The Party to End All Parties
***** Readers LOVE TO HATE the Morlands! ***** “I now feel like I need a bath and a long lie down…” “If ever there was a warning not to do drugs, this novel is it” "What in the Saltburn did I just read?" “A master class in family dysfunction” “Oh my God what in the what?” "Gloriously deranged. And yes, the goat absolutely steals the show" The disgustingly rich and grossly dysfunctional Morland siblings are throwing one of their infamous parties, before it's decided which one of them will take over their ancestral family home. Despite their rivalry, Kassie, Caitlin, Paul and Steven are determined it's going to be a night to remember. But by the morning, one of their guests isn't just hungover: they're dead. The Morlands each have a motive, and they all have dubious morals. But which of them is actually a murderer? While all of them suspect the others, the siblings face a choice: call the police (but risk investigation into their other illegal dealings) or work together to hide the body in the wine cellar. They choose badly. Unfortunately, teamwork doesn't come naturally to this family. With Grandma on her way and the inheritance decision looming, old traumas re-surface and new threats start to claw their way out of the shadows… Who will survive until the afterparty? ***** More reader reactions! ***** “Family drama so toxic it should come with a biohazard label. […] Characters you love to hate: petty, venomous, and so self-absorbed they’d probably step over your body on the way to brunch”

Check items off your running bucket list like:· Join a running club; · Get a gait analysis; · Participate in your local parkrun; · Conquer the Great Wall Marathon; · Run on the Roger Bannister Track in Oxford; · Become a race volunteer; · And so much more!In this book, you'll find over 100 bucket list items, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the deeply challenging to the whimsical. Pick and choose from among these adventures or work your way through the list one by one. Either way, you can be sure to banish boredom from your running.
La Dolce Veto
A bold and emotionally resonant romance that flips the script on scandal, and shows the power of self-discovery, redemption, and a summer of love in a small Italian town. Rising star US Congresswoman Isabella Rhodes was supposed to be making history—not headlines. But when a devastating betrayal shatters her career overnight, she flees to La Musa, a sleepy village in the heart of Umbria where the days are slow, the pasta is handmade, and no one knows her name. At Villa Farentino, Izzy hopes to start fresh, far from the relentless eyes of the world. But her plans unravel when she learns she’ll be sharing the villa with Benito Farentino, the brooding, newly elected mayor who is just as determined to save his crumbling hometown as he is unwilling to trust outsiders. As tensions grow over a controversial hotel development, Izzy is pulled into the fight for La Musa’s future… and further into Benito’s world. And soon, what began as a quiet escape becomes a chance to rebuild, to believe again, and maybe even to fall in love. Izzy now has a choice. Will she risk her second chance at happiness for the life she left behind, or stay and fight for the one she’s only just begun to imagine?

But the ending won’t write itself.Fletch’s publisher, Merriweather Press, has invited six authors to Fletch’s private island in Scotland.

And they’re about to be presented with the opportunity of a lifetime.Whoever writes a worthy ending will receive one million dollars, and a further one million dollars for a new three-book contract.They have just seventy-two hours, with no access to the outside world, just a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write…Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder. *‘Agatha Christie''s And Then There Were None meets Yellowface… Great fun!’ Kate Mosse‘A great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry’ Karin Slaughter‘Fiendishly clever and compulsively readable… An absolute must read’ Ellery Lloyd‘Funny, razor sharp and scarily relatable’ Sarah Crossan

Like a Cat Loves a Bird
'This is a deeply stylish, astute and illuminating biography of a fascinating writer'FRANCESCA WADE, author of Square Haunting'Utterly charming. A book as elegant, sharp-witted and mischievous as its subject'CLARE POLLARD, author of Delphi'She was, if you believe what you read in the papers: a genius, a survivor, a bad mother, a fickle friend, a closeted lesbian, a tyrant, a loner, an eccentric, a recluse, a gossip, and an arch-manipulator. She would politely encourage you not to believe what you read in the papers.'Muriel Spark was one of literature's great shapeshifters. That mercurial quality is found in her strange, brilliant, cruel novels - with their plots featuring pensioners receiving telephone calls from Death, the devil going clubbing in Peckham and a fascist schoolmistress leading her coterie of girls astray - but it is also true of her as a person. As sly, nimble and elegant as Spark's own work, Like a Cat Loves a Bird is a thrilling new perspective on a remarkable life and career that spanned much of the twentieth century. From her childhood in Edinburgh to her final years in Tuscany - via South Africa, London, New York and Rome - it traces a light-footed journey around the world and through her strange and magnificent bibliography. It tells an irresistible story of transformation, wit and fierce determination and makes a passionate case for this vital modern artist. 'You don't have to be a Muriel Spark fan to enjoy the sharp wit of Like a Cat Loves a Bird, a fascinating and nuanced exploration of the sacrifices some make to focus on their art'LUKE TURNER, author of Out of the Woods'Vital, fun and immediate . . . full of engaging and astute literary analysis of Spark's work as well as scintillating, vivid biography'FRANCESCA REECE, author of Glass Houses'A readable and fascinating book, about an under-appreciated literary giantLUCINDA HAWKSLEY, author of The Mystery of Princess Louise

Intimate Audrey
'I came to realise my mother was a lioness. She was soft and strong at the same time and had the gentlest of hearts.' - Sean Hepburn Ferrer
The deeply personal, official biography of Audrey Hepburn, full of untold stories exclusive photos and cherish memories from her son Sean Hepburn Ferrer, one of the people who knew her best.
Audrey Hepburn was many things. She was a child survivor of the Second World War. She was a symbol of timeless style. She played a runaway princess, an eccentric socialite and a nun struggling with her faith. But perhaps her greatest contribution to the world was as a selfless humanitarian in the final years of her life.
For Sean Hepburn Ferrer, Audrey was also his mother. In INTIMATE AUDREY, he candidly recounts how the shy 'girl from across the landing' became the star we remember and love today. Featuring never-before-seen photographs and excerpts from her personal letters, this book is an intimate portrait of Audrey: as an icon, as a mother and as an altruist who drew on her own experience of hunger and suffering to advocate fiercely for children in war-torn countries.
Audrey shines in this moving portrait of a mother by her son; a visionary woman who continues to defy all expectations decades after her death.
Totally Awesome Rides
Neon Rides revisits the vibrant and often overlooked vehicles of the 1980s and 1990s, a period once dismissed by traditional collectors and now ripe for reappraisal.
Defined by wedge-shaped silhouettes, turbocharged ambition, and the unapologetic embrace of design excess, these machines were born at the crossroads of analog grit and digital possibility. From underappreciated oddities to cult classics, the cars of this era reflected a world in flux--politically, culturally, and technologically.
Neon Rides is a visual and cultural excavation of a moment when car culture broke from the past and rewired our relationship to identity, aspiration, and speed. Developed in collaboration with the Petersen Automotive Museum, the book combines archival imagery, cultural commentary, and curatorial insight to celebrate a misunderstood chapter in automotive history. It captures the spirit of an era where pop culture, performance, and personality collided, leaving behind tire marks that still matter today.
