An utterly original, hilarious and heart-warming novel about a murdered woman investigating her own death, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and S J Bennett.
Hello? Can you hear me? Probably not. I'm Dr Miriam Price . . . and I'm dead. The local police, who couldn't investigate their own nostrils, think I drank myself into an early grave. The nerve! I was murdered. I was just too plastered to know whodunnit, that's all.
Unless I prove to my inquest this week that my death was no 'misadventure', I'm condemned to 50 years in Limbo. I have to find my killer - but I can't communicate with any living human. Well, there's one, but she barely qualifies . . . Winnie - my neighbour and nemesis. It seems the dying can interact with the dead, which is helpful news for me, if not stellar for Winnie. Oh well. She'll live. Maybe.
Suspects? How long have you got? My saintly husband, who'd reached his limit? My best friend, who was anything but? My secret lover, or his wife? My disgruntled colleague? The mother who wrongly holds me responsible for her child's death? Professor Plum? Your guess is as good as mine.
So Winnie - slap on your deerstalker and strap on your granny pants. Let's catch a killer! Assuming we don't kill each other first . . .

This pioneering Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and
in-depth scholarly overview of the field of soft law, exploring the
scope of current thinking in the field as well as proposing future
pathways for soft law research. Organized into four broad themes,
the Research Handbook offers important and unique insights into the
dynamic and complex nature of soft law. The first section delves
into the conceptual history and development of soft law. Second,
the Handbook explores the disciplinary understandings of soft law,
examining how scholars from different fields investigate the topic.
The third theme focuses on the public and private actors and
institutions involved in soft law-making, providing a detailed
analysis of the complex relationships that shape soft law. Finally,
the fourth theme explores the role of soft law in addressing major
global societal challenges, including among others climate change,
gender inequality, and the regulation of artificial intelligence.
This Research Handbook will be a key resource for students and
scholars in constitutional and administrative law, public
international law, regulation and governance, public administration
and policy, and law and politics. Practitioners and policymakers
seeking to better understand the role of soft law in domestic and
international law, policy and governance will also find this book
beneficial.
Clinical legal education (CLE) is a springboard for entry into
legal practice, preparing students for the professional challenges
they will face after completing their studies and embarking on
their legal careers. In her eight years of conducting research on
CLE in South African universities, the author has found that the
most urgent needs are in the area of student assessment. Designing
a curriculum with assessable content is therefore essential for
clinicians who, in certifying students' capabilities, are the
gatekeepers to practice. This book identifies curriculum
requirements across a number of jurisdictions, and proposes a menu
of assessment methods, which may enhance the choices of assessment
methodologies available to South African university law clinics. It
also covers the setting of parameters for assessment, grading,
grade descriptors and moderation systems, and discusses different
forms of tests, assignments, essay- and oral-examinations, as well
as self- and peer-evaluation, peer editing, case portfolios, and
trial advocacy skills. The book addresses challenges such as
clinicians' heavy workloads and differing levels of experience in
supervision and assessment. It discusses challenges students face
and presents solutions enabling clinicians to help them depending
on their individual experience and needs. Also discussed are the
potential conflicts between the needs of students and those of the
local community being served by the law clinic. Although the aim of
this book is to find appropriate assessment methods for CLE, the
effectiveness of an assessment programme can only be determined
when measured against a curriculum. The proposed curriculum is
therefore measured against the identified assessment criteria. CLE

consumer behavior to present the state-of-the-art in cross-cultural
consumer research. Examining how culture shapes what consumers
seek, evaluate and choose to purchase, Cross-Cultural Consumer
Behavior explains why and how cultural values such as

be valuable to researchers and students of international business,
global marketing, and consumer behavior. Cross-Cultural Consumer
Behavior will also be relevant for marketing practitioners and
international marketing agencies.

The highly influential masterpiece of Latin American literature, now published in a new, authoritative translation, and featuring a foreword by Gabriel García Márquez
A masterpiece of the surreal that influenced a generation of writers in Latin America, Pedro Páramo is the otherworldly tale of one man’s quest for his lost father. That man swears to his dying mother that he will find the father he has never met—Pedro Páramo—but when he reaches the town of Comala, he finds it haunted by memories and hallucinations. There emerges the tragic tale of Páramo himself, and the town whose every corner holds the taint of his rotten soul. Although initially published to a quiet reception, Pedro Páramo was soon recognized as a major novel that has served as a touchstone text for writers including Mario Vargas Llosa and José Donoso.
Now published in a new translation from the definitive Spanish edition by celebrated Rulfo scholar Douglas J. Weatherford, and featuring a foreword by Gabriel García Márquez, this new edition of the novel cements its place as one of the seminal literary texts of the twentieth century.

Presenting a contemporary outlook on how organizations must adjust
to the 'Era of Me', this timely book analyses contemporary learning
paradigms, sustainability, performance management, and theories of

business. Covering a broad range of salient topics and shifting the
employee-employer relationship to one of mutual goals and trust,
chapters challenge old management styles while recommending novel
future methods of engineering the world of work in an era of
constant change. Using a symbiosis of research, theory, and

resource for students, and scholars of psychology, organizational
studies and business administration. It will also be an essential
guide to managers, stakeholders, consultants, and policymakers who
are interested in practical ways of adjusting to the changes of the
21st century.
From the author of the international bestseller, The Mad Women's Ball, a hugely atmospheric novel for fans of Elizabeth Strout and Annie E Proulx.
Sometimes the truth lies in the things you cannot see.
In 1830 a young novice called Catherine Labouré was granted a vision of the Virgin Mary. Nearly 200 years later, Sister Anne is also waiting for a sign. Which is why she accepts a mission to go to a tiny community on an island just off the coast of Brittany. Her only companion there is a sceptical, chain-smoking older nun who just wants to be left in peace.
On the island she meets Hugo, the son of a devout family who prefers to look for the meaning of life amid the stars; Madenn, a grandmother whose daughter was killed in a crash and who finds meaning in routine; Isaac, Madenn's grandson, an otherworldly teenager who doesn't fit in but who befriends Hugo, and Julia, a sickly child. If anyone needs a miracle, it is her.
But it is not Sister Anne who receives a vision. Instead it is Isaac who is found on a promontary, transfixed, unable to utter more than the words 'I see'. The event soon becomes headline news and the world descends on the small island, opening old wounds and unleashing a chain of events none of them could have foreseen.
