When a pregnant doctor is brutally murdered in her own kitchen, the husband claims to have some weeks earlier received an anonymous and darkly menacing letter. For the small town of Ravensby, it's just the start of a living nightmare - one in which nobody is spared from the murderous cross hairs, and which will drive Detective Inspector Kubič to the edge of his own sanity... Genre: suspense/thriller Status: completed Length: 70,000 words (approx. 275 standard novel pages) Target readership: Though aimed primarily at adults, the novel features several teenage characters and so may also appeal to a younger audience Extract: "Warn you sir, not a pretty sight in there." Kubič took a deep, preparatory breath, his footsteps slow and leaden as he moved towards the kitchen door. Not for the first time over the years, he found himself wishing he'd chosen an entirely different sort of career. Paper-pushing, something out of doors. Anything at all. He'd always been reasonable enough at woodwork back at school, he recalled. Why hadn't he done that, he thought? Become a cabinet maker or some damn thing. A reluctant hand pushed open the door... "Oh dear Christ." The words escaped his mouth forcefully, involuntarily, like blood gushing from an open woundComplete

A Bloody Grim Payne
[Discontinued, sorry.] Nicola Payne has been a homicide detective for years, finding bodies, finding killers, looking for her own answers to decade-long questions. The trail has led her to a city called Grimsborough, which is nothing like her previous placement. Payne enjoys a challenge, however, and soon her new friends will learn that. What they'll also learn is that Payne has many secrets, some more dangerous to know about than others. And what will Nicola Payne learn? How to act like a normal human being, even at work? How to protect those near to her? How to trust people with her deepest darkest secrets? Only time will tell, as she searches for the evidence that will lead to the truth. Even if she may hate it. Pretty Simple owns Criminal Case, the characters, and the cases. I own this story, the OCs, any fan-cases, and my headcanons.Complete
