What We Talk About On Sundays

Alexandra Appelqvist

Publisher: Aniara

Summary

Stella leaves behind the quiet familiarity of her old
life in Monte Rosa for a fresh start in Stockholm.
Moving into the apartment next door to her father's,
she dreams of starting over – of freedom, distance
from the past, and the vibrant pulse of city life.
Peter, newly divorced, is finally chasing the dream
he once set aside: opening his own neighborhood
bistro. He's looking forward to a simpler, freer life –
and maybe even love. But with Stella unexpectedly
by his side, he finds himself torn between single life
and fatherhood in a new city.

One morning, they bump into each other in the
stairwell, each with a guest from the night before.
They realize how little they really know about one
another.

To reconnect, they make a pact: Sunday lunch,
every week for a year. At each meal, they'll share
one untold truth. But are they ready to reveal
the real reasons they left everything behind in
Monte Rosa?

Lucid

C. G. Matteini

Gideon lowers his eye to the telescope lens, turns a dial, sees, collapses. Awakes concussed and rushes to the city square to announce his discovery: massive structures on another planet. Impossible without intelligence. He is burned at the stake for heresy. 
Will Lark is losing his mind. He’s obsessed with a door on a roof of the apartment building next to his in San Francisco, thinks he’s being followed, thinks the moon is swollen and likely to drop out of the sky. His dreams have been menacing and arguably prophetic. When his stalker confronts him and tells him to go to the door, he’s thrown into a mystery that crosses worlds and truly threatens his sanity. 
Lucid is about light and dark and the connection between all things. It’s about the pain that comes with severing that connection. It’s about consciousness and time and how they are fluid. It’s a love story and a war story. It’s a harrowing, physical, psycho-spiritual, interplanetary drama.

Purrfect Murder

Nic Saint

Sometimes it takes a cat to catch a killer
There’s something special about Max. He may look like your regular ginger flabby tabby, but unlike most tabbies he can communicate with his human, reporter for the Hampton Cove Gazette Odelia Poole. Max takes a keen interest in the goings-on in their small town, by snooping around with his best friends Dooley, a not-too-bright ragamuffin, and Harriet, a gorgeous white Persian. Their regular visits to the police station, the barbershop and the doctor’s office provide them with those precious and exclusive scoops that have made Odelia the number one reporter in town.
But when suddenly the body of a bestselling writer is discovered buried in the last Long Island outhouse, and a new policeman arrives in town to solve the murder, it looks like things are about to change in Hampton Cove. Detective Chase Kingsley doesn’t take kindly to nosy reporters like Odelia snooping around ‘his’ crime scene or interviewing ‘his’ suspects. And to make matters worse, he’s got a cat of his own: Brutus, a buff bully, who likes to lay down the law. Soon Brutus isn’t just restricting access to all of Max’s usual haunts, but he’s getting awfully friendly with Harriet, threatening to break up the band.
Now it’s all Odelia, Max and Dooley can do to try and solve the murder, in spite of Detective Kingsley’s and Brutus’s protestations, and show the overbearing cop and his bullyragging feline how things are done in Hampton Cove. Will Odelia find the killer before Detective Kingsley does? And will Max prevent Brutus from moving in on his territory and taking over the town? Find out in Purrfect Murder, the first book in the popular Mysteries of Max series.
