Summary

Tabitha Greene grew up all alone, shuttled from magical academy to magical academy with no rhyme or reason. She never stayed in the same place for more than a matter of weeks. Ever.
 
That all changed when she moved in with her uncles to help them run the Weal & Woe Bookshop in the Square, a hidden magical neighborhood in Minneapolis. Now her uncles make her breakfast to start every day, her neighbors greet her whenever she passes them, and she has friends who mean the world to her, and she to them. She even found a brother she never knew she had.
 
All that, and a little dog too. What's not to love about that life?
 
But all of that is threatened when the father she's never met moves into the Square and opens a business of his own. The Shop of Wonders, where the proprietor knows just what item every customer never knew they always needed. People flock to shop in his store.
 
But when one customer turns up dead after leaving the store, Tabitha can't help suspecting the last man to see her alive. Even if implicates her father.
 
No, scratch that. Especially if it implicates her father.

    The body of Daisy Shaw, the Carnival Queen, is discovered in a back alley, stretched out on the cobbles. Her long blonde hair lies matted and disheveled around her head, her fingers clutch a sparkly plastic tiara.

    Another riveting tale from Georges Simenon, in which two siblings, living in isolation, are suspects in a tale of deception, theft, and murder.It’s been seventeen hours of interrogation, yet Carl Andersen’s air of elegance remains unruffled. Inspector Maigret is bewildered by the behavior exhibited by the only probable suspect of the case at Three Widows Crossroads, the location of Carl’s isolated mansion where he lives with his sister Else.The Saturday evening prior, Carl and Else go to sleep, after Carl has locked her away in her bedroom as usual—a curious habit, notes Maigret, but stranger things soon arise. Carl’s faraway neighbor Monsieur Michonnet discovers that his flashy new automobile has swapped places with Carl’s run-down vehicle; what’s more, in the front seat of Michonnet’s car sits a dead man, a Belgian diamond merchant no one purports to know, shot point-blank in the chest. Hours later, Carl and Else are caught trying to embark on a train to Paris. It’s bizarre business, but Maigret is determined to shake off the unease and find out what the residents of Three Widows Crossroads are covering up in The Night at the Crossroads, an exciting, unnerving story from the inimitable Georges Simenon.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
