  📐 Sewing pattern shop owner and vintage fashion enthusiast Dottie Seamstress is hosting a retro fashion workshop when the town's most demanding customer is found dead in her shop—smothered by a stack of rare 1950s pattern envelopes. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Dottie notices the patterns have been deliberately rearranged to form a coded message and the victim's final project contains fabric cuts that don't match any known design. With her shop's reputation hanging by a thread and the sewing community in an uproar, Dottie must measure up as an investigator. Assisted by her vintage sewing group and the handsome textile archivist documenting local fashion history, Dottie uncovers a scheme involving pattern forgery, stolen vintage designs, and a black market for rare sewing blueprints. From suspicious cutting lines that reveal unauthorized alterations to tissue paper that doesn't match the era, every pattern tells a story. But when Dottie discovers the victim was blackmailing designers about their stolen patterns and copyright infringements, she realizes the killer is protecting a fashion empire built on stolen ideas. With the annual Vintage Fashion Show approaching and the real culprit still cutting corners, Dottie must piece together this patchwork of deception before her own pattern gets permanently discontinued.

  Amanda Emike-Jones is pretty sure her husband’s been kidnapped. 
  Everyone thinks she’s being dramatic. He’s only gone on a two-week cruise. But Amanda knows something’s wrong. 
  And she just so happens to be right. 
  John Emike has been snatched and taken to a lawless tropical island, shoved into a dorm at gunpoint, and stripped of everything except his wits and a half-charged iPhone. 
  His only ally? A sharp-tongued cruise guest named Lucy, who seems far too comfortable committing crimes. And flirting with him too, even with his ring still on. 
  Meanwhile, against all sound judgment, Amanda drops everything and drags her family into an international search mission to find John and bring him home. 
  But the harder she looks for him, the further away he seems. And the worse she gets. 
  She’s an overprotective travel nurse. He’s a below-average telecom engineer. They aren’t qualified at all. The Emike family are in over their heads. 
  So, can Amanda really pull off the international heist of a lifetime? 
  Can John survive long enough to be found? 
  The Missing Island is a fast-paced, heartfelt, genre-bending rescue story. For fans of character-driven thrillers, absurd plots, and chaotic main characters. 
  This isn’t going to go well.

  When aspiring artist Anna de' Medici Rossi inherits her family's opulent villa in Tuscany, she returns to a place steeped in tragedy and mystery. Living there as a child, Anna suffered from debilitating night terrors, frequently waking to find that she had wandered far from bed. During one such episode when Anna was twelve, her mother took a fatal tumble down the stairs. Vittoria's death was officially ruled an accident, but an heirloom ruby-and-diamond necklace was missing from her bruised neck. Whispered suspicions suggest that Anna pushed her mother and stole the precious jewels. Anna, remembering little from that night, is afraid they're right. But if that's true, then what became of the necklace, which has long been associated with legends of a family curse? 
   
   
   
  Now back in Tuscany after sixteen years, Anna is shunned by the local townspeople as a killer who escaped justice, while only a few distant relatives and an old childhood friend offer solace. As she explores the sprawling villa, Anna uncovers hidden rooms and memories shrouded in fog, reigniting the violent night terrors of her youth. Plagued by unsettling visions and eerie occurrences, she questions her sanity and embarks on a harrowing journey to unravel the truth of her past. As her search deepens, she confronts shocking revelations that expose her to dangers she never anticipated.

  'A guess that answers every question is not far from being the truth.'
  
  First published in 1923, The Confessions of Arsène Lupin is a collection of ten short stories following the misadventures of the charismatic and clever hero-thief, Arsène Lupin, and his criminal acquaintances.
  
  Featuring daring heists, mischievous disguises and cunning escape plans, The Confessions of Arsène Lupin sees our charming protagonist recount some of his most memorable tales. Told always with wit, candidness and a shade of pride, these remarkable stories see Lupin as a master criminal, lead detective, hopeless romantic and even champion of justice. Including 'Two Hundred Thousand Francs Reward!' in which Lupin offers a reward for the capture of himself, and 'The Invisible Prisoner' where he investigates the case of a man who mysteriously disappeared from a locked room, this brilliantly entertaining collection cements itself as a classic of the crime genre. This audiobook is expertly narrated by Rupert Degas.
  Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French journalist, novelist and short story writer. He was primarily known for inventing the fictional thief Arsène Lupin, often considered the French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes.
