The Twenty by Sam Holland-

A nail-biting new thriller from the author of The Echo Man! The countdown has begun. Who will die next? A shocking crime scene... DCI Adam Bishop has never seen anything like it. Five murder victims - all with numbers written above. And the spray-painted daubs reveal a horrific truth: the killer is counting down... A case that twists and turns... When Dr Romilly Cole learns of the murders, they trigger memories of a traumatic past she has tried hard to forget. But getting involved with the case is a bad idea. She and Bishop have history - and working together could never end well. A race against time to stop a killer... Adam and Romilly soon realise the truth lies in a decades-old case, and only Romilly holds the key. But they must act quickly, because with every passing day, there are more victims. And as the numbers edge toward zero, the murders get closer to home...

The Fall by Rachael Blok

The bigger the sin, the further the fall... With Easter approaching, the verger of St Albans Cathedral was supposed to be readying the church. Instead, he discovers a man lying dead, fallen from the famous 150-foot-high tower. Did he jump, or was he pushed? For DCI Maarten Jansen, it's a simple case of suspected suicide. Until a stranger, Willow, who witnessed the jump, prompts a deeper investigation into a decades-old mystery involving a psychiatric hospital, a pregnant woman, and long-buried family secrets... The Fall is a powerful and twisty thriller about loss, trauma, silence, and how our past shapes who we are.
