From the best-selling author of She Must Be Mad¸ comes the second book of poetry and prose from Charly Cox. Honest, raw, insightful and magically interweaving the everyday with the abstract, Charly's writing is exquisite. She is a leading light of the new cohort of young women who are changing the landscape for poetry in the twenty-first century. Part comedy, part caricature, but mostly harrowing truth, Charly Cox's second collection, Validate Me, explores the havoc that the digital hemisphere is playing on our relationships, concentration span and mental health. Written entirely on her phone, this is a look at how a life lived online is both liberating and screwing us all up, through the gaze of one woman on the cusp of absolute digital burnout. Funny, heartbreaking and achingly relatable, Charly's writing has the power to make us all feel less alone.

Detective Alyssa Wyatt is hunting a serial killer. 
She doesn't know that he's hunting her. 
A woman is found naked, badly beaten and barely alive in the New Mexico mountains. The shocking discovery plunges Albuquerque Detective Alyssa Wyatt into a case that will test her to the limit. 
It appears that Callie McCormick is the latest plaything of a shadowy psychopath that leaves a long shadow on the streets of New Mexico - an individual linked to a string of deaths but leaving no evidence. 
But when Alyssa makes a breakthrough that just might reveal the killer, she unknowingly puts herself in the crosshairs of a brutal maniac - one with an old score to settle. 
Because the killer knows Alyssa very well, even if she doesn't know him. And he's determined that she'll know his name - even if he has to extract his deadly revenge on her and everything she loves.

'I was on the edge of my seat every time I turned the page!! One of the best crime books I have ever read!!!' ***** Reader Review 
You don't want to play their games... 
All around Albuquerque, New Mexico, young women are going missing, seemingly vanished into thin air. With no link between the victims, Detective Alyssa Wyatt is quickly plunged into a horrifying case with no obvious clues. 
And when Jersey Andrews, the best friend of Alyssa's teenage daughter, Holly, joins the list of vanished girls, the case becomes personal. 
But this investigation will lead Alyssa and partner Cord into the most sinister depths of humanity; an evil place where life is expendable, and where the depraved can fulfil their darkest desires - if they have the money to pay for it. 
As the first bodies appear, abandoned on the streets, Alyssa is forced into a frantic hunt to track down the killers - before more innocent women lose their lives. But when the truth comes out, it seems that the key to solving the case was hiding in the last place anyone expected... 
A dark, tension-filled and absolutely nail-biting crime thriller with a twist - this one will have you reading until the small hours. Fans of Robert Bryndza, Melinda Leigh and Lisa Regan will not want to miss this addictive read.

Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Mystery

From behind her came a noise, and she whirled around. Two pairs of cold, murderous eyes stared back at her from beneath hooded cloaks. She stood cemented in place, even as her brain screamed at her to run... 
It's their usual Thursday girls' night in, and best friends Skye, Elena, and London are enjoying hanging out at Skye's house in New Mexico, eating junk food, drinking wine, and playing with Skye's little children, Carter and Abigail. 
Until the intruders arrive. 
Hearing the horrific screams from Elena and Skye, London hides the children, tiptoes out to see what has happened... and disappears. 
After Carter raises the alarm, Detective Alyssa Wyatt is called in to investigate a bloodbath that appears to have no motive, no evidence, and worse still - no sign of London. 
As Alyssa and her team dig deeper, the truth is always out of their reach... but what is clear is that they need to find London, and fast. 
And as they uncover a link between the murders and a sinister local cult, can Alyssa find the young woman who has vanished without a trace - before London joins the list of victims? 
Meet Detective Alyssa Wyatt. Mom, Wife... and a serial killer's worst nightmare. 
An utterly addictive, dark and twisty detective novel with a twist that will leave you gasping. If you're a fan of Kendra Elliot, Lisa Regan or Angela Marsons, you'll fall in love with Charly Cox's stunning detective series.
