Body Count
Serial killer Saffy Huntley-Oliver's life is going great.
She's got a fabulous new boyfriend, Jonathan. She has literally got away with murder. And now that she's no longer single, she can get back to her favourite hobby: killing bad men.
Particularly Sir Thomas West, a children's TV star who truly deserves to die.
But there are a few little snags. For one, her beloved sister Susie is still dating that insufferable Finlay. For another, Sir Thomas has a very large bodyguard. And Jonathan himself has given up his job investigating true crime, despite all the tempting corpses that Saffy keeps putting in his way.
All of this would be easy to ignore in the flush of new love. Except Saffy's never been in love before, and it's weird. She's having difficulty separating romance from homicide. Especially when someone discovers Saffy's secret hobby and starts sending Jonathan coded messages about her crimes.
Is someone trying to break them up? Or trying to hunt her down?

Gardens That Can Save the World
An exploration of the many ways in which green spaces can be the solution to some of our most pressing problems, from loneliness to climate change. Gardens and green spaces are at the vanguard of positive change. They are modern-day crucibles for ideas and innovation that are providing solutions to some of our most persistent problems, whether loneliness or illness, flooding or drought.
Around the world, green-fingered thinkers and pioneering plants-people are harnessing the power of the wild to quietly find small-scale strategies to reverse these ills. It’s no longer just about aesthetics, but about what the great outdoors can do – save water, transform mental health, bridge social divides, educate vulnerable children, reimagine polluting industries and provide much reason for optimism in a rapidly changing world. Celebrating both the garden and gardener as integral players in a healthier future this book presents a series of strategies that will help the reader reevaluate the potential that lies in green spaces near them by looking at how they have been applied in gardens around the world.
Sixty-five projects demonstrate how gardens can repair, heal, empower, nourish and reimagine, whilst an easy-to-read coloured code links each project to others in the book that solve a similar problem, whether soil health, education or pollution. Profiles of ten Green Thinkers dotted throughout delve more deeply into the inspiring work that these pioneers are leading. A glossary of plants, materials and techniques at the back of book encourages readers to apply the lessons learnt in their own garden, be that a windowsill or an acre.

The Opium War
In The Opium War, professor of Modern Chinese History and Literature Julia Lovell offers a compelling account of the causes and fallout of the Opium Wars. In October 1839, Britain entered the first Opium War with China. Its brutality notwithstanding, the conflict was also threaded with tragicomedy: with Victorian hypocrisy, bureaucratic fumblings, military missteps, political opportunism and collaboration.
Yet over the past hundred and seventy years, this strange tale of misunderstanding, incompetence and compromise has become the founding episode of modern Chinese nationalism. Starting from this first conflict, The Opium War explores how China’s national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present, and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West.

imPerfect Magic
Winner of the PenCraft Literary Award, the Best Indie Book Award, the Audiobook Reviewer Award, and the American Legacy Book Award. After hundreds of years of dying, you’d think I’d be better at it by now…One moment, I’m a heretical priest in the twelfth century—hunted, hated, and on fire. Next, I’m waking up in the nearest corpse, stuck in an endless cycle of instant reincarnation, popping back up like a tarnished penny. Fast-forward eight hundred years, and you’d assume I’ve learnt something useful. Spoiler: I haven’t. Unless you count “how to die often and dramatically” as a transferable skill. Now, my territory in the South of France is under threat; I’m trapped by some impossible angel-forged runes, and the celestial choir seems to have swapped their halos for red lightsabres. If they’ve gone full dark side, reality itself might be next on the chopping block. I need to figure out who’s behind this—and fast. Because dying’s always been my thing... but you can’t reincarnate if there’s nothing left to come back to. imPerfect Magic is the first book in the best-selling imPerfect Cathar series, a darkly funny supernatural suspense packed with immortal heretics, divine disasters, and death with a punchline. If you can’t wisecrack while death is on the line? Well... maybe you're not dying right. Contains strong language, dark humour, and graphic violence. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for The imPerfect Cathar Series:? Humor, horror, and heroism, Perfectly blended together. ? Franky was entertaining as hell…? If this is CN Rowan's first book, then watch out literary world. ? An intriguing world that drew me in by the first page. ? Read it. If you like Shayne Silvers... you will like this. ? It's Jim Butcher's Dresden... after he's grown up some.

When Sophie begins an affair with Aoife's best friend, Michael, a man twenty-five years her senior, tensions escalate further, threatening to eclipse the fact that lives are at stake. Aoife is the nurse we'd all want. Compassionate to the core. She's the nicest, kindest nurse in the world. Until she is tested to the limit . . . Fearless, fast-paced and darkly funny, Killing Me Softly is a jaw-dropping novel about the hidden extremes of nursing and three complex women who hold the lives of their patients - and each other - in their hands.
Matisse - World of Art
A richly illustrated survey of Matisse's impact on modern art that also examines his career, techniques, aesthetics and stages of artistic development.
The work of Henri Matisse has been both a profound inspiration to his successors and a source of infinite enjoyment to all who love art. Yet the apparent spontaneity of his colour and ease of imagery were the fruit of a lifetime's arduous labour; the simplicity of his compositions the result of a formidable intelligence. In this richly illustrated study, Lawrence Gowing takes us through Matisse's career, assessing his influence on the art that has followed him and looking closely at Matisse's own achievements. The detailed discussion of individual works reveal the subtlety and complexity of one of the greatest masters of all time.
