THE DEEPER YOU GO, THE DARKER YOU GET. THE STAGE IS SET…

Ripped away from her circus family and kidnapped, Angel finds herself the unwilling ‘guest’ in a dilapidated theatre, belonging to a man who calls himself the Puppet Master.

She’s not the only captive, either. All of the broken and terrified people below ground are forced to perform for a very darkly discerning audience.

When performers begin to go missing, no one knows why, or who will be next. Fear is growing and Angel intends to ensure one thing - that it won’t be her. What is happening here? Just who is the Puppet Master, and what does he want with her? Angel may well wish that she'd never found out. But is he really the one pulling the strings?

To save them all and get to the truth, Angel has to perform the darkest show of all. But truth comes at a price. And someone will pay...

This book is part of the Darker Minds crime and suspense thriller series: Dark minds are at work. Sometimes it takes a darker one to stop them.

Perfect for readers of Mark Edwards, Mark Tilbury, Caroline Mitchell, Helen Phifer, and those who like their dark crime mixed with a good dose of suspense.

The Darker Minds books can be read in any order.

Three people. One killer. And a picture that someone will die for.

When Vicky meets Anthony, she sees him as a happy distraction from her claustrophobic relationship with her housemate and self-appointed guardian, Fran.

Anthony already knows Vicky because he has been following her every move. She is perfect for what he needs - a model for the ultimate photo of his life's work - and he will do anything it takes to get that shot.

But Fran is not so easy to get rid of. Haunted by the disappearance of her sister, and blaming herself, she is desperate not to make the same mistakes again with Vicky. And when push really comes to shove, she has other ideas about that killer image.

Beneath obsession lurks something more deadly…

A family with dark secrets. Will someone kill to keep them?

Neve Eldritch is pregnant, happy, and has one wish - to get her husband, Harry, to reconnect with his family. Neve has never met them - and with good reason. Now there’s a chance to move into the family home and heal a long-standing rift. Going home can’t be that bad. Can it? But something feels wrong from the moment they arrive.

When you’ve avoided the problem for so long, it’s bound to rear its ugly head. All Harry ever wanted was to be worthy in his dad’s eyes. There’s a secret to success, one his dad has taunted him with as a boy, but now he’s gone to drastic lengths to stop Harry getting hold of it. Desperate to prove himself, Harry takes matters into his own hands - with deadly results.

But Harry isn’t prepared for what the horrifying key to his family's success really is, and it's spiralling out of control. When murder follows murder, he’s sure he’s committed them. How can he stop himself and keep his family safe when the secret he now holds won't let him - and he can’t remember any of it?

Suspicions run rife in Neve. Her husband is lying to her. Is he crazy? Or is he a killer? Or maybe - just maybe - someone, somewhere, wants rid of him, and they'll do anything to get what they want. And she’s sure they’re here, at the isolated family home. Do they want to kill her, too?

Terrible choices lay ahead if anyone is to get out alive. One person can save them all. But time is ticking away… and it’s proving to be deadly.

Be careful what you wish for... you just might get it.

Hello, and welcome to my Amazon Author Page. I write psychological suspense thrillers and women's fiction with an unnerving edge, and where the motive is always personal. My latest novel, Hers or Mine, is a psychological suspense about a couple who harbour a dark secret. When that secret rears its head at a retreat for creatives, and it seems that everyone is lying, who can you trust - and who will get out alive?

I have written several books in my Darker Minds Crime and Suspense series, where dark minds are at work and sometimes it takes a darker one to stop them. Each book is a standalone story, linked by this theme. Expect some nasty villains and flawed characters, as well as numerous dark twists.

When I'm not writing you'll usually find me with a cuppa, curled up with a crime book.

You can find out everything about me and my books, including how to join my Readers' Club and receive EXCLUSIVE content from me, on my website - claireladds.com.

There are loads of other ways you can hear more from me and about my books, and get some sneak peeks at what's happening 'behind the scenes'. If you click the yellow 'follow' button on this page, Amazon will let you know whenever I have a new book out. You'll never miss my new releases that way!
