Serial offerings with a killer twist

CHASED out of London by people traffickers, journalist Jenny returns to her native Guernsey in The Devil's Claw by Lara Dearman (Trapeze, £7.99) to take up a rather dull job on the island's daily paper.

When a woman's body washes up on a local beach, it's unclear whether the death was due to suicide or accident but, while researching for a background feature, Jenny finds other such deaths. They go back decades, with remarkably similar features in common.
