  Serious illness has forced Eleanor Wilder to leave her life in London, close her antique shop, and return to the family farm in Pembrokeshire. Her instinct is to hide from the world but when her parents bring her to a family reunion at the nearby house, Cliffside, she is transfixed by a set of old family photographs. 
   
  One of the images is of a woman in theatrical dress, labelled ‘Esme Blood’ – a name that is familiar to Eleanor through a set of Victorian tarot cards and diaries that she found through her shop.

  Outgrowing her adopted lifestyle, Esme decides to set out to seek her fortune, and she relies on a deck of Tarot cards to direct her. But fate can be a cruel mistress, and before long Esme finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage. 
   
  Did Esme find happiness? Was she ever reunited with Aaron? 
   
  And will researching her family history bring healing to Eleanor…? 
   
  THE MUSIC MAKERS is an enthralling dual timeline novel set between the Victorian era and the modern day: past and present entwine to create a thrilling page-turning historical mystery. It is the second book in the Timeshift Victorian Mysteries Series.

  As the residents of Miracle Springs, North Carolina, select their costumes, plan parties, and get excited for a night of tricks or treats, Nora joins in on the festivities by hosting medium memoirist Lara Luz at the bookstore. Charismatic and compelling, Lara mesmerizes the audience with her life story. Struck by a bolt of lightning as a child, she was pronounced dead only to be resurrected with the ability to connect with those on the other side. 
   
   
   
  Lara performs a reading for a select group of bookstore patrons when the encroaching storm knocks out the power. In the sudden darkness, howling cold winds intensify, and Lara clutches her heart, collapsing dead without warning. But Nora doesn't believe she died of natural causes. Not one member of the psychic's reading group—which includes the town's widower pharmacist, an urgent care nurse, a mystery author, and even truculent Deputy Hollowell—were admirers of Lara. 
   
   
   
  Nora confirms this when she stumbles upon Lara's journal in the aftermath of her death. For within its leathery bound pages are the medium and her clients' deepest and darkest secrets, written in code. Now, Nora and the Secret, Book, and Scone Society must sift through the suspects and their motives to uncover which one of them is a killer before he or she is tempted to strike again . . .

  By the Time I Got to Bogotá 
  When Elena disappears, months pass without explanation. Then her sister calls: Elena was in Bogotá. She left again. No one knows why. 
  Thomas travels to the city on his last night there, chasing an address he doesn’t fully understand. As the streets narrow and detour without warning, memory intrudes—particularly one phone call he let ring a little too long. 
  A private investigator by trade, Thomas has spent his life arriving after the fact, close to the truth but never inside it. In Bogotá, he is forced to confront the pattern that cost him more than he admitted. 
  By the Time I Got to Bogotá is a restrained literary noir about procrastination, moral timing, and the quiet ways relationships end—not in explosions, but in minutes that feel harmless until they aren’t. 
  For readers who appreciate: 
  Psychological noir 
  Slow-burn literary fiction 
  Stories driven by atmosphere and interior conflict 
  Ambiguous, inevitable endings 
  This is not a thriller. 
  It’s a reckoning.

  Lord Jim at Home

  "A brilliant, chilling picture of the English middle class at home." —Illustrated London News 
   
   
   
  When Dinah Brooke's second novel, Lord Jim at Home, was first published in 1973, it was described as "squalid and startling," "nastily horrific," and a "monstrous parody" of upper-middle class English life. It is the story of Giles Trenchard, who grows up isolated in an atmosphere of privilege and hidden violence; who goes to war, and returns; and then, one day—like the hero of Joseph Conrad's classic Lord Jim—commits an act that calls his past, his character, his whole world into question. 
   
   
   
  Out of print for nearly half a century (and never published in the United States), Lord Jim at Home reveals a daring writer long overdue for reappraisal, whose work has retained all its originality and power. As Ottessa Moshfegh writes in her foreword to this new edition, Brooke evokes childhood vulnerability and adult cruelty "in a way that nice people are too polite to admit they understand."
