Remembrance

Chris Vobe

Summary

“What is grief, really? It’s just a love that refuses to die…”
 
Election fever has gripped the village of Little Bassington and the race for the Town Hall has intensified – with the fate of the Water Tower at stake.
 
But as ghosts of the past and shadows of the future loom large, victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay its price. When journalist Adam Chapman embarks upon a deal with the devil, librarian Victoria Kendall discovers that some choices are destined to be inescapable.
 
Meanwhile, the boundaries of love – both unconditional and unrequited – are put to the test. Feelings long buried are rising to the surface. Painful heartaches and disquieting realities look set to endure. A decades-old secret, long forgotten and left to gather dust, is discovered at Orchard House.
 
For one resident, the aftermath of their brightest morning is about to become their darkest night…
 
The second in Chris Vobe's five-volume epic, 'The Water Tower' is a raw and uncompromising tale of love, loyalty and allegiance, and offers a candid exploration of the way we deal with loss.

Murder in the Highlands - The...

Debbie Young

'A witty insight into village life and a most unusual murder that kept me enthralled!' E.V. Hunter
Sophie and Hector are heading to the Highlands.
For Sophie it’s a trip home and for Hector it’s time to meet Sophie’s parents... Though their trip has village tongues wagging about a stop at Scotland’s notorious elopement spot, Gretna Green.
No matter what, it’ll make a nice break from the murder and mayhem that has been plaguing their beautiful Cotswolds village. But Sophie and Hector are barely across the border on the way to Inverness before a sinister encounter leaves them shaken.
Then comes a series of mishaps that leave poor Hector a little worse for wear. Is someone after Hector? Why is he certain the attacks are just accidents? Sophie is determined to find out.
Starting and finishing at the Hector's House bookshop in Wendlebury Barrow, this adventure is Debbie Young's celebration of Scotland as her second favourite place after the Cotswolds, and will make you feel as if you've taken a trip to the Highlands yourself!

Jessica C. Wheeler

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
She’s Fine is a collection of short fiction that captures the inner lives of women navigating the complexities, contradictions, and quiet absurdities of contemporary life. 
From navigating social expectations to managing the unseen pressures of modern adulthood, each short story offers a sharply observed, often darkly funny portrait of a woman holding it together—gracefully, strategically, and with just enough restraint to keep things civil. 
These are stories about everyday moments and small personal reckonings: the polite conversations that conceal chaos, the subtle emotional calculations behind a simple “I’m fine,” and the quiet mental gymnastics required to stay composed in a world that rarely notices the effort. 
Perfect for readers who enjoy smart, character-driven stories with wit, subtle satire, and a keen sense of emotional truth, She’s Fine is an honest, entertaining, and quietly defiant look at modern womanhood.
