|title=The Lying-Down Room (Commandant Serge Morel)
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=There is a reason why everyone who can leave Paris in August does so: it's swelteringly hot and deeply unpleasant. Commandant Serge Morel and his assistant, Lila Markov don't have the choice and to add to their problems they're short-staffed. The murder of the old woman seemed strange from the beginning: she was frail, inoffensive but she'd apparently been drowned and then laid out with care, garishly made up and adorned with a red wig. The bed sheet was tucked in tightly around her. Why would anyone want to murder her? And why was Fauré's ''Requiem'' playing whilst the murderer worked?

|summary=Sarah Edwards returned with her two children to sleepy Cherringham in the Cotswolds after her marriage fell apart. Jack Brennan was a homicide detective with NYPD and a year ago he lost his wife. All he wants now is peace and quiet and to that end he's living on a canal boat in Cherringham. Both of them thought that what they needed was to get away from the stress and strain - but they're just beginning to realise that there's something missing in their lives. Excitement.
