If You Like Candice Fox Books, You’ll Love…
Fox’s first novel is Hades and it is a wholly original dark thriller. The book tells the story of the title character, Hades Archer, who has surrounded himself with junk and the unwanted things of other people’s lives. When one of those things is a beautiful young girl, his choice will change everything. 20 years later, detective Eden Archer is on the case and her new partner has just as many questions about her as he does the killer. Her brother is also on the force and the case reminds the siblings all too well of a scarred childhood.
Candice Fox is also the author of Crimson Lake which is the first book in the series of the same name. Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time when a woman is abducted at his exact location. Accused of the crime, but not convicted of it – Ted heads to the croc-infested Crimson Lake where he’ll meet up with convicted murdered turned private investigator. Ted starts helping her with an investigation and while doing so notices that something doesn’t add up in her troubled past.
Congratulations and keep up with your great work. Even in my street you have several admires and look forward to all of your books. Kindest Regards Peter Hallam and Kieth Power.
