  Winter 1940: With soldiers parading down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Nazi flags dangling from the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower defaced with German propaganda, Parisians have little to celebrate as Christmas approaches. Police Inspector Henri Lefort's wishes for a quiet holiday season are dashed when the Gestapo orders him to investigate the disappearance of Dr. Viktor Brandt, a neurologist involved in a secret project at one of Paris's hospitals. 
   
   
   
  Being forced onto a missing persons case for the enemy doesn't deter Henri from conducting his real job. A Frenchman has been beaten to death in what appears to be a botched burglary, and catching a killer is more important than locating a wayward scientist. But when Henri learns that the victim's brother is a doctor who worked at the same hospital as the missing German, his investigation takes a disturbing turn. 
   
   
   
  Uncovering a relationship between the two men—one that would not be tolerated by the Third Reich—Henri must tread carefully. And when he discovers that Dr. Brandt's experimental work is connected to groups of children being taken from orphanages, Henri risks bringing the wrath of both the SS and the Gestapo upon himself and everyone he loves.

  When women across the nation take an unprecedented stand—refusing traditional roles and withdrawing entirely from society—the world is thrown into chaos. The Strike of a Sex explores a transformative social upheaval through the eyes of Rodney Carford, a man bewildered by the collapse of everyday life in a city suddenly absent of women. With households in disarray, men struggling to adapt, and political reforms rapidly unfolding, the women demand one uncompromising principle: the irrevocable right to their own bodies and the freedom to choose motherhood on their own terms. 
  George Noyes Miller’s provocative late 19th-century novel blends satire, social commentary, and earnest advocacy, creating a powerful and surprisingly modern exploration of gender equality and personal autonomy. Narrated by Joe Reeder, this audiobook delivers a bold and thought-provoking journey into a world reshaped by women’s collective will.

  Knives Out meets Moana in this tropical cozy mystery full of buried secrets, found family, and one very judgmental parrot. 
  Dr. Cassandra Sato can handle just about anything: campus politics, faculty feuds, and a to-do list longer than a freshman advising line. But chaperoning Midwestern students to a Honolulu tech conference? That’s supposed to be a low-key homecoming. Networking. Ocean breezes. Maybe a Mai Tai or two. 
  Trouble, of course, didn’t get the memo. 
  A high-tech contest using virtual reality to “time travel” through a century-old cold case sounds harmless enough… until Cassandra learns one of the victims is family. 
  Soon the clues start whispering stories no history book dared to print, including a handmade quilt hiding a royal secret. Uncovering the truth could rewrite her family’s history and put a target on her back. With a cold case ready to burn hot, sometimes the biggest mystery is figuring out where you really belong. 
  With her brilliant misfit students, a fiercely loyal parrot, and friends who feel more like family, Cassandra must solve the case before she becomes a footnote in its bloody history. 
  Because in Hawai‘i, ohana means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. 
  Can Cassandra keep that promise when the past comes for her too? 
  Homecoming Homicide is perfect for fans of academic drama, island intrigue, and smart sleuths who bring lost voices to light. 
  Start your fictional vacation today.

  🍗 Southern cook and family restaurant owner Gravy Jones is preparing for her small town's annual Thanksgiving potluck when the meal's most demanding guest—a notorious food critic threatening to expose family recipes—is found dead in her kitchen, a ladle of suspicious giblet gravy spilled across his notepad. The police suspect a kitchen accident, but Gravy notices the giblets have been deliberately substituted and the victim's tasting notes contain coded symbols about recipe theft. With her family's restaurant reputation on the line and Thanksgiving dinner in jeopardy, Gravy must simmer through the suspects to save her grandmother's legacy. Assisted by her kitchen staff and the handsome food historian analyzing traditional cooking methods, Gravy uncovers a scheme involving recipe espionage, ingredient substitution, and a plot to commercialize family secrets. From suspicious gizzard textures that reveal improper cleaning to herb combinations that don't match her family's century-old recipe, every spoonful tells a story. But when Gravy discovers the victim was systematically collecting small-town family recipes to sell to a corporate food chain, she realizes the killer is protecting culinary heritage richer than any gravy. With the Thanksgiving feast hours away and the real recipe thief still stirring up trouble, Gravy must thicken the plot before her family's traditions get permanently watered down.
