  Charles Pooter in the “Diary of a Nobody” is no mere figure of fun, no suburban snob to be sniggered at.  
  He is a very contented man. Contended in his marriage, devoted to his boss and more than happy in his new six roomed suburban residence. By his own admission he makes no claims to grandiosity or social climbing.  
  As his diary progresses, we find ourselves cheering him on as he navigates many an awkward situation amongst the regularities of his quiet life.  
  George & Weedon Grossmith’s classic book has been amusing generations of readers for over 100 years, and the frustrated Charles Pooter is the forerunner of comic creations such as Basil Fawlty and David Brent. 
  Simon Hester narrates with original music.

I'm not pouring!"This first of perceptive La Cucaracha humor will delight and gratify all audiences that appreciate intelligent, progressive, deeply amusing comics.

  Between an epic downpour and a King Tide, the historic streets of Charleston are flooded—and dangerous. A late night tragic accident along the Lower Battery leads Liz Talbot straight to her next case. 
  Who's the client? Well, now, therein lies the first puzzle. When the police arrive at the scene of the accident, Poppy Oliver claims she's only trying to help. But the dent on the front of her Subaru and the victim's injuries provoke a certain Charleston police detective's suspicious nature. A wealthy, anonymous benefactor hires Liz and her partner Nate Andrews to prove Poppy Oliver's innocence. 
  What exactly was Poppy Oliver up to? Is she a random good Samaritan who happens upon the accident scene? Or perhaps this tragedy wasn't an accident. She just might be his abused wife's accomplice. 
  From a risqué, exclusive club in an old plantation to an upscale resale shop in the historic King Street shopping district to a downtown graveyard crawling with ghosts, Liz tracks a group of women who band together to help victims of domestic violence. In her most challenging case yet, Liz fears she may find a killer, but justice may prove elusive.
