Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder "Steeped in atmosphere, with skillful plotting and intriguing characterization." —Booklist 'The death was an odd one, it was true; but there was after all no very clear reason to assume it was anything but natural.' In the winter of 1942, England lies cold and dark in the wartime blackout. One bleak evening, Councillor Grayling steps off the 6.12 from Euston, carrying £120 in cash, and oblivious to the fate that awaits him in the snow-covered suburbs. Inspector Holly draws up a list of Grayling's fellow passengers: his distrusted employee Charles Evetts, the charming Hugh Rolandson, and an unknown refugee from Nazi Germany, among others. Inspector Holly will soon discover that each passenger harbours their own dark secrets, and that the councillor had more than one enemy among them. First published in 1943, Raymond Postgate's wartime murder mystery combines thrilling detection with rich characters and a fascinating depiction of life on the home front.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “[E]ssential reading for our dismal times.” —The Wall Street Journal One of Bustle’s “Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2020” PopSugar’s “26 Incredible New Books Coming Your Way This August” Good Housekeeping’s “25 New Fall Books You Have to Read This Season” Lit Hub’s “Most Anticipated Books of 2020” Fleabag meets Conversations with Friends in this brutally honest, observant, original novel about a woman going through a breakup…but really having more of a breakdown. Jenny McLaine’s life is falling apart. Her friendships are flagging. Her body has failed her. She’s just lost her column at The Foof because she isn’t the fierce voice new feminism needs. Her ex has gotten together with another woman. And worst of all: Jenny’s mother is about to move in. Having left home at eighteen to remake herself as a self-sufficient millennial, Jenny is now in her thirties and nothing is as she thought it would be. Least of all adulthood. Told in live-wire prose, texts, emails, script dialogue, and social media messages, Grown Ups is a neurotic dramedy of 21st-century manners for the digital age. It reckons with what it means to exist in a woman’s body: to sing and dance and work and mother and sparkle and equalize and not complain and be beautiful and love your imperfections and stay strong and show your vulnerability and bake and box… But, despite our impossible expectations of women, Emma Jane Unsworth never lets Jenny off the hook. Jenny’s life is falling apart at her own hands and whether or not she has help from her mother or her friends, Jenny is the only one who will be able to pick up the pieces and learn how to, more or less, grow up. Or will she?

"Heidi, I want you to think real hard. This is very important. You know the man you met in the backyard today? "Yeah, Mr. Gordy." "Have you ever seen him before?" "No ma'am," Heidi said, "But he promised me he'd come back. He promised to push me on the swing." Stunned, Lisa was unable to go on with her questioning. He promised me he'd come back. Chilling words. Fear was not good, but on the other hand, having no fear could be even worse-and Heidi had no fear of this strange man and that's what disturbed Lisa most.

Joe, a disciplined and compassionate paramedic with a military background, had always followed orders. He witnessed the trials and horrors of civilian life daily, sometimes watching people die before his eyes or experiencing the miracle of bringing someone back from the brink of death. However, nothing could have prepared him for the carnage that would ensue when he was forced to turn his attention to the deadly world of 21st-century politics. Joe had survived life on the front lines as a soldier and understood that people were rarely entirely good or bad. He realized that personal biases and prejudices often colored one’s perspective. Content to go with the flow and live a quiet life, everything changed when he met the love of his life, Emma Lomax. Her vibrant spirit and sense of purpose compelled him to become more involved and question the decisions made by those in power that so adversely affected the lives of ordinary people. In turbulent times, with London on the brink of a dictatorship, Joe found himself caught in the middle of a political upheaval. As people died, he took on the roles of victim, chronicler, and detective, trying to unravel whether the violence was orchestrated by someone in a position of power who saw him as a threat or the work of a madman on a vendetta mission. Thrust into the heart of a deadly political game, Joe must navigate a treacherous landscape where the line between sanity and lunacy is increasingly blurred.

This tale of murder at a snowed-in country house is a “constant puzzle to the end . . . alive with wit” (The New York Times). The unspeakably wealthy (and generally unspeakable) Jonathan Royal has decided to throw a party and, just for fun, has studded the guest list with people who loathe one another. When a blizzard imprisons them all in Royal’s country house, murder ensues, and there are nearly as many suspects as there are potential victims. Eventually, Inspector Alleyn makes his way through the snow to put things right, in this classic whodunit by the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master. “A smooth yarn.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

During her years spent in New York City. Faith Fairchild was convinced she had seen pretty much everything, but the transplanted caterer/minister's wife was unprepared for the surprises awaiting her in the sleepy Massachusetts village of Aleford. She is especially taken aback by the dead body of a pretty young thing she discovers stashed in the church's belfry. The victim, Cindy Shepherd. was well-known locally for her acid tongue and her jilted beaux, which created a lot of bad blood and more than a few possible perpetrators, including her luckless fiance, who had neither an alibi nor a better way to break off the engagement. Faith thinks it's terribly unfair that the police have zeroed in on the hapless boyfriend, and so she sets out to uncover the truth, but digging too deeply into the sordid secrets of a small New England village tends to make the natives nervous. And an overly curious big city lady can become just another small town death statistic in very short order.
