Murder in the Crooked House
The Crooked House sits on a snowbound cliff at the remote northern tip of Japan, a maze of sloping floors and strange staircases, full of bloodcurdling masks and uncanny dolls. When a guest is found murdered in seemingly impossible circumstances, the police are unable to solve the puzzle, and more bizarre deaths follow.
Enter Kiyoshi Mitarai, the renowned sleuth. Surely if anyone can crack these cryptic murders it is him. But you have all the clues too - can you solve the mystery of the murders in the Crooked House before he does?
Japan's War
'A superbly revealing account of a dreadful and profoundly sad war' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL'This extraordinary book gives us a unique insight into why and how Japan fought such an appalling war' NICK HEWERA new perspective on Japan during the Asia-Pacific War, using remarkable first-hand Japanese source material. Even after eighty years since the end of a conflict that killed thirty-five million people, there remains deeply-felt bitterness and anger about the way the Asia-Pacific War was fought, especially by the Japanese. The war in the East stretched from Hawaii to India - with Japanese forces attacking Singapore, China and Malaysia, as well as bombing the north coast of Australia. The Allied forces, led by the US, waged an island-by-island counteroffensive that eventually saw the invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan has been vilified for the countless examples of its cruelty to civilians and prisoners of war. These criticisms have led to a backlash in Japan, where many deny that the accusations are true. By going back to the origins of modern Japan, and by using only Japanese accounts, Japan's War: Hirohito's Holy War against the West offers a powerful account of the conflict and explains in detail why the Japanese conducted the war in the way that they did.

But soon enough she finds that there are darker things at work in the Carolina woods.
What happened to her predecessor, Halder's wife?
Why are animals acting so strangely?
And what is behind the peculiar local whispers about 'blood thieves'?

Lazar
The snow of the dying century still lay on the edge of the dark forest when Lajos von Lázár, the translucent child with water-blue eyes, first glimpsed the man he would believe to be his father for his whole life and beyond.
Lajos von Lázár is brought into this world with the dawn of the new century, and his birth is both a miracle and a curse, his true patrimony a secret he will never know. The Lázárs have ruled their Hungarian lands for generations. In their ancient castle by the edge of a dark forest that compels all who enter it to madness, they succumb to every vice and live only to satiate their desires. But the old order is crumbling, and the days of the Hapsburg Monarchy are numbered.
When Lajos inherits, they at last have a baron who can reignite the old splendours, but not even his abilities are proof against the ravages of war and occupation. It will fall to his children - a boy who talks to shadows and a girl who eschews her blue blood - to find a way to stand against oppression and take the first faltering steps towards freedom.
Braving The Storm
I’m not supposed to feel this way…
To my family, I’m only useful for one thing: my surname. I’m Briar Lane. My father’s chess piece. A pawn to be traded.
But all it took was a dirty secret stuffed in a jacket pocket to unravel my world and send me running to the one place I knew they would never find me: Crimson Ridge.
I thought I’d be starting over alone. I never expected to find my father’s adopted brother, the ex-pro bull rider who consumes my space, and now, my every thought with it… Stôrmand Lane.
All it took was one misunderstanding to change everything.
I’m not supposed to know what those tattooed hands feel like, to feel butterflies anytime that pair of piercing blue eyes meet mine.
He might be my every fantasy, but he’s a temptation I have to ignore. Long nights spent in this tiny cabin can’t be the excuse to step into forbidden territory.
Or can they?
A Murder in Eight Cocktails
Mix one old flame with a splash of suspicion for the perfect...murder.
In the seaside haven of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Willa Keane’s marriage is in a rut. As a retired interior-designer-turned-influencer, she’s sure life begins at fifty-five, whereas her husband, Marty, is more interested in watching his beloved birds.
So when Willa is invited to the opening of the chicest new cocktail bar in town, she hopes the evening will rekindle their flame. But arriving at the party, Willa is shaken to discover it’s being hosted by her charming ex-husband, Paul.
The night is thrown into even deeper chaos when the bar’s enigmatic owner is found dead on the rocks below. A suicide message suggests there’s no foul play, but Willa’s heightened senses aren’t so sure. Now she must solve the mystery together with her husband…and her ex-husband.
Can they find the killer before another victim is served their last cocktail?
I Could Read the Sky
'Think about a tune ... the unsayable, the invisible, the longing in music. Here is a book of tunes without musical notes ... It wrings the heart' John Berger'The voice that O'Grady has crafted succeeds so well ... running in parallel, Pyke's stark arresting images are laced between the paragraphs and chapters. The interplay between the two mediums is delicately powerful' Hilary White'A masterpiece' Robert Macfarlane'O'Grady does not just respond to Pyke's stark, beautiful photographs: he gives voice to thousands' Louise Kennedy'The experience of Irish emigration uniquely and powerfully illuminated' Mark Knopfler'If the words tell the story of the voiceless, the bleak lovely photographs show their faces. Fiction rarely gets as close to the messy, glorious truth as do memories and photographs. This rare novel dares to use both' Charlotte Mendelson, TLSAn old man lies alone and sleepless in London. Before dawn he is taken by an image from his childhood in the West of Ireland, and begins to remember a migrant's life. Haunted by the faces and the land he left behind, he calls forth the bars and boxing booths of England, the potato fields and building sites, the music he played and the woman he loved. Timothy O'Grady's tender, vivid prose and Steve Pyke's starkly beautiful photographs combine to make a unique work of fiction, an act of remembering suffused with loss, defiance and an unforgettable loveliness. An Irish life with echoes of the lives of unregarded migrant workers everywhere. Since it was first published in 1997, I Could Read the Sky has achieved the status of a classic.

She’s barely got her boots laced when Ren Hunter rocks up, her ex-best friend she’s been desperately avoiding since he broke her heart. Ren knows he made the biggest mistake of his life. He’s ready to grovel, but Lydia’s walls are higher than any peak they’re about to climb. So after his brother-slash-business partner shoots down his dream, he jumps at the chance for a break — and a chance to maybe, finally, win her back. Lydia is determined to keep her heart zipped up tight. But with days spent walking side by side and nights spent just inches apart, old feelings come creeping back, and in the middle of nowhere, they might just find their way back to each other.

Együtt túlélhetik a történelem legsötétebb korszakát?
A hűség összeköt - de az árulás szétszakít
Párizs, 1940. A várost elfoglalták a nácik, három fiatal varrónő a lehetőségekhez képest igyekszik élni mindennapi életét. Mireille-t megsebezte a háború: bekapcsolódik az Ellenállásba; Claire-t elcsábítja egy német tiszt; Vivienne pedig olyasmit tett, amit egyik lakótársának se mer elmondani.
Két generációval később Claire unokája Párizsba érkezik. Angliában nőtt fel, most megpróbálja feltárni, mi történt a háború alatt. Ugyanabban a házban lakik és dolgozik, mint annak idején a nagyanyja, és a tudomására jut valami: a családi múlt fájdalmas titkot rejt.
A három varrónőnek csupa rossz választással kellett szembenéznie. Nem volt kiút. Veszélybe sodorta őket az illegális tevékenység, de a végsőkig kitartottak egymás mellett. Hogyan tudták túlélni ezt a sötét, kilátástalan időszakot?
Rozkvetlá
Jedna věří ve fakta, druhá v hvězdy – obě v sílu přátelství Andrea – organizovaná, zodpovědná workoholička, nedůvěřivá realistka, úzkostlivá matka. Jolanta – nedochvilná, přirozená, otevřená umělkyně spatřující dobro v každém člověku, svobodomyslná matka. Jedna dělá vědecký průzkum před každým životním rozhodnutím – druhá věří v postavení hvězd, homeopatii a sílu přírody. Neslučitelné povahy svede dohromady konflikt jejich potomků.
Román o tom, že otevření srdce navzdory předsudkům může zasít semínko nečekaně silného přátelství. O tom, jak nás mohou v životě ovlivnit lidé, s nimiž bychom za běžných okolností prohodili sotva pár slov. O tom, že zkoušet nové věci se vyplatí. A taky o tom, že nikdy není pozdě
