Overview:
Enter three gripping, contemporary psychological thrillers from the acclaimed Adele Parks, crafted for readers who love morally complex stories with sharp social observation. This three-book collection pairs One Last Secret, Just Between Us, and First Wife’s Shadow into a unified reading experience that showcases Parks’ gift for character-driven suspense, twisty plots, and domestic unease set against stylish, recognisable UK and European settings. In One Last Secret, Dora travels to a glamorous French chateau under the guise of a final, discreet assignment—only to discover that leaving behind a dangerous past isn’t as simple as leaving a passport behind. Just Between Us dives into the nation’s fascination with a high-profile disappearance, where love, jealousy, and deception collide and a single secret could cost lives.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This collection stands out because each standalone title offers a complete, satisfying reading arc while sharing Parks’ signature strengths: brisk pacing, perceptive dialogue, and fearless exploration of how ordinary lives unravel under pressure. The set showcases three different facets of the same genre—romantic entanglements, social masks, and the uneasy line between loyalty and danger—giving readers a cohesive binge-reading journey without needing prior familiarity with the author’s other works. For fans, this is the ultimate entry point into Adele Parks’ fiction: three fresh stories, three unforgettable settings, and three chances to be pulled through a maze of suspicion and emotion. It also makes a thoughtful gift for book clubs, thriller enthusiasts, and anyone who loves page-turning fiction with serious heart.

Books Included in This Collection:
One Last Secret
Dora travels to a sunlit French chateau under the pretense of a final, highly paid assignment. She’s intelligent, alluring, and meticulously careful, yet the game of staying undercover rubs against a longing for a different life. As the week unfolds, the glamorous backdrop cannot hide the danger behind every door—nor the secret past that could ruin any chance of starting anew. With every passing day, Dora realises that one more reveal could be fatal, and the line between protection and exploitation blurs in a heartbeat. This is a taut, high-stakes thriller about risk, risk-taking, and the price of secrets.

Just Between Us
The big-name disappearance of Kylie Gillingham captures national attention and polarises opinion. Married to two men, her absence throws suspicion across both households as each husband claims she was their everything. DC Clements follows the threads of the case, where love can be a shield and a weapon at the same time. Was Kylie taken, did she run, or is there a more intricate truth at play? Parks crafts a layered mystery where every interview and alibi shatters an otherwise perfect love story, leaving readers to weigh loyalty against truth in a narrative that keeps turning on itself.

First Wife’s Shadow
Emma’s relationship with Matthew begins with warmth but quickly invites scrutiny. He’s charming, resourceful, and clearly grieving a loss—yet Emma can’t escape the echo of his late wife. As their bond strengthens, past secrets resurface and the fear of becoming “second best” grows louder. With jealousy simmering and trust fraying, the couple confronts a dangerous tension: how far would someone go to protect a fragile future when a former partner’s memory never quite fades? A modern, suspenseful meditation on desire, power, and the cost of past lives.
