Sinopsis

   In the fluorescent limbo of a highway rest stop bathroom, an unseen cleaning woman endures her daily role as society’s ghost—ignored by the parade of travelers who treat her as part of the fixtures. Cloaked in invisibility, she observes the raw, unfiltered humanity of men shuffling through the space: truckers, businessmen, and vagrants alike. Her quiet resignation shatters when two boorish nouveau-riche intruders vandalize her workspace, triggering a volcanic eruption of long-suppressed rage.Amidst the confrontation, an enigmatic drifter completing a meticulous grooming ritual locks eyes with her—an unspoken recognition passes between them. His dignified presence amidst the chaos becomes a mirror to her own buried identity. The encounter unravels a revelation: a corrupt system stripped both of them of their former lives.This taut noir explores erasure and resilience through visceral, claustrophobic prose. Themes of societal invisibility, gendered labor, and the quiet reclamation of dignity converge in a single transformative moment. The story dissects the anatomy of dehumanization—and the unexpected sparks that reignite a stifled voice.

    The next instalment in the gripping Hopgood Hall cozy mystery series from bestselling author E V Hunter. 
    A tragic accident or an untimely death? 
    When Drew Hopgood’s brother, Frank dies whilst out climbing, it’s initially thought his death was simply a tragic accident. But when Frank’s much younger wife, Stella arrives at Hopgood Hall demanding half of Frank’s inheritance the Hopgoods and Alexi Ellis begin to suspect foul play... 
    Stella has no claim to Frank’s legacy, but she isn’t giving up easily. And with the reputation of Hopgood Hall still fragile, Alexi can’t afford to lose any more money because of Stella’s greed. 
    So Alexi, her partner Jack, and Cosmo of course, decide to dig deeper into Stella’s background. Just how did she meet Frank and were they really as in love as she claims? 
    As the trio investigate, they discover Stella has her own reasons for being back at Hopgood Hall. And rather than console the grieving widow, Alexi and Jack think they might need to look again at Frank’s tragic death – because rather than an accident this could have been a deadly fall – planned by his own wife! 
    A boutique hotel. A feral cat. A recipe for murder! 
    A gripping murder mystery, perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Frances Evesham and Emma Davies.

    🥧 Pie shop owner Patty Crustwell's world turns upside down when the town's historic preservationist is found dead in her bakery, his body tucked inside her antique pie safe with a half-eaten slice of cherry pie clutched in his hand. The police suspect a bizarre break-in gone wrong, but Patty notices the pie safe's ventilation holes form a strange pattern and the victim's notes contain cryptic references to hidden town documents. With her shop temporarily closed and rumors spreading faster than warm butter, Patty must assemble the pieces of this pastry-packed puzzle. Assisted by her pie-baking grandmother and the handsome antiques dealer who sold her the pie safe, Patty uncovers a web of deception involving land development schemes, forged historical records, and a legendary missing recipe collection. From suspicious lattice crust patterns that match architectural blueprints to fruit fillings that reveal chemical alterations, every baking detail holds a clue. But when Patty discovers the victim was about to expose a conspiracy that would destroy the town's historic district, she realizes the killer is someone she serves pie to every day. With the annual Pie Festival approaching and the real killer still at large, Patty must crack this case before her business becomes pie in the sky.

    Every family has a fixer. The person who is always expected to solve every problem. Even as a kid, I knew the role I had in my Crowne family would force me to live a life in solitude, surrounded by people, yet alone in many ways. After convincing myself that I was fine on my own, I finally found my person. A man buried so deep in my soul that it broke me a little inside every time we connected. As I was always reminded though, my role was to fix others. Not become the one who needs fixing. 
     
     
     
    SHADE 
     
     
     
    For her, I became a fixer. But my nature has always been to destroy. I promised myself I'd always be there for her, even after she pushed me away. But even I can't deny that if she lets me in again, there's no guarantee how it will turn out. I could be her salvation mind, body and soul. Or on the other hand, I may just be the final piece in her story that finally pushes her over the edge of darkness. She shouldn't want me . . . But she does. Who knows, maybe darkness is where we both belong.
