Sinossi

A collection of three novels by Brian Prousky, now available in one volume!
 
Auden Triller (Is A Killer): Simon and Auden Triller are twins with vastly different lives. Simon is accomplished, popular, and devoted to his unappreciative brother. Auden, on the other hand, wants nothing more than a simple life free from comparisons to his twin. As Auden's solitude leads to insanity, he loses his grip on reality, and his actions threaten to sever his bond with Simon just when he needs him most.
 
God Might Forgive Gershwin Burr: After his father's death, Gershwin Burr turns to stealing books as a remedy for his depression, but his thievery spirals out of control. Despite his wife's pleas to stop, he can't bring himself to quit until he's betrayed and arrested. Imprisoned and tormented by guilt, Gershwin seeks redemption and the identity of his betrayer in this beautifully written novel about trauma and redemption.
 
The Anna Geller Invention: A young poet named Harvey Painter is visited by a fan named Anna Geller, who gives him a single poem before disappearing. Thirty years later, an investigative reporter discovers that Anna has secretly given her poems to people around the world, turning her into a literary sensation. Harvey is swept up in the frenzy and becomes infamous when his poem is stolen. This novel is a tribute to poetry and a critique of celebrity culture.

    Jane Austen's existence embodies a profound juxtaposition of her illustrious literary endeavors and an ostensibly mundane public persona. Born in the quaint environs of Steventon, Hampshire, she was the product of a domestically-conducted education under the tutelage of her clerical father. Her life was marked by an unwavering familial devotion. Following a brief sojourn in the cosmopolitan city of Bath, Austen's family circumstances necessitated a return to their ancestral abode in Steventon, where she remained until her demise at the relatively young age of 41. Despite the apparent banality of her daily existence, her literary prowess burgeoned in this very setting, shrouded in secrecy. 
    Austen's nascent fascination with the art of novel-writing manifested early in her life, as she penned narratives that offered a satirical commentary on both the contemporary authors and the social mores of the late 18th century. Her novels, suffused with wit and incisive observation, served as a scathing yet engaging critique of the era's literary landscape. Her corpus is replete with masterpieces such as "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), "Mansfield Park" (1814), and "Emma" (1816), which masterfully dissect the social interactions and foibles of the 19th-century middle class. Her acuity for capturing the absurdities of human conduct is particularly evident in these works, which have endured as timeless reflections of societal norms. 
    In the annals of British letters, Austen stands as an adored and venerated figure, celebrated for her astute social commentary and her unparalleled contribution to the novel form. Her enduring popularity is a testament to the universal appeal of her narratives, which transcend temporal and cultural boundaries to resonate with readers across generations.

    It's only temporary. That's what Shelby Phillips tells herself when she returns to excruciatingly harmless Gwen Lake after her graphic arts career—and the office romance blooming with it—get tossed like rejected design mockups. Her plan is as simple and fool-proof as a tent stitch: manage the family needlepoint shop during her parents' RV vacation. It's just a month. It's not as if they're retiring . . . right? 
     
     
      
    When Shelby becomes responsible for hosting a trunk show with local vendors, she's determined to pull it off. Even if that means dealing with former classmate Kat Katsaros, a rising entrepreneur specializing in needlework scissors. Kat has changed since high school—and she's angling to take over the Nimble Needle herself. The tension unspools when Shelby makes a terrible discovery on the morning of the event: Kat's dead body. 
     
     
      
    Shelby can't believe the death was an accident. That's why she's set on exposing who committed the murder with Kat's own equipment. She finds help in a new friend, a potential crush, and the surprising support of her sister and the Nimble Needle stitchers. Still, Shelby must move quickly to stop the crafty culprit before her maybe not-so-temporary new life in Gwen Lake comes apart at the seams . . .
