Murder at Vigna D’Oro
Nico Doyle, former NYPD detective, now feels at home in his late wife's sun-drenched Tuscan hometown, spending his days helping at the family trattoria. But Gravigna is thrown off balance by the arrival of Michele Mantelli, an influential wine critic who can make or break local businesses, and he seems to have it in for the vineyards belonging to Aldo, Nico's landlord. When Mantelli is poisoned, the local police have the headache of a high-profile murder on their hands, and Nico is called in to help. But narrowing down the pool of suspects will mean untangling the roots of local rivalries that go deeper than anyone expects. First published as The Bitter Taste of Murder
The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective
At Marigold Cottages, landlady Mrs B only rents to favoured tenants, and they're an eccentric (read: odd, slightly broken) bunch. There is anxious playwright Sophie, agoraphobe Hamilton, single mum and sculptor Ocean, perfectionist Lily-Ann, and the mysterious Nicholas. Their quirky community is upended when ex-con Anthony moves in and a dead body turns up on their doorstep shortly after. The police arrest Anthony, but Mrs B, convinced of his innocence, confesses instead. Horrified, her tenants form the 'Marigold Cottages Murder Collective' to clear her name. When a second body appears, they discover every resident has something to hide - and the killer may be closer than they think.

I Want To Go Home But I'm Already There
Renting is a nightmare...Áine should be feeling happy with her life. She’s just moved in with Elliot. Their new flat is in an affluent neighbourhood, surrounded by bakeries, yoga studios and organic vegetable shops. They even have a garden. And yet, from the moment they move in, Áine can''t shake the sense that there''s something not quite right about the place...It''s not just the humourless estate agent and nameless landlord: it''s the chill that seeps through the draughty windows; the damp spreading from the cellar door; the way the organic fruit and veg never lasts as long as it should. And most of all, it''s the upstairs neighbours, whose very presence makes peaceful coexistence very difficult indeed.The longer Áine spends inside the flat - pretending to work from home; dissecting messages from the friends whose lives seem to have moved on without her - the less it feels like home. And as Áine fixates on the cracks in the ceiling, it becomes harder to ignore the cracks in her relationship with Elliott...Brilliantly observed and darkly funny, I Want to Go Home But I’m Already There is a ghost story set in the rental crisis. A wonderfully clear-eyed portrait of loneliness, loss and belonging, it examines what it means to feel at home.''Absorbing and eerie ... Full of wry observations about the status markers of modern life ... A hugely enjoyable portrait of the horrors of renting'' Sunday Times''A brilliant satire of London''s horrific housing market ...

Nova Scotia House
FINALIST FOR THE LAMBDA LITERARY PRIZE 2026A FOYLES AND GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEARSHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE‘A work of genius’ Philip Hoare‘One of the best things I’ve read in many many years’ Hilton Als'Beautifully provocative' Eimear McBrideA story of loss and grief, sex and love, and refusing to relinquish dreamsHe said he would understand if it was too much for me, that I could leave him, that I was young, I should be living, I said to him, I am living. Johnny Grant faces stark life decisions. Seeking answers, he looks back to his relationship with Jerry Field. When they met, nearly thirty years ago, Johnny was 19, Jerry was 45. They fell in love and made a life on their own terms in Jerry’s flat: 1, Nova Scotia House. Johnny is still there today – but Jerry is gone, and so is the world they knew. As Johnny’s mind travels between then and now, he begins to remember stories of Jerry’s youth: of experiments in living; of radical philosophies; of the many possibilities of love, sex and friendship before the AIDS crisis devastated the queer community. Slowly, he realizes what he must do next—and attempts to restore ways of being that could be lost forever. Nova Scotia House takes us to the heart of a relationship, a community and an era. It is both a love story and a lament; bearing witness to the enduring pain of the AIDS pandemic and honouring the joys and creativity of queer life. Intimate, visionary, and profoundly original, it marks the debut of a vibrant new voice in contemporary fiction, and a writer with a liberating new story to tell.
Vikings in North America
It was the Vikings, not Christopher Columbus, who made the first European discovery of America. It was the Vikings, not the Pilgrim Fathers, who were the first Europeans settlers in America, and it was probably the Vikings who first used the name America. Around a thousand years ago the Vikings crossed the North Atlantic and established their settlements on the American continent. Yet today both Europe and North America treat the Vikings in North America as if it were no more than a curious footnote to their histories – as if the Vikings made just a handful of voyages with little impact. This book challenges this outdated view. We now know that the Vikings travelled widely in North America, both on the east coast and in the high Arctic and Hudson Bay. Today we realise that Viking presence in America lasted nearly five centuries, and its legacy inspired much of the post-Columban exploration of North America.
Murder at the Colosseum
1900. Archaeologist Abigail Wilson returns to the Eternal City as a guest speaker for a festival on Classical Rome, although she also hopes the trip will be a well-earned holiday for herself and her husband, private investigator Daniel Wilson. However, the bloody history of the ancient arena seeps into the present with the violent murder of one of Abigail's colleagues and his wife at the Colosseum itself. Moving from the Forum to the Spanish Steps, Rome is suddenly the backdrop of another investigation for the Museum Detectives who clash with local authorities and a rising mafia influence in a race to uncover the truth.
The Age of Diagnosis
From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good? The boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn.
Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be 'normal'. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they're even born. And increased health screening draws more and more people into believing they are unwell.
An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren't as definitive as we think. And in some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients.
Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr. Suzanne O'Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and reframes how we think about illness and health.
Clothes to Make You Smile
Clothes to Make You Smile is a picture book biography about Patrick Kelly, one of fashion’s most influential Black designers, joyously told by fashion expert and educator Eric Darnell Pritchard and beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Shannon Wright. Patrick Kelly was one of the most influential fashion designers of the twentieth century, but growing up in Vicksburg, Mississippi, he didn’t see many boys who liked to sew. That didn’t stop him from sitting down at his grandma’s table and picking up a needle and thread. Patrick loved the way clothes could make someone feel their best, and he dreamed of creating designs full of joy and whimsy. Those dreams brought him to some of the biggest cities in the world, but when he got there, he was told that his clothes were too vibrant, too tacky, and too much! When the fashion world rejected his designs, Patrick just laughed and carried right on working. He created clothes for people like him, outsiders who didn’t grow up fitting in but weren’t afraid to stand out. He filled his designs with love, and when the world finally recognized his talent, they couldn’t help but smile.
Honeysuckle
Once upon a time, on the edge of a forest, there was a lonely child with only his older sister for company. So his sister made him a playmate — Daye, a girl woven from carefully selected flowers and words. And finally, this boy, Rory, had a friend.
Rory is gloriously happy, until he learns that Daye is a seasonal creature. At the end of each season, she must be woven back together or fall gruesomely apart. And when, one autumn, his sister fails to return home from university in time, Rory has no choice but to watch his best friend slowly crumble, not knowing until the last second if she can be pieced together again.
Realizing he can no longer rely on his sister to keep Daye alive, Rory determines he must leave home to learn how to do it himself. And the more he learns, the more he starts to wonder: Why can’t Daye survive more than one season? Can he do anything to break this cycle of bloom and decay? But as Rory grows older, his thoughts turn darker too . . . While Rory sinks deeper into research and experiments, ensconced in libraries and hunched in university labs, Daye is left to wait for his return. Alone.
Sometimes, the silence seems to seep all the way to her branch-bones. Sometimes, the company of birds is the only thing to remind her that she is still alive. And as Rory keeps pushing his experiments further and further, Daye starts to wonder – how far is too far?

Dům ticha
Uprostřed smrtících bažin stojí ukrytý Dům ticha. Poslední naděje pro všechny děti, u kterých procedura vyvolala schopnosti příliš strašlivé, než aby se s nimi dalo žít. Nikdo neví, co se děje za jeho zdmi, jak probíhá léčba nebo kam potom děti půjdou.
Birdie podstoupila všelicos, aby se do Domu ticha vetřela jako služebná. Právě sem totiž vedou poslední stopy její mladší sestry Magpie. Dům ale vůbec není takový, jaký čekala. Místo zubožených dětí, které podstoupily proceduru v naději, že tak zaopatří své chudé rodiny, se to tu hemží aristokratickými teenagery s podivnými schopnostmi. A Magpie nikde.
Kam se její sestra poděla? A co má za lubem přízračná Paní domu? Birdie chce přijít pravdě na kloub, ale musí si dát pozor – nebezpečí číhá na každém kroku, a jakmile vás dům jednou umlčí, zmlknete navždy...
