The Great Good Places
'There aren't many chroniclers of our older years who do it so well, with such wit and realism and intelligence' TESSA HADLEY'I have learned so much from Margaret Drabble's work' SALLY ROONEY'Wise, elegiac' The Times'One of Britain's most dazzling writers' New York Times'Generous, perceptive and good-humoured' JOAN BAKEWELL'One of the most thought-provoking and intellectually challenging writers around' Financial TimesWe all age differently, some stoically, some angrily, some calmly, some with an unfailing spirit of adventure and an undimmed curiosityFrom one of our finest literary voices, The Great Good Places is a luminous collection of essays, stories and memoir that traverses the experience of growing older and looking back on a life deeply lived. Drawing on decades of reading, writing and observation, Margaret Drabble reflects on the complex business of ageing, the strange workings of memory - its wonders and its fragility - and on the 'great good places', the childhood homes, coastal sanctuaries and cherished libraries that shape who we are. Rich with a lifetime's worth of insight and wisdom and peppered with Drabble's trademark lucidity and wit, The Great Good Places is an elegantly layered and profoundly moving meditation on time, place and the enduring power of recollection.
A Long Dark Night
"A tense and atmospheric thriller that is just as much a tale of survival as it is one of love and devotion.”—Kimi Cunningham Grant, USA Today bestselling author of The Nature of DisappearingA young chef returns home to find her small town caught in the snare of an oil company. Her brother witnesses a chilling crime at the drilling site, and their attempts to bring justice are met with fierce opposition in this engrossing thriller. After her restaurant closes and she returns to her childhood home, deep in the Alaskan wilderness, Nina has one goal: finding a way back out. Her family’s sled-dog business is struggling, and she is alarmed that her brother Grant is working at the nearby oil field. Grant comes home one day extremely unsettled by his involvement in disturbing events at work. The supervisor on duty orchestrated a suspiciously seamless coverup of a deadly accident, leading both siblings to wonder if the past disappearances of field workers are more than a coincidence. Grant wants to forget the whole thing ever happened—the oil rig is the only source of employment that pays enough to keep their family afloat, and he doesn’t want to risk any jail time. But Nina can’t let this lie. The opportunity to uncover the truth about the disappearances and protect her family from increasing threats is too important. What starts as an attempt to unravel the mystery leads Nina, Grant, and their loved ones directly into the path of those determined to keep them silent no matter the cost. Lilli Sutton returns with another atmospheric and captivating thriller in A Long Dark Night. Her debut novel, Running Out of Air, was called “an adventure worth taking,” “packed full of tension [and] heart.” Prepare to be left breathless again.

Femme Feral
EVER FELT READY TO HOWL?
Hyper-competent start up CFO Ellie is 46-year-old and like most women, is already juggling too much. Daughter's not talking to her, husband's not listening to her, and she's got a promotion coming up at work. It's an inconvenient time to be beset by mid-life symptoms: coarse hair in new places, hot flushes, insomnia, losing time . . . finding bloodstains on all her clothing, howling at the moon.
Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.
Suddenly the troubles in her life - hot flushes, thankless family, spiralling to-do list, oblivious husband, the w*nker promoted above her at work - seem almost . . . bite-size.
A deeply gratifying, highly addictive and provocative read, Femme Feral is an exhilarating expression of feminine rage, with a warning: If you swallow your anger, it's sure to come back with a bite.

Sinners Anonymous
She's seeking redemption. He's determined to ruin her.
My name is Rory Carter, and I do bad things.
I might smile like an angel, but underneath, my soul is far from clean.
Not even my weekly calls to the Sinners Anonymous hotline can change that.
Marrying the seventy-year-old head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father was the closest I've come to doing good.
And I was surviving - one lie, one smile, one silk dress at a time - until his nephew showed up uninvited.
Angelo "Vicious" Visconti. A beautiful monster with a sharper tongue than conscience. They say he went straight years ago, but I don't believe it.
Because Angelo is danger wrapped in desire - and when he looks at me, I can't tell if he wants to ruin me or save me.

Because the second her muddy boots stomped down the stairs of the club, my empire began to crack.
My cashmere charm is fraying. My gentleman's mask is slipping. My enemies can smell the weakness. Penny Price thinks she's dragging me to hell.
But she doesn't realise - hell's exactly where I belong.
After all, it's wonderfully warm among the flames…
Ako zniesť zo sveta upíra
Napínavý triler z deväťdesiatych rokov, plný záhad a južanského šarmu, v ktorom sa realita prelína s nadprirodzenom.
Patricia Campbellová mala pred sebou sľubnú budúcnosť, no odkedy sa vzdala kariéry zdravotnej sestry a stala sa matkou, život sa jej nikdy nezdal fádnejší. Dni sú dlhé, deti sú nevďačné, manžel je odmeraný a zoznam povinností nekonečný. Jej jedinou oázou šťastia je čitateľský klub, ktorý tvoria ženy zdieľajúce rovnakú vášeň pre skutočné zločiny a napínavé romány. Na svojich stretnutiach pritom diskutujú skôr o federálnom obliehaní vo Waco, než o manželských krízach a materstve.
Jedného dňa sa do susedstva prisťahuje príťažlivý a umelecky nadaný James Harris, ktorý zaujme členky knižného klubu – a okúzli aj samotnú Patriciu. Prežíva pri ňom veci, ktoré už roky nezažila, no je na ňom čosi zvláštne. Keď začnú miznúť miestne deti a polícia je bezradná, Patricia nadobudne znepokojivé podozrenie. Pustí sa do vyšetrovania na vlastnú päsť, presvedčená, že ide o ďalšieho Jeffreyho Dahmera či Teda Bundyho. Lenže to, čo odhalí, je oveľa desivejšie. Čoskoro sa ukáže, že ona a jej priateľky z knižného klubu sú jedinou prekážkou medzi nič netušiacou komunitou, a monštrom, ktoré vpustili do svojich domovov.

When six struggling authors are invited to Fletch's private Scottish island and presented with the opportunity of a lifetime, the plot thickens: whoever writes a worthy ending will receive a game-changing book deal and two million dollars.
Why have they been chosen to attend? Who is behind the invitation? And just how far would they go to secure a place on the bestseller list?

Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder.
Hogyan fejezzünk be egy szerelmi történetet
Helen Zhang azóta nem találkozott Grant Sheparddel, hogy tizenhárom évvel korábban egy tragikus baleset örökre összekötötte az életüket. Teljesül egy álma, amikor bekerül népszerű ifjúságiregény-sorozata tévés adaptációjának írói közé.
Grant mindent megtett annak érdekében, hogy túllépjen a múltján. Tudja, hogy nem kellett volna elvállalnia a munkát Helen műsorában, csakhogy ez a lehetőség olyan ajtókat nyithat meg előtte, amiknek segítségével a saját projektjeit is kibontakoztathatja.
Grant pontosan olyan, amilyennek Helen emlékszik rá: vicces, népszerű és szerethető. Helen is olyan, amilyennek Grant mindig is látta: zseniális, gyönyörű és zárkózott. Csakhogy a közös munka kaotikus és felvillanyozó, ráadásul Helen szülei azt sem tudják, hogy a férfi visszatért a lányuk életébe.
Amikor titkokra derül fény, a párosnak el kell fogadnia, hogy a kapcsolatukból nem születhet szerelmi történet. De mégis… talán pont abban rejlik a kulcs, hogy megbékéljenek a múltjukkal, ha összekapaszkodnak a jelenben.
Képesek lesznek vajon új befejezést írni a történetüknek?

The Halter
Combining the inventive worldbuilding of Philip K. Dick and the elegiac longing of Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye and for fans of Ready Player One and Rabbits, The Halter by Darby McDevitt (lead writer for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag) is a debut sci-fi novel that fuses cyber-noir, psychological suspense, and high-concept speculation in a breakneck search for truth inside a utopian metaverse on the verge of collapseIn a world where virtual addiction kills, Kennedy Stark is paid to pull the plug. A professional halter—part detective, part counselor—he trawls the world’s darkest surrogate-reality feeds in search of the lost. When he isn’t working, he’s dreaming of a one-way ticket to Mars, where a new colony has been established as a hopeful alternative to an Earth in the early stages of climate collapse. One evening, after a botched rescue attempt, a mysterious client offers Kennedy a tantalizing new case: brilliant software engineer Delia Walsh, who Kennedy fell in love with years ago, has disappeared inside a surrogate reality project called The Forum. Entering under an assumed identity, Kennedy finds a simulation unlike any other. The Forum bills itself as a tool for cutting-edge scientific research and radical philosophical investigations, but the signs of its corruption are everywhere. As Kennedy investigates, he learns Delia had been working on a new simulation that could upend The Forum’s primary purpose, and that even in this prurient playground for the super wealthy, the dangers are very real. Brimming with black humor, hardboiled attitude, and a cast of endearing misfits lost in brittle fantasies, The Halter introduces a charismatic detective and heralds a unique and assured new voice in sci-fi crime.
