The Housemaid's Secret
The Housemaid's Secret
WINNER OF THE GOODREADS AWARD FOR BEST CRIME AND THRILLER 2023 As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can't risk losing this job - not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe . . .It's hard to find an employer who doesn't ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want.It's almost perfect. But I still haven't met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I'm sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I'm doing laundry. And one day I can't help but knock on the door.

Wandelgids Hadrian's coastal route | The History Press
Wandelgids Hadrian's coastal route | The History Press
Dit is meer een reisgids dan een wandelgids: de kaarten zijn slechts schetsmatig, een wandelkaart er bij is wel zo handig! Hadrian's Wall, running from Wallsend to Bowness, is a much visited attraction and an iconic landmark with over 200 years of serious research behind it. The Western Frontier has had barely 70 but through the efforts of a small band of archaeologists and the Hadrian's Wall Heritage Trust Ltd this is gradually changing. The frontier route followed in this guide, running from Ravenglass to Bowness on Solway, is punctuated by Roman forts, the visible remains of a frontier of watchtowers, mileforts and manned bases. ‘Be part of history, walk a frontier lost for over fifteen hundred years.’The Western Hadrianic Frontier of the Roman Empire is little known by the general public. Until recently the frontier was viewed as merely a series of forts with a fluid means of defence and administration between them, and the public was understandably drawn to the physical remains o…

Reisverhaal The Sea Kingdoms - The history of Celtic Britain and Ireland | Alistair Moffat
Reisverhaal The Sea Kingdoms - The history of Celtic Britain and Ireland | Alistair Moffat
Prachtig werk over de geschiedenis van Celtisch Groot Brittanië en Ierland door Alistair Moffat. Alistair Moffat's journey, from the Scottish islands and Scotland, to the English coast, Wales, Cornwall and Ireland, ignores national boundaries to reveal the rich fabric of culture and history of Celtic Britain which still survives today. This is a vividly told, dramatic and enlightening account of the oral history, legends and battles of a people whose past stretches back many hundred of years. "The Sea Kingdoms" is a story of great tragedies, ancient myths and spectacular beauty. Alistair Moffat was born and raised in Kelso. He took degrees at the universities of St Andrews, Edinburgh and London and played rugby for Kelso and his universities. In 1976, he took charge of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as it grew into the largest arts festival in the world. He now lives in Selkirk. "The Sea Kingdoms" has previously been published by HarperCollins.
