    By sunrise, the queen was dead. They found Chloe Monroe's body behind the football bleachers-her signature pink nails caked with dirt, her phone shattered beside her like glass promises. The police said it was murder. The students said it was karma. At Crescent High, Chloe wasn't just popular-she was power wrapped in perfume and cruelty. The kind of girl who smiled at you just before she ruined your life. She could make someone disappear from the social food chain with a single rumor, and she loved doing it. But beneath the perfect hair, the designer bags, and the fake apologies, Chloe had built herself an army of enemies. Everyone had a story, a reason, a scar. A girl she exposed. A boy she humiliated. A friend she betrayed. A teacher she made loose his job. So when word spread that she was gone, nobody cried. Not really. They whispered. They speculated. Some even smiled. Because in Crescent High, everyone hated Chloe Monroe. The only mystery left- was who hated her enough to kill her. ★.·.·.·.★.·.·.·.·★ IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS: #1 in Solve, Solving, highschool mystery thriller and teen thriller all in December 2025 #1 in SOLVE 23/12/25 #2 in CASE 26/12/25 #2 in SOLVING 27/12/25 #2 in INTERROGATION 27/12/25 #1 in TEEN THRILLER 18/01/26 #8 in WHODUNNIT 14/02/26

    A billionaire is dead. Another is watching. And the woman chasing the truth may already be his obsession. When the COO of Arcadia Software is found murdered in his Manhattan penthouse, the city smells blood. The press swarms. The board panics. And Aiden Blackwell, the company's devastatingly private CEO says nothing. He doesn't have to. Fresh off a career-making exposé that destroyed a pharmaceutical empire, an investigative journalist Mileena Monroe is assigned to break his silence. Her reputation precedes her: relentless, fearless, impossible to manipulate. She's built a career dismantling powerful men. Aiden Blackwell was never meant to be one of them. Brilliant, composed, and dangerously unreadable, Aiden exists in a world where secrets are currency and desire is leverage. As grief over his best friend's death curdles into something darker, he invites her into his orbit; an invitation she knows better than to accept, and can't afford to refuse. What follows is a slow-burning collision of intellect and instinct. A cat-and-mouse chase played out across penthouses, private conferences, and whispered conversations where every look is a challenge and every touch is a threat. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks losing control-not just of the story, but of herself. Because the murder wasn't random. The silence isn't empty. And Aiden Blackwell doesn't want to destroy her- He wants to unravel her. In a game where power seduces, truth bleeds, and love is the most dangerous liability of all, one question remains: Is she hunting him... or exactly where he wants her?

Due to her looks, she often gets sexist remarks from her colleagues, seen only as an object of praise and beauty rather than a fellow detective. Annoyed and frustrated, she goes to an old friend for help and assistance, asking for a partner who doesn't care about her looks and has the brains to work with her, to which she learns that there is a person who could help her, the problem lays in the fact that, that person is the very same man who Grace knew and hated in high school, Basil M. House. Will Grace continue to hate his guts? Is Basil the same man whom Grace knew in High school? And will their relationship change?

    A locked room. A poet dead by his own quill. A detective who sees what others cannot. London, 1889. When the celebrated poet Julian Croft is found dead in his study-door bolted from within, a crimson quill pen buried in his chest-the police call it suicide. The perfect, tragic end for a man who wrote of love and loss. But Eleanor Vance, a young journalist desperate for a real story, refuses to believe it. A man at the height of his powers does not simply vanish. She seeks out Professor Alistair Finch, a reclusive philologist who consults for Scotland Yard on cases that defy reason. He sees what others miss. He finds patterns in chaos. And he agrees to take the case. The room was impossible to enter. The weapon was too fragile to kill. The suicide note was too perfect to be real. As Eleanor and Finch peel back the layers of Croft's life, they uncover a rivalry that burned like poison, a shipwreck that may not have been an accident, and a woman named Isabella Rossi-a ghost whose return will shatter everything they thought they knew. Because the dead are not always gone. Sometimes, they're just waiting. And in the shadows of London, a collector is watching. A collector who doesn't just acquire beautiful things. A collector who destroys them. The game is afoot. But this time, the detective is not immune.

    It's been a very trying year since Clarisse Ricci's world shattered dramatically. Her beloved father, Lorenzo, a larger-than-life billionaire that everyone admired for his kind, protective nature and savvy business management died suddenly. Everyone called it a tragic accident. Clarisse, however, isn't buying it. Now a senior in high school, with the looming thought of going to university and her future on the horizon, she cannot let go of the feeling that something darker happened. Her life soon takes a dangerous turn. Together with Joseph Samuels, her loyal (and occasionally stubborn) English boyfriend, and her creative thirteen-year-old sister, Camille, Clarisse dives into a mystery that threatens everything her parents built for them. The girls' mother, Isabelle, a world-renowned artist, tries to help, but even she is drowning in her own grief and distractions. Then the real danger steps out of the shadows: Harold Ward, Lorenzo's ruthless former COO, who's determined to claim the Ricci legacy for himself. Suddenly, Clarisse isn't just chasing answers but she is fighting to protect her family's future. If she fails, they could lose everything- their safety, their independence, and their chance at the lives they're just beginning to heal. Clarisse and Joseph thought turning eighteen meant gaining more freedom. Instead, it meant stepping up and risking it all. Will Clarisse and Joseph be able to succeed?
