–––
London, late 1990s. Stan, a young and promising French composer, is invited to arrange the music for a theatrical adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray. The play will never be staged, but Stan meets Liv, the love of his life, and their harmonious duo soon becomes a trio with the birth of their beloved daughter, Lisa. Stan's world is filled with vibrant colour and melodic music, and under his wife and daughter's gaze, his piano comes to life.
Paris, today. After Liv's fatal accident, Stan returns to France surrounded by darkness, no longer able to compose, and living in the Rabbit Hole, a home left to him by an aunt. He shares his life with Babette, a lifeguard and mother of a boy of Lisa's age, and Laïvely, an AI machine of his own invention endowed with Liv's voice, that he spent entire nights building after her death.
But Stan remains haunted by his past. As the silence gradually gives way to noises, whistles and sighs – sometimes even bursts of laughter – and Laïvely seems to take on a life of its own, memories and reality fade and blur…
And Stan's new family implodes…
For readers who love Laura Kasischke, David Nicholls and Kazuo Ishiguro

    Featuring the humor and charm of Ireland, a compelling whodunit, a sleuthing American expat, and Jack Russell Terrier puppies, the latest book in the Dublin Driver cozy mystery series is perfect for fans of Carlene O'Connor! 
 
 
 
Megan is excited to show her visiting American friends the best of Ireland. A dead body in a holy well, however, was not on her list. The victim is Seamus Nolan, nicknamed "the Irish Druid" for his controversial efforts to rewild his country estate. The local police seem all-too-willing to write off his death as an accident. But Megan's instincts say not so fast. 
 
 
 
Megan knows that sleuthing cost her her last girlfriend. Maybe solving another murder will help her make peace with that. And she's even more determined to figure out whodunnit when she learns that an antiquated law may pass the estate on to Nolan's land-grabbing, sell-out uncle instead of his beloved daughter. 
 
 
 
But then, with Nolan out of the picture, a rival conservationist's bid for a major grant is uncontested. And as more suspects crop up, so does a toxic surprise on the estate, throwing everyone's plans, and Nolan's reputation, into jeopardy. Now Megan will have to unearth a killer with a dirty secret.

    In H. G. Wells’s haunting tale The Moth, scientific rivalry turns to psychological horror in a chilling study of obsession and guilt. 
 When the proud entomologist Hapley destroys the reputation of his longtime nemesis, Professor Pawkins, the victory proves fatal — Pawkins dies shortly after the public humiliation. But Hapley’s triumph curdles into torment when a strange moth begins to appear in his study… a moth no one else can see. 
Is it the ghost of his rival returned for revenge, or the unraveling of a fevered mind? 
 Set in the dim lamplight of Victorian science, The Moth is a masterful descent into madness — part ghost story, part psychological dissection — from one of the founding fathers of modern speculative fiction. 
Narrated by Myriam Berger, this performance brings eerie intimacy to Wells’s portrait of intellectual pride, guilt, and the thin line between reason and insanity.
