  All Naya and Jake want is their own home. That's not too much to ask, right? 
  ‘A wildly original, darkly funny love story about desperation, house prices, and making terrible decisions together. Most Wanted is criminally good’ Steve Jones 
  ‘Fresh, original and absolutely brimming with energy. One of the very best crime capers I’ve read in a LONG time’ Jonathan Whitelaw 
  'The protagonists' desperation for affordable housing is completely relatable for anyone who has tried to buy a house this century. This book was quick, funny, and captured the very real financial struggles of the moment' Tasha Coryell 
  ‘A brilliantly funny and twisty thriller. As dark as it is hilarious, with relatable characters that you really care about, this book really delves into the dark world of gentrification and property while still being a wonderfully entertaining ride of a book’ Kate Weston 
  ‘I tore through this hilarious, twisty and poignant story of two people desperate for a home of their own. It's a must read for anyone who's ever bought a property… or dreamt about doing so. A fabulous takedown of our national obsession with home ownership.’ Lauren Schott 
  'A deliciously fresh take on the housing market, terrific fun' Ian Moore 
  'Most Wanted somehow makes the headache of first-time home ownership a gripping, pacy and funny story, loaded with twists and turns that keep you guessing right up to that gut punch ending. I loved it' Dawn O'Porter 
  *** 
  All Naya and Jake want is their own home. An island in the kitchen. A wine cooler, maybe… Nothing fancy really. 
  With artisanal coffee shops and microbreweries popping up on every corner, prices are skyrocketing. And as Jake and Naya tour property after property, one thing becomes clear: unless they want to share their home with black mould, they need to find a way to make the market crash. And fast. 
  There’s only one thing for it: they're going to have to take matters into their own hands. But how far are they willing to go? 
  For fans of Talia Hibbert (Act Your Age, Eve Brown), Charish Reid (Mickey Chambers Shakes It Up), Kennedy Ryan (Can’t Get Enough), Beth O'Leary (Swept Away), and Ruth Kelly (The Ice Retreat).

  “The undisputed king of the comic crime novel.”—Providence Journal 
  Nobody does Florida weirdness quite like Tim Dorsey! Case in point: When Elves Attack, the New York Times bestselling author’s twisted Christmas present to his legion of adoring fans who can’t get enough of thrill-killer and Sunshine State historian Serge A. Storms, the most endearing psychopath since Dexter. Dorsey offers the perfect antidote for all those sappy feel-good holiday stories with this zany blockbuster extravaganza in which his wonderfully deranged serial killer Floridaphile delivers his special brand of Christmas cheer. More outrageous than Santa Claus in a Speedo, When Elves Attack serves up a Yuletide feast of the “pure gonzo humor” the New York Times Book Review enthusiastically attributes to this fearlessly funny writer. Think Bad Santa and National Lampoon’s Family Vacation, blend in Dorsey’s trademark appetite for destruction, and you’ve got hilarious crime fiction black comedy that anyone would be thrilled to discover stuffed in their Christmas stocking.

  Tristram Shandy is a satirical and experimental work that takes a unique approach to storytelling. Rather than following a linear narrative, the book is a chaotic and digressive account of the life and opinions of its narrator, Tristram Shandy. The novel incorporates various elements, including humorous anecdotes, reflections on philosophy, and playful experiments with typography. It is often considered a precursor to modernist literature due to its unconventional structure and self-aware narrative.

  A bundle of books #1 (ON THE ROCKS) and #2 (EXTRA DIRTY) in Mia Gold’s Ruby Steele cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file.
  
  In ON THE ROCKS (Book #1), Ruby Steele, 30, beautiful, fit, seems just like any other ex-pat hiding out in the Bahamas and playing local bartender. But unruly patrons find out the hard way: Ruby is a mixed-martial-arts pro, and not one you’d want to cross. In fact, Ruby would be a champion if she hadn’t been forced to walk away and hide out in the Bahamas. Because Ruby knows too much. She knows where the bodies are buried. And she knows when it’s time to get out of town. But what Ruby doesn’t know is why there is a dead tourist in the dumpster behind her seedy bar. Or why, she, of all people, had to find it. Or why this guy was out at 3am when he had a pretty fiancé waiting in a hotel room a mile away. Or why the local cops are pinning her. Or why she’s gonna be forced into a choice: find the killer, or do hard time herself. For Ruby, good choices have never been her strong point. And this one’s definitely not going to be good…
  
  In EXTRA DIRTY (Book #2), a 40-something female tourist seeks out Ruby, desperate for her help. She was out partying all night with her friend, both of them drinking way too much and doing things they don’t want their husbands to know about. The problem is, as of 12 hours ago, her friend is missing. Their husbands can’t know. The cops can’t know. She needs Ruby’s help. And she’s running out of time. Ruby, though, has enough problems of her own. Shadowy figures from her old life are getting close. Way too close. Can Ruby really play detective and take on someone else’s problems? Who is this woman, anyway? And what isn’t she telling her? Ruby can’t keep away from a bad decision. And this time, it looks like, won’t be any exception….
  
  Welcome to the Bahamian world of Ruby Steele, replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby’s life is a complete wreck. But there’s one thing she’s good at: capturing your heart. THE RUBY STEELE MYSTERY SERIES is a page-turning mystery/thriller series, one that will linger with you long after the last page is read. 
  
  Book #3 in the series (FULL-BODIED) is now also available.
