Attending your best friend’s wedding should be a piece of (wedding)
cake, but not for bestselling mystery author Eleanor Dash. Because
murder seems to follow her every time she goes on holiday – and is her
uninvited plus-one to this special occasion . . .
Eleanor’s best friend, Emma, is starring in a movie alongside her
co-star and fiancé, Fred. As filming wraps, they invite the whole cast
and crew to their wedding at nearby Catalina Island.
There may be a storm headed their way – because of course there is –
but nothing will stop their nuptials. That is until Emma receives a
note that says: Someone is going to die at the wedding.
Eleanor is practically a professional detective at this point, and
she’ll do everything she can to uncover the murderer. But will this be
a destination wedding to die for in more ways than one?

Set on the coast of Sicily, The Safety Net is the twenty-fifth
novel in the bestselling Inspector Montalbano series by Andrea
Camilleri. ***Adapted for BBC4's Inspector Montalbano series***
Vigata is bustling as the new filming location for a Swedish
television series set in 1950. In the production frenzy, the
director asks the locals to track down movies and vintage photos to
faithfully recreate the air of Vigata at that time. Meanwhile,
Montalbano is grappling with a double mystery, one that emerges
from the past and another that leads him into the future . . .
Engineer Ernesto Sabatello, rummaging in the attic of his house,
finds some films shot by his father between 1958 and 1963, always
on the same day, 27 March, and always the same shot: the outside
wall of a country house. Montalbano hears the story and, intrigued,
begins to investigate its meaning. Meanwhile, a middle school is
threatened by a group of armed men, and a closer look at the case
finds Montalbano looking into the students themselves and delving
into the world of social media.
In these masterfully crafted stories set across southern Africa,
ordinary lives intersect with extraordinary circumstances, weaving
together tales of survival, betrayal, and transformation.
At a township's edge, the child performers of an improvised circus
develop impossible abilities, defying gravity and reality. In
post-independence rural Namibia, a security guard protects an abandoned
fish farm while harbouring painful secrets about wartime loyalty. A
zoologist's search for a new amphibian species in Zambia masks deeper
personal turmoil, leading to tragic consequences. And a conversation
with a seductive stranger on a flight to Addis Ababa becomes the
turning point in the life of a young woman flailing between two
cultures.
From a teenage girl's near-fatal swim off the coast of Mozambique to
the stark choices facing a naive man caught up in corrupt activities as
the pandemic rages, each story exposes layers of human nature to reveal
both beauty and darkness. The collection offers a deep understanding of
the region's social landscape while remaining grounded in universal
experiences: the need for acceptance, the weight of secrets, and
unexpected resilience in the face of failure and loss.
Honore Bainbridge has been courted by two men, one of whom turned
out to be a traitor, the other a murderer. Banished to her family's
country estate, where she will hopefully stay out of trouble, she
finally meets the man she is sure is exactly right for her: Lord
Ashmoor. Tall, dark, and handsome--what more could a girl ask for?
But he too is under suspicion because of his American upbringing
and accusations that he has helped French and American prisoners
escape from Dartmoor Prison. For his part, Lord Ashmoor needs a
wife beyond reproach, which Honore certainly is not. Amid a
political climate that is far from friendly, Honore determines to
help Ashmoor prove his innocence--if she can do so and stay alive.
From the rocky cliffs of Devonshire, England, comes the exciting
conclusion to the lush Daughters of Bainbridge House series.
Award-winning author Laurie Alice Eakes thrusts her readers into
high drama from the very first sentence and keeps them on their
toes until the final page.
An elegant Everyman's Library hardcover edition of the universally
acclaimed novel--winner of the Booker Prize, a bestseller and a
perpetually strong backlist title, and the basis for an
award-winning film--with full-cloth binding, a silk ribbon marker,
a chronology, and a new introduction by Salman Rushdie.
Here is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of Stevens,
the perfect butler, and of his fading, insular world in post-World
War II England. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at
Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well
on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that
he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman," Lord
Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true
nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness," and much graver doubts
about the nature of his own life.

INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL HIT SONG
"W"hen Beth Thompson's only son, James, goes missing in action in
Afghanistan, she is left with her prayers, hopes, fears . . . and
letters.
Mother and son have been writing since boot camp. James writes of
his struggle to become a confident soldier and of his concern for
his young wife and their unborn child. Beth, like any mom, praises
her son's courage even as she frets for his safety.
Even after James disappears, Beth is comforted by a daily ritual of
writing him about her feelings, faith, and attempts to maintain a
normal life when nothing is really normal but the waiting.
Based on platinum-selling singer Mark Schultz's hit song "Letters
from War," this powerfully emotional and timely story reveals how
faith sustains in even the darkest of circumstances.
