The Shadow Sister
Following on from the bestselling The Seven Sisters and The Storm Sister, The Shadow Sister is the third book in Lucinda Riley’s spellbinding series of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the Seven Sisters constellation. Star D’Apliese, in her late twenties, is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden death of her beloved father – the elusive billionaire, named Pa Salt by his six daughters, all adopted by him from the four corners of the world. He has left each of them a clue to their true heritage, but Star – the most enigmatic of the sisters – is hesitant to step out of the safety of the close relationship she shares with her sister CeCe. In desperation, she decides to follow the first clue she has been left, which leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in London, and the start of a whole new world . . . A hundred years earlier, headstrong and independent Flora MacNichol vows she will never marry. She is happy and secure in her home in the Lake District, living close to her idol, Beatrix Potter. But, when machinations outside of her control lead her to the London home of one of Edwardian society’s most notorious players, Flora is pulled between passionate love and duty to her family. But she finds herself a pawn in a game – the rules of which are only known to others – until a meeting with a mysterious gentleman unveils the answers that Flora has been searching for her whole life . . . As Star learns more of Flora’s incredible journey, she too goes on a voyage of discovery, finally stepping out of the shadow of her sister and opening herself up to the possibility of love. **The story will continue in Orlando . . .

The Lost Voices of Pompeii
We all know how the people of Pompeii died. But what about how they lived?
In 24 hours, Pompeii will vanish.
The morning of the eruption was a day like any other. Julia Felix opens her tavern for another day of business, defying every convention that says a woman can't succeed alone. Petrinus, newly freed from slavery, wrestles with an impossible decision about his future. Politician Gaius Cuspius Pansa prepares to host the Plebian Games, a spectacle that will cement his power forever.
In 24 hours, seven lives will change forever.
Drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, Dr Jess Venner brings the ancient streets to life through the eyes of those who lived, worked, loved and ultimately met their fate in Pompeii. Here is a community more complex, diverse and human than we ever imagined.
Pompeii is remembered for its destruction, but here we discover the vibrant lives that came before. Richly evocative and immersive, The Lost Voices of Pompeii vividly recreates the final twenty-four hours before the eruption, reminding us exactly what – and who – was lost in 79 AD.
This is the story of everything, and everyone, that was lost.
For anyone who has ever walked the ruins of Pompeii and wondered what lives beneath the ash, this is the book that answers that question.
Kaland és feladványok - A titkok múzeuma
Készülj fel egy éjszakai kalandra a Régiségek Múzeumában, ahol a Talányos család oldalán 182 trükkös rejtvényen keresztül kell feltárnod a kiállított kincsek között megbújó titkokat! A család egy felejthetetlen napot tölt a múzeumban, ám annyira elmerülnek a kincsekben, hogy észre sem veszik a zárórát. Bent rekedve az éjszaka nem unalmas várakozással, hanem egy izgalmas nyomozással telik, miután egy rejtélyes dologra bukkannak!
Remember Me Tomorrow - Holnap is emlékezz rám
EGY ELTŰNT DIÁK. EGY REJTÉLYES NYOMOZÁS. EGY LASSAN KIBONTAKOZÓ SZERELEM.
Az East House a campus legrégebbi és legkevésbé népszerű kollégiuma, de az elsőéves, magányos Aleeza Kassam számára mégis vonzerővel bír: innen tűnt el öt hónappal korábban Jay Hoque, a sármos és zárkózott diák. Egy feltörekvő oknyomozó újságírónak, mint amilyen Aleeza, ez ellenállhatatlan rejtély.
Amikor azonban elkezd üzeneteket kapni Jaytől, a titok váratlan fordulatot vesz – ugyanis az üzenetek nemcsak Aleeza saját kollégiumi szobájából érkeznek, hanem egyenesen a múltból, mindössze hetekkel Jay eltűnése előttről.
Aleeza és Jay ugyanabban a térben – de más időben – megtapasztalják a lehetetlent, és együtt próbálják megakadályozni a fiú eltűnését. Egy időparadoxon, ami az univerzum pusztulásával fenyeget, olyan kockázat, amit vállalniuk kell.
Aleeza Jay gyanús barátai, ellenségei és exei nyomába ered, hogy kiderítse, mi történt a fiúval. Vagy mi fog történni. A helyzet azonban tovább bonyolódik, amikor Aleeza érzéseket kezd táplálni elbűvölő új lakótársa iránt – bárhol és bármikor is legyen ő…
„Mind a krimik, mind az időutazós történetek rajongóinak elnyeri a tetszését.” – The Book Decoder blog

MÁR MEGINT TE?! Hát nem értesz a szóból?
IGEN, jól emlékszel, minden idők legnagyobb szörnyvadásza áll előtted. NEM, eszemben sincs mesélni arról az esetről, amikor Patkival meg Borzassal üldözőbe vettünk egy szélhámos szörnyvadászt, és közben ujjpercfaló szarumajszákkal meg jégleheletű tabuárokkal harcoltunk.
Úgyhogy tedd szépen vissza ezt a könyvet a polcra, és TŰZZ INNEN!
Nora ismét veszélyes kalandra indul, hogy megtalálja eltűnt barátját, bár arra nem számít, hogy a gyerekek titokban csatlakoznak hozzá. Vajon a tökéletlen triónak sikerül megállítania a gonosztevőt, mielőtt késő lenne?

Welcome to Murder Week
In this delightfully funny and heartfelt new novel from the author of the “bittersweet page-turner” (The New York Times) The Last Book Party, an American woman travels to the English countryside when she discovers tickets her late mother had purchased for a murder mystery simulation in a small British town. When thirty-four-year-old Cath loses her mostly absentee mother, she is ambivalent. With days of quiet, unassuming routine in Buffalo, New York, Cath consciously avoids the impulsive, thrill-seeking lifestyle that her mother once led. But when she’s forced to go through her mother’s things one afternoon, Cath is perplexed to find tickets for an upcoming “murder week” in England’s Peak District: a whole town has come together to stage a fake murder mystery to attract tourism to their quaint hamlet. Baffled but helplessly intrigued by her mother’s secret purchase, Cath decides to go on the trip herself—and begins a journey she never could have anticipated. Teaming up with her two cottage-mates, both ardent mystery lovers—Wyatt Green, who works unhappily in his husband’s birding store, and Amity Clark, a divorced romance writer struggling with her novels—Cath sets about solving the “crime” and begins to unravel shocking truths about her mother along the way. Amidst a fling—or something more—with the handsome local maker of artisanal gin, Cath and her irresistible charming fellow sleuths will find this week of fake murder may help them face up to a very real crossroads in their own lives. “Full of intrigue and adventure, charm and heart” (Amy Poeppel, author of The Sweet Spot), Welcome to Murder Week is a fresh, inventive twist on the murder mystery and a touching portrayal of one daughter’s reckoning with grief, her past—and her own budding sense of adventure.

Buried Secrets
In March 2017, Tina Satchwell vanished from her home in Youghal, County Cork. For six and a half years, her disappearance remained one of Ireland’s most haunting mysteries. Her husband Richard Satchwell claimed she had left with two suitcases and €26,000 in cash. Gardaí searched the house and found nothing. Journalists interviewed Richard, including one who sat unknowingly just feet from Tina’s hidden grave …This extraordinary book is the definitive account of the murder of Tina Satchwell, told by the journalist who helped expose the truth. It is a story of coercive control, deception and the quiet horror of a woman buried face down beneath her own stairs. Through exclusive interviews, Barry Cummins traces the long road to justice with forensic detail and remarkable insight – from the initial search and media appeals to the cold-case breakthrough that finally revealed Tina’s fate. Part true crime investigation, part personal reckoning, this is a powerful portrait of a woman whose voice was silenced, and of the systems that failed to hear her.

Svätý Jozef, muž ticha a dôvery
Evanjeliá o svätom Jozefovi hovoria málo, no jeho tichá vernosť nesie celé dejiny spásy. Táto kniha ponúka biblicko-duchovný pohľad na Jozefa ako spravodlivého muža, ktorý dokáže dôverovať Bohu aj v neistote a konať bez potreby slov. Sleduje jeho cestu od vnútorného zápasu cez sny a rozhodné skutky až po skrytý život v Nazarete. Ukazuje Jozefa ako ochrancu života, muža zodpovednosti a vernosti v každodennosti. Text je pozvaním započúvať sa do ticha, v ktorom Boh hovorí, a objaviť cestu dôvery a svätosti uprostred obyčajného života.
