About this deal

The eighth, and final, book of the Seven Sisters sequence has been completed by Riley’s eldest son, Harry Whittaker, and will be published in May, but there is also the excitement of a new and previously unpublished novel… the author’s only crime mystery. First of all, I would like to thank the family of Lucinda Riley for deciding to release this forgotten work by the author without many editions. Threading between the lead players and events that have shaped the murder, the past bleeds into the present, murky secrets raise their ugly heads, old jealousies resurface, and revenge becomes the driving force.

Thanks to her children, Lucinda Riley’s work can continue to be enjoyed thanks to The Murders at Fleat House.An enjoyable standalone crime saga with an intriguing unfolding investigation making for a four star read rating. Then, reaching carefully for the two white tablets placed on the boy's locker every night and replacing them with identical ones, the figure turned, switched off the light and left the room.

For those not aware, Lucinda – Mum – died on 11 June 2021, following an oesophageal cancer diagnosis in 2017. Lucinda's The Seven Sisters series, which tells the story of adopted sisters and is inspired by the mythology of the famous star cluster, has become a global phenomenon. Harry lives a quiet, careful, rootless life — he can’t afford to attract attention or get attached — until he meets Miranda.Sadly though this was not meant to be as the author Lucinda Riley passed away last year following a four year long battle with cancer. My sense of trust, concern and blame shifted as the novel made its way from the beginning through to the end. I think if all the other stuff would have been left out it could have been a 3,5 star or 4 star book. Her many fans will find much in this novel that resonates with everything they loved about The Seven Sisters. When her former boss requests that she investigate the sudden death of a pupil at a posh local boarding school, she relishes the opportunity to take the lead without her annoying ex undermining her.

Homecoming takes us back to Ford County, the fictional setting of many of John Grisham’s unforgettable stories. A suspenseful and utterly compelling crime novel from the author of the multimillion-selling The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley. A murder enquiry is launched headed by Detective Inspector Jazmin (Jazz) Hunter who was on sabbatical from the Met for personal reasons. MY THOUGHTS: Although this isn't Lucinda Riley's normal genre, I rather enjoyed what was obviously meant to be the first book in a series featuring DI Jazz Hunter. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.En definitiva, es un libro muy diferente a lo que Riley publicó después, pero tampoco hay que quitarle mérito al trabajo que hizo. This was not so much an action book, the policing was more cerebral in nature, but the pace nevertheless kept up a good clip and I found the story very compelling. Charlie is exposed as an arrogant bully, and those around him had both motive and opportunity to switch the drugs he took daily to control his epilepsy. Jazz is likeable and relatable, and her ex is a total tosser who irritated me, but his presence gave Jazz the closure she needed to move to the next chapter in her life! I’ve loved Lucinda Riley’s work for over ten years now, so the opportunity to read a new book from this treasured author in wake on her loss last year was very much appreciated on my part.

Tajemnice Fleat House” byłyby doskonałym wstępem do nastrojowej serii kryminalnej jednej z ukochanych, bestsellerowych autorek. Eso sin hablar de nuestra protagonista, una mujer fuerte y con carácter que sabe muy bien lo que quiere y lo más importante, lo que no quiere. Reunited with her loyal sergeant Alastair Miles, she enters the closed world of the school, and as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish’s tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn.

I've loved the Seven Sisters from the get-go and this latest in the series is just as great as the rest . Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, but reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss.
