  Fall festivities are underway in Coral Shores, Miami. Cuban-American cooking-show star Miriam Quiñones-Smith wakes up to find a corpse in her front yard. The body by the fake tombstone is the woman that was kicked out of the school's Fall Festival the day before. Miriam's luck does not improve. Her passive-aggressive mother-in-law puts her in charge of the Women's Club annual gala. But this year, it's not canapes and waltzes. Miriam and her girlfriends-squad opt for fun and flavor. They want to spice it up with Caribbean food trucks and a calypso band. While making plans at the country club, they hear a volatile argument between the new head chef and the club's manager. Not long after, the chef swan dives to his death at the bottom of the grand staircase. Was it an accident? Or was it Beverly, the sous chef, who is furious after being passed over for the job? Or maybe it was his ex-girlfriend, Anastasia? Add two possible poisonings to the mix, and Miriam is worried the food truck fun is going to be a major crash. As the clock ticks down and the body count goes up, her life is put in jeopardy. Will she connect the dots, or die in the deep freeze? Foodies and mystery lovers alike will savor the denouement as the truth is laid bare in this simmering stew of rage, retribution, and murder.

  The Strike of a Sex

  When women across the nation take an unprecedented stand—refusing traditional roles and withdrawing entirely from society—the world is thrown into chaos. The Strike of a Sex explores a transformative social upheaval through the eyes of Rodney Carford, a man bewildered by the collapse of everyday life in a city suddenly absent of women. With households in disarray, men struggling to adapt, and political reforms rapidly unfolding, the women demand one uncompromising principle: the irrevocable right to their own bodies and the freedom to choose motherhood on their own terms. 
  George Noyes Miller’s provocative late 19th-century novel blends satire, social commentary, and earnest advocacy, creating a powerful and surprisingly modern exploration of gender equality and personal autonomy. Narrated by Joe Reeder, this audiobook delivers a bold and thought-provoking journey into a world reshaped by women’s collective will.
