Sinopsis

When Andrew Tallente, after loosing his seat in Parlament, struck his secretary, Anthony Palliser, who had conspired with Andrew’s wife and stolen precious political papers from him, he did not expect to see Palliser crash through the railing at the cliff edge and go sprawling into the mists below. Upon search below, no trace of either Palliser or the stolen papers could be found.Andrew’s wife left him, but Lady Jane Parthington, a neigbour, succeeded in restoring partially his lost confidence in himself, and he took prominent place in the councils of the newly-formed Democratic party. Subsequently, the missing papers, which were of such nature as to make the trade-unions inimical to Tallente and the new party, should they be printed, turned up in dangerous hands.There is excitement aplenty in this story of English politics. Mr. Oppenheims inventive genious is unfailing, and, as always, his dexterity in creating tangles and then unraveling them brings surprise after surprise to the reader.

While Aaden is all about the job and Christian is all about the women, their next case is all about survival.

    In this fresh and witty cozy mystery series set amid an extended Italian-American family in Astoria, Queens, catering hall owner and amateur sleuth Mia Carina must solve a murder on the set of a reality show. 
     
     
     
    The June events schedule at Belle View is busting out all over—proms, graduations, and of course, weddings. There are unexpected bookings too, including a casting call for the pilot of Dons of Ditmars Boulevard. But soon, Mia's fears about the cheesy reality show are confirmed . . . 
     
     
      
    Belle View quickly becomes the site of a sea of wanna-be goombahs and phony girlfriends, and some of Mia's friends insist on getting in on the action. The production company owner and his executive producer ex-wife—who's also very minor British royalty—have assembled a motley crew that does as much infighting and backstabbing as the on-screen "talent." Even so, it's a shock when a dead body is found in the pool house of a local mansion rented by the show . . . 
     
     
      
    Murder might boost the ratings. But Mia intends to make sure the killer gets jail time, not airtime . . .

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    A dead teenager. An exclusive community. Was it really an accident? 
    When Sudanese-Australian student Aro Chol is found dead at the foot of the prestigious Chilton Hill estate, local journalist Audrey Lord is first on the scene. Residents claim he was trying to break in. The police suspect a fall. At police request, Audrey agrees to report it as an accident—for now. 
    But Aro was no criminal. He was a bright student with big dreams—not someone who'd throw his future away for a petty crime. Sneaking into one of the wealthiest, most tightly secured homes on the Mornington Peninsula doesn't add up. 
    As Audrey digs deeper, she uncovers a web of buried tensions among Chilton Hill's elite, within Aro's former community, and even inside his own family. With race tensions rising and public pressure mounting, everyone has something to hide and everyone wants to control the story. 
    She wants to give Aro's family answers. But if she's wrong, it could cost her career and leave a killer free to strike again.
