Sinossi

Bigger things are in store when the newly blended Sullivan-Bishop family – and their eclectic circle of friends – receive mysterious red parcels inviting them on a luxury cruise.
 
What begins as a long-overdue vacation quickly veers into unexpected waters. All eyes are on the ship’s ambitious new stage production and when the star performer is injured just days before opening night, the spotlight shifts to a high-stakes whodunit. Suspicion swirls, and it’s clear someone in their inner circle knows more than they’re letting on.
 
With tensions rising, it falls to Grover’s sharp-witted mother, Millicent, to trust her instincts and uncover the saboteur before anyone else gets hurt. Her journey is anything but smooth sailing thanks to Big Kev, a laid-back larrikin who is everything she is not. As they trade barbs and theories, a surprising chemistry begins to surface.
 
A cosy, heartfelt mystery, BIGGER THINGS is a story celebrating the idea that it's never too late to start over and discover your true purpose and potential.

Civilisation Ends in Croydon

Kenneth Westlin

It was a reasonably early morning. Birds shrieked their spring songs while toads and frogs croaked away in their boggy choir. Every now and then the sun managed to send down a weak ray of light between the dark clouds, while the northerly wind did its best to cling on to the night frost. All in all, just another ordinary early spring morning on the edge of the city. 
About then, in a nearly abandoned street of derelict houses not far from Highgate Cemetery, one might have seen a fat fellow with greasy hair, dressed in nothing but his underwear, kick open the door of a caravan. He stretched his arms up towards the sky while letting out a thunderous burp. His greasy chest made the grimy yellow string-vest bulge as if it might burst, while he wheezed for breath and solemnly declared: 
 — Bloody hell.

Fletch and the Man Who

Gregory Mcdonald

Full of sharp-witted commentary and rich details, Fletch and the Man Who takes a satirical, behind-the-scenes look inside the world of American politics. 
Arriving on scene somewhere in middle America, newly hired on as the “press representative” for Governor Caxton Wheeler’s presidential campaign, Fletch is unsure of what exactly he’s supposed to be doing there. Luckily the man who called him up for the job is his old war buddy, Walsh Wheeler, aide and son to the governor. But just as Walsh is filling him in on the need-to-know informational tidbits, a woman is found dead outside the very hotel they occupy—and she’s not the first … or the last. 
Struggling to corral the increasingly pushy press, keep the votes coming in, and do his own sleuthing, Fletch is up against the clock to solve this mystery before the killer strikes again.

The Great Man Theory

Teddy Wayne

Paul is a recently demoted adjunct instructor of freshman comp, a divorced but doting Brooklyn father, and a self-described “curmudgeonly crank” cataloging his resentment of the priorities of modern life in a book called The Luddite Manifesto. Outraged by the authoritarian creeps ruining the country, he is determined to better the future for his young daughter, one aggrieved lecture at a time. Shockingly, others aren't very receptive to Paul's scoldings. His child grows distant, preferring superficial entertainment to her father's terrarium and anti-technological tutelage. His careerist students are less interested than ever in what he has to say, and his last remaining friends appear ready to ditch him. To make up for lost income, he moonlights as a ride-share driver and moves in with his elderly mother, whose third-act changes confound and upset him. As one indignity follows the next, and Paul's disaffection with his circumstances and society mounts, he concocts a dramatic plan to right the world's wrongs and gives himself a more significant place in it.
