Every Breath

Description

What if Sherlock Holmes was the boy next door? Rachel Watts has just moved to Melbourne from the country, but the city is the last place she wants to be. James Mycroft is her neighbour and schoolmate - intriguing, troubled, and passionate about forensics. Things start going south when, after sneaking out one night, they find the murdered body of their friend. Mycroft knows he can't let it go, and Watts knows she has to help, even if it means opening old wounds and complicating their friendship. But they have more than just the murder to worry about: Mycroft is acting out more than usual and Watts's family is struggling. As tensions run high and words cut deep, can they solve the mystery, evade the killer, and work out what they mean to each other?

Ellie Marney is a multi-award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of crime thrillers, including The Killing Code, None Shall Sleep, White Night, No Limits, the Every series, and the Circus Hearts series. Her books are published in ten countries and have been optioned for television.

'LOVED this has got to be the best Sherlock Holmes spin-off I've ever read. I loved that both Watts and Mycroft are flawed, believable characters who are at once tough and vulnerable in their own ways cute references to the canon but it also rips along beautifully as a stand-alone teenage mystery/romance.' - Kate Calhau, Publishing Assistant
