Stand Alone Thrillers
A quick word of warning: the books in this section are not cosy mysteries.
They contain darker themes, deeper shadows, and a more psychological approach — and are not suitable for younger readers.
While my cosy novels lean toward humour, warmth, and gentle puzzle-solving, these standalone stories explore the unsettling corners of human nature: institutional secrets, moral ambiguity, psychological tension, and the choices people make when pushed too far.
If you enjoy fiction that is atmospheric, character-driven, and unafraid to ask difficult questions, you’ll find something compelling here.
If you prefer cosy comfort with a body on page three, this might be the moment to return to

Triage
A seed engineered for hope. A harvest built for ruin. One secret decides who eats—and who starves.
Hunger has always been humanity’s oldest enemy. Now it has been weaponised.
From the hushed corridors of Oxford to the shadowed chambers of Washington, four lives intertwine:
Stefan, a brilliant geneticist who believes destruction is the truest form of beauty.
Caroline, his former lover, scarred but unbroken, fighting famine on the global stage.
Jonathon, her brother, a political strategist who trades truth for power.
Ned, the awkward journalist who sees too much—and can no longer stay silent.
Together they uncover a conspiracy woven into the very seeds meant to save the world. Crops thrive, then collapse. Nations starve. And in the Oval Office, the President weighs not morality, but survival.
Ruthlessly atmospheric and chillingly plausible, this novel asks a single, devastating question:
What if the weapon that ends war isn’t a bomb, but the silence of empty fields?
