Summary

“One of the best books I’ve read.” —Amazon reviewer, five starsA jaded tabby cat suspects everyone when an elderly neighbour gets put down in this witty mystery series debut . . . After spending several months banged up in Sunny Banks rescue centre, life is looking good for Aubrey, a large tabby cat who has finally found his forever home with Molly and Jeremy. However, all that changes when a killer begins to target elderly people in the neighbourhood. Aubrey wasn’t particularly upset by some of the previous deaths—particularly that of Miss Jenkins, who enjoyed throwing stones at cats. But the latest victim, Mr Telling, was one of the good humans. Aubrey may be a pampered house pet now, but he still knows his way around the streets—and along with a few other local felines, he intends to pounce on this two-legged predator . . .

After Harry Jones takes his life in the chilling waters of Vixens Mere, not one body is found by the police rescue team, but two. 
 
"A darkly humorous and deeply moving tale of community" - Ruth Hogan 
 
Tucked away in the English countryside, the run-down marina at Vixens Mere hosts a ragtag community of houseboats whose lives are as tangled as their mooring ropes. 
 
Harry Jones’s death dredges up more than grief: a second body in the water, hidden love affairs, and old grudges. As the marina begins to reveal the truths of the past, its dwellers unify against investigators, vindictive exes, and anyone else who tries to break them. 
 
The boats of Vixens Mere brim with secrets… A marriage broken by war, a guilty lover returning, a ramshackle haven for aging hippies, a newcomer chasing a better life, a home haunted by addiction, and a loyal outcast whose devotion turns deadly. 
 
Step aboard and lose yourself in the secrets, betrayals, and unbreakable ties of a small community.

People come to the guest house for fresh air and views across the Atlantic. But if they're lucky, they might just leave with the second chance they didn't know they needed... 
 
Esme has run the guest house for as long as anyone in Ballycove can remember. But in her declining years, her sight is failing, and when she has a fall on the eve of the summer season, she is forced to take a back seat for the first time in her life. 
 
From her chair in the entry hall, not much passes Esme by. There's Cora, the wife visiting indefinitely... without her husband; Niamh, the city professional with a life-changing decision to make; and Phyllie, the grandmother whose family is slipping away from her. 
 
Esme's guests provide the colour that helps her keep her grip on the world. All of them have something they want to escape – or to hold on to. But can Esme help them find their way before the summer is over? 
 
From bestselling Irish writer Faith Hogan comes a new, uplifting story about discovering love, friendship and the healing power of the Irish sea air. It will charm fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Heidi Swain and Susanne O'Leary.

This book wrote itself.  
The symbols you're about to encounter don't correspond to reality. If you find similarities, they're yours alone, birthed by the twisted logic of your imagination. This books isn't for you - it's about you. You, the reader, the listener, the doubter, whose brain insists on making sense of the nonsense. 
Everything in this book - the voices, the stories, the dreams - is an artifact of the mind's detritus. coincidence reigns, relentless and unyielding, its throne bolstered by the mirage of meaning we all crave. Like the faint violinist on the platform of South Kensington, drawing a crowd of ghosts with no bodies, its music lingers, tugging at the edges of your reality.

Wigfield's only hope lies in the self-righteous, self-involved "journalist" Russell Hokes, who arrives hoping to capture the quiet dignity of the disappearing American Small Town. However, Wigfield is nether quiet nor dignified. As the date of destruction draws nearer, Hokes casts about desperate to find something about Wigfield worth documenting. WIGFIELD is a razor-sharp satire by three major talents.

A witty and winsome new way of looking at the complex relationship between cats and people: through the eyes of one erudite and attentive Italian gatto. 
We live on a planet infested with humans. They are a pernicious species, yet undeniably clever and capable—even if the reasons behind their actions are often incomprehensible to us felines. 
But while it is true that there have never been so many primates on Earth, in reality, they are quite simple to teach using well-practiced domestication techniques, such as loud vocalizations, strategic nighttime alarms, and selective displays of affection. 
And if you choose your specimen carefully, you’ll find that it can be completely tamed, and you'll end up with the best, most faithful companion you could possibly wish for. 
Translated from the Italian by Katherine Gregor
