The weight of a whisper

Anna Teleki

Sinossi

This book is dedicated to everyone who thrives to escape.

 
In the heart of a perpetually moving Paris, a city cloaked in winter's biting cold, two lives on opposite ends of society collide. A brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, adrift in a sea of professional setbacks and personal weariness, is haunted by the patients he couldn't save. His orderly world shatters when he accidentally strikes a young homeless woman.

 
Driven by an unexpected impulse, he takes her in, pulling her from the frozen streets into his pristine, solitary apartment. As the young woman, with her rusty-red hair and resilient spirit, slowly sheds the layers of grime and hardship, the surgeon is confronted not only with her desperate past—a university student forced to scavenge due to her mother's spiraling debts and addiction—but also with his own unspoken burdens.

 
"The Weight of a Whisper" is a poignant tale of unexpected connection, hidden struggles, and the profound impact two souls can have on each other. Can compassion bridge the chasm between their worlds, or will the whispers of their pasts keep them from finding solace and hope?

A Fashionably French Murder

Colleen Cambridge

American expat Tabitha Knight has found a new life in postwar Paris, along with a delightful friend in aspiring 
chef Julia Child. Yet there are perils in peacetime too, as a killer infiltrates one of the city’s most famous fashion 
houses. 
If there’s one art the French have mastered as well as fine cuisine, it’s haute couture. Tabitha and Julia are 
already accustomed to sampling the delights of the former. Now fashion is returning to the forefront in Paris, 
as the somber hues of wartime are replaced by vibrant colors and ultra-feminine silhouettes, influenced by 
Christian Dior’s “New Look.” 
Tabitha and Julia join a friend for a private showing at an exclusive fashion atelier, Maison Lannet. The event 
goes well, but when Tabitha returns later that evening to search for a lost glove, she finds the lights still on—and 
the couturier dead, strangled by a length of lace. The shop manager suspects that a jealous rival—perhaps 
Dior himself—committed the crime. Tabitha dismisses that idea, but when another body is found, it’s apparent 
that someone is targeting employees of Maison Lannet. 
Meanwhile, Tabitha’s Grand-père and Oncle Rafe are in the midst of their own design-related fracas, as 
they squabble over how to decorate their new restaurant. And there are strange break-ins at a nearby shoe 
store—but are the crimes related? It’s up to Tabitha to don her investigative hat and find answers before 
someone commits another fatal fashion faux pas.

Paladin - The Welsh Guard Mysteries

Sarah Woodbury

Catrin and Rhys travel to Windsor Castle for their third medieval mystery together... 
August 1284. On the heels of King Edward's triumph over Wales, the high point of his reign thus far, he receives the worst news possible: his eldest living son and heir to the throne of England has died. Concerned that his victories in Wales, and even more the means by which he came by them, have brought the wrath of the Almighty down upon his house, King Edward sends Catrin and Rhys to Windsor Castle to investigate. 
But although they find victims and villains aplenty, their far greater test—of friendship, loyalty, and allegiance—is managing the expectations of a grieving king, who fears his son was murdered—and fears even more that he wasn't. 
Paladin is the third book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries.
