Claire Ashford's husband dies in a car accident. During the chaos of grief, she finds a key on his keyring she's never seen before. It opens an apartment in Bermondsey — one he rented under a different name.
Inside: a second phone, cash, and proof that the man she loved for 8 years wasn't real.
The Second Key is a domestic thriller set in London — think dark secrets, a woman piecing together a double life, and a danger that starts closing in fast.

Hi all - offering ARCs for my upcoming dark academia thriller, THE VELLUM HOURS by Iris Vale.
The pitch:
A research fellow finds a body in the restricted archive of a small English college. The 15th-century manuscript at the centre of it was never supposed to be found. And the college will do anything to keep it that way.
It's a slow-burn campus novel in the lineage of THE SECRET HISTORY and IF WE WERE VILLAINS - quiet, atmospheric, and increasingly wrong. Around 85,000 words.
What I'm looking for: honest reviews on Goodreads / Amazon when the book launches in 2026. ARC is delivered as epub via BookFunnel - works on Kindle, Kobo, and any e-reader app.

A small English village. A secondhand bookshop. And a vicar found dead among the shelves at closing time.
A Death Before Closing Time (A Bramblewood Mystery, Book 1) is now FREE on Kindle for a limited time.
Harriet Crowe runs the only bookshop in Bramblewood - a place where everyone knows everyone's business, except apparently when it comes to murder. When the vicar of St. Mary's turns up dead, Harriet realizes she may be the only person who knows what secret he was hiding. And whoever silenced him knows she knows it too.
Warm characters, a proper English village setting, and just enough menace to keep you turning pages past midnight.
ARC readers gave it 4.17 stars on Goodreads before launch - here's what they said:
"The kind of cozy mystery that actually earns the word cozy."
"Harriet is immediately loveable - I need the next book already."
- Genre: Cozy Mystery / British Mystery
- Setting: Somerset village, fictional Bramblewood
- Series: The Bramblewood Mysteries, Book 1
