Don't Tell Meg Trilogy Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 805 ratings

'Was gripped, read all of them in 4 days couldn’t put them down, need to read more Paul J Teague' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don't Tell Meg: Two women. One night. So many deaths.

When radio journalist Pete Bailey betrays his wife Meg on his fortieth birthday, he has no idea of the terrible consequences that will follow his infidelity.

His passionate relationship with Meg is on the rocks and they’re having no luck starting a family.

It’s only when he meets TV reporter Ellie Turner on a working weekend away from home that Pete succumbs to her charms in a moment of weakness.

His treacherous actions set off a chain of events fueled by jealousy, revenge, violence and hatred.

Five people will lose their lives as a result of Pete’s deception and he will be compelled to confront the ugly truth about his wife and his best friend, Jem.

He thought that nobody would ever discover what he’d done with Ellie … but he didn’t know who was listening in the room next door.

The Murder Place: A missing wife. A former lover. A house that isn't yet done with death.

Estranged from his wife and living on a caravan park, Pete Bailey thinks the worst is over.

Well away from the marital home where the murders took place, Pete is still hoping to hear from Meg and get a sale on a property that nobody wants to buy.

But the newspaper and TV reports haven't gone unnoticed and there are some new arrivals in the town.

Teaming up with his TV friend and former lover, Alex Kennedy, Pete goes in search of the truth about Meg and hurtles headlong into a tangled mess along the way.

The house where two men lost their lives is not yet done with the killing - and more people who are close to Pete must lose their lives before the secrets of Meg's past are revealed.

Pete will be brought to the edge of despair and risks losing everything in this non-stop, psychological thriller.

The Forgotten Children: A childhood poisoned by betrayal. A revenge that can wait no more.

Things have gone from bad to worse for radio journalist, Pete Bailey.

Not only is he still estranged from his wife Meg, but he has also found himself living in a rundown flat in Blackpool, rapidly running out of money and scraping by to make ends meet.

The seaside resort holds the secrets of Meg's childhood years, which were poisoned by cruelty, betrayal and violence.

As Pete gets closer to the truth, the past comes back to haunt him as a killer seeks to right wrongs and destroy old enemies.

More lives will be lost and those closest to Pete will risk most of all.

But finally, after all the death and misery, the terrible truth will be revealed.

Please note that this e-book compilation contains mild violence, bad language and sexual references.

'Just brilliant! The best thriller set I have ever read! So many twists and turns and I did not see that ending coming!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Superb. A truly thrilling story, full of twists and slow reveals.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


'More twists and turns than you can imagine! If there were a rating number above 5, I would have selected it! From the first page of the first book in the "Don't Tell Meg" Trilogy, my Mom and I were completely hooked!
My Mom is in a nursing home, and I read to her every afternoon. This time we spend together is very precious to us both. This Trilogy was a page-turner from the get go!!! We were on the edge of our seat/bed with every flip of a page! With other books, I would read to my Mom for two hours or so. This Trilogy was so suspenseful, I read to Mom for four hours every day, only stopping because my voice was so hoarse, I couldn't talk anymore!'

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Hi, I'm Paul Teague, the author of the DI Hollie Turner series and the Morecambe Bay trilogies.

There are now five titles in the Hull-based DI Hollie Turner series, starting with a trilogy made up from The Fallen Girls, Her Last Cry and The Fifth Girl.

There are two standalone stories - The Killing Circle and Her Final Secret - which follow on from that first story.

There are nine books in the now-completed Morecambe Bay series, with the first story titled Left For Dead.

I've also written the Don't Tell Meg trilogy of psychological thrillers as well as several other standalone stories such as Now You See Her, Dead of Night, One Last Chance, No More Secrets and So Many Lies.

I'm a former broadcaster and journalist with the BBC, but I have also worked as a primary school teacher, a disc jockey, a shopkeeper, a waiter and a sales rep.

I've read thrillers all my life, starting with Enid Blyton's Famous Five series as a child, then graduating to James Hadley Chase, Harlan Coben, Linwood Barclay and Mark Edwards.

If you love those authors then you’ll like my thrillers too.

I also write sci-fi and dystopian novels as Paul Teague and these stories are set in dark and sinister future-worlds.

I have written The Secret Bunker Trilogy, The Grid Trilogy and the standalone story, Phase 6.

    This is indeed a thriller and the characters are so well developed and interesting. Our hero is certainly interesting and even though he is slow to learn, he is endearing. The plots are exciting and find our hero and his friends in the most precarious situations, many being the result of our hero sometimes making those bad decisions with catastrophic results. The twists and turns make for a thrilling ride.

    The author initiates a tale of a relationship destroyed by one persons cheating.

    The entangled relationships resulting from a minimal adultery build a tale that is crafted exceptionally well holding the readers interest as it unwinds.

    It was lucky that the books came as a bundle, otherwise I would have found annoying that there is no ending at the first book, the at the second one. It would have been frustrating.
    The story, or more like it the stories, are really not credible. But it’s intertaining. Must have been quite complicated to thread all that to make it stand up.

    I read the Morecombe Bay series first and really enjoyed them. This trilogy is also very good. Great characters, well written but not complicated and true to life - more so because it revolves around places I know. Love it.
