  Georgie Deacon thinks nothing of it when a gang of girls led by Yasmin, a member of the notorious Marx family, knock at her door and threaten to hurt her daughter – that is until her daughter doesn’t return home. 
  Detective Clark Kims ignores Georgie’s plea to have the gang of girls brought in for questioning. He insists it is the work of the Kent serial killer, until Georgie realises that the detective’s daughter is part of the gang. 
   
  Following the brutal murder of two members of the Marx family and the arrival of a Ministry of Defence file, Georgie instantly becomes the number one suspect. Yet more worrying than securing her liberty is the idea that the nemesis from her past has returned to exact his revenge – a promise he made back in Afghanistan almost twenty years ago. 
   
  There was a lot more to Georgie than the Army’s top brass gave her credit for. 
   
  That was a huge mistake.

  A reluctant witch, a haunted funeral home, and a dead body. Welcome home, Hazel. 
   
  Hazel Underwood has returned to her magical hometown of Foxfire Haven, Washington, with her tail between her legs. 
   
  A metaphorical tail, of course. Witches don't have tails. 
   
  While renovating the old funeral home she inherited from her uncle, Hazel stumbles on a dead body stashed underneath the hearse. Who wanted the delivery-truck driver dead, and how did he wind up in Hazel's garage? Chief Constable Hightower thinks Hazel might have killed Steve with her magic, and she's determined to prove the handsome old curmudgeon wrong. 
   
  Suspects range from a beautiful vampire with a passion for potions to the garden store gnome, but as Hazel closes in on solving the murder, she learns there's another mystery to unravel. What happened to Hazel's uncle in his final years to turn him into an obsessed treasure-hunter? And does his story tie into Steve's murder? 
   
  Hazel will have to team up with her witchy new roommates to catch a killer, stand up to judgmental small-town locals, and get her magic back on track. Who knew midlife could be so complicated?

  Beowulf

  Beowulf is an Old English epic poem in the tradition of Germanic heroic legend consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines. It is one of the most important and most often translated works of Old English literature. The date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars; the only certain dating is for the manuscript, which was produced between 975 and 1025. Scholars call the anonymous author the "Beowulf poet". The story is set in pagan Scandinavia in the 6th century. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by the monster Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland and becomes king of the Geats. Fifty years later, Beowulf defeats a dragon but is mortally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants cremate his body and erect a tower on a headland in his memory. Scholars have debated whether Beowulf was transmitted orally, affecting its interpretation: if it was composed early, in pagan times, then the paganism is central and the Christian elements were added later, whereas if it was composed later, in writing, by a Christian. Beowulf is written mostly in the West Saxon dialect of Old English, but many other dialectal forms are present, suggesting that the poem may have had a long and complex transmission throughout the dialect areas of England.No definite sources or analogs of the poem can be proven, but many suggestions have been made, including the Icelandic Grettis saga, the Norse story of Hrolf Kraki and his bear-shapeshifting servant Bodvar Bjarki, the international folktale the Bear's Son Tale, and the Irish folktale of the Hand and the Child. Persistent attempts have been made to link Beowulf to tales from Homer's Odyssey or Virgil's Aeneid. More definite are Biblical parallels, with clear allusions to the books of Genesis, Exodus, and Daniel.

  Fans of C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett and Craig Johnson’s Walt Longmire will be hooked by Patrick Flint. 
  “Best books I’ve read in a long time!” 
  When Patrick Flint volunteers at the underfunded Indian Health Services clinic on the Wind River Reservation, he expects hard work—but not murder. Amid a series of brutal winter blizzards, communication is cut off, and Patrick discovers Big Mike Teton, a tribal council member, dead in the clinic parking lot. Poisoning seems likely, but local law enforcement—and even Big Mike’s widow, the charming clinic manager Constance—dismiss the idea. 
  Stranded in the storm, Patrick must follow the evidence and his instincts to uncover the killer before anyone else is hurt. Back home, his wife Susanne juggles a family visit, a counteroffer on their dream house, and a missing husband, only to find that Patrick isn’t the only one interested in the good doctor. 
  Full of suspense, family drama, and the rugged beauty of 1970s Wyoming, Snake Oil is the second gripping installment in the Patrick Flint series, a thrilling spin-off from the What Doesn’t Kill You super series. Available in digital, print, and audiobook.
