  • Een van Sarahs dochters sterft. Maar kan zij zeker weten wie van de twee? Een jaar nadat een van hun identieke tweelingdochters, Lydia, door een ongeluk overlijdt, verhuizen Angus en Sarah Moorcroft naar een klein Schots eiland dat Angus van zijn oma heeft geërfd, in de hoop hun verwoeste leven weer op te pakken. Maar wanneer hun andere dochter, Kirstie, meent dat ze haar identiteit hebben verwisseld - dat zij Lydia is - stort hun wereld opnieuw in. Als de winter oprukt, en Angus voor zijn werk op het vasteland moet verblijven, lijkt het verleden Sarah in te halen en wordt Kirstie (of is het Lydia?) steeds onrustiger. Wat is er nou echt gebeurd op de fatale dag dat een van haar dochters overleed?

    Ijstweeling
  • Alles lijkt Rachel voor de wind te gaan wanneer ze trouwt met de geheimzinnige, knappe David. Ze laat haar bestaan als single in Londen achter en verhuist naar het prachtige Carnhallow House in Cornwall. Hier vindt ze de liefde en de rijkdom die ze jarenlang zocht en neemt ze de zorg voor haar stiefzoon Jamie op zich. Eindelijk heeft Rachel het leven waar ze zo naar verlangde. Maar perfect zal haar leven niet lang blijven. Jamie doet een huiveringwekkende voorspelling die haar niet meer loslaat. Zijn dreigende woorden dwingen Rachel in het verleden te gaan graven. Het spoor leidt onder meer naar de verlaten mijnschacht waar Davids overleden vrouw Nina – de moeder van Jamie – anderhalf jaar geleden in is verdronken. De geest van Nina lijkt Rachel te achtervolgen. Ondertussen begint ze haar kersverse echtgenoot steeds meer te wantrouwen. Waarom weigert hij te praten over Jamies vreemde gedrag? En wat is er precies gebeurd in de aanloop naar de vroegtijdige dood van zijn overleden vrouw? Met de donkere dagen van december in aantocht grijpt de angst Rachel naar de keel. Want wat als er waarheid schuilt in Jamies ijzingwekkende voorspelling? ‘Met Kerstmis ga jij dood.’

Newly divorced Jo is delighted to move into her best friend's spare room almost rent-free. The high-tech luxury Camden flat is managed by a meticulous Home Assistant, called Electra, that takes care of the heating, the lights - and sometimes Jo even turns to her for company. Until, late one night, Electra says one sentence that rips Jo's fragile world in two: `I know what you did.' And Jo is horrified. Because in her past she did do something terrible. Something unforgivable. Only two other people in the whole world know Jo's secret. And they would never tell anyone. Would they? As a fierce winter brings London to a standstill, Jo begins to understand that the Assistant on the shelf doesn't just want to control Jo; it wants to destroy her.
