  Juvenilia – Volume III

  Jane Austen

  "I am now perfectly convinced that she has no fortune and no Expectations, and consequently she must be a very improper Companion for you."
  
  In Juvenilia – Volume III, the rowdy energy of Austen's earlier work is channeled into more structured and realistic stories. The volume is dominated by two significant works: "Evelyn," a hilariously biting parody of the "ideal" sentimental village, and "Catharine, or the Bower" (also known as Kitty). In Catharine, we meet a heroine who feels remarkably like a precursor to Elizabeth Bennet or Catherine Morland—a young woman struggling with social isolation, the whims of fickle friends, and the pressures of aunt-guided decorum. This collection is a "must-read" for fans who want to see the exact moment the satirical teenager became the professional novelist.
  
  The Masterpiece of the Volume: Catharine, or the Bower: This story is Austen's first serious attempt at a sustained narrative. It explores the inner life of Kitty, a young woman who seeks refuge in her bower to remember her lost friends, while navigating the arrival of the stylish but empty-headed Camilla Stanley. It contains some of Austen's first sharp observations on "fashionable" society and the loneliness of being the only intelligent person in the room.
  
  The Satire of "Evelyn": In "Evelyn," Austen mocks the unrealistic generosity found in sentimental fiction. When a stranger arrives in the village of Evelyn, the inhabitants literally give him their houses, their money, and their daughters simply because it is "polite." It is a scathing critique of the "sensibility" novels that ignored the practical realities of money and property.
  
  A Glimpse of the Future: Volume III reveals Austen's growing interest in the "marriage market" and the economic vulnerability of women—themes that would define her career. Though she was still a teenager, her ability to dissect the hypocrisies of the gentry is fully formed, making this volume the perfect bridge to her later genius.

  Two strangers. One phone. Everything on the line. 
  “If you can solve the puzzle in one week, maybe you both deserve to live.” 
  When rock star Violet Wilde wakes up, she doesn’t remember anything. She’s locked inside a cabin in the middle of nowhere with a cryptic note and a burner phone that dials a single number. A stranger named Bud Atwood answers Violet’s phone call. But he seems as confused as she is. Can she trust him? 
  As Violet fights to keep hope within the walls of the cabin, and Bud chases the mystery in the outside world, it becomes clear that the link between them is far more sinister than they could have imagined. Violet and Bud haven’t met before—but they’re not exactly strangers, either. 
  It’s a race against time in this suspense thriller with a Twilight Zone twist.

  She wanted to write the story of a killer. But some stories can kill you. 
   
  Journalist Ann Stackhouse is writing a true-crime book about Maxine Adams, the woman accused of five brutal murders before vanishing from the headlines. When Maxine finally agrees to meet, Ann can't believe her luck—this book could make her career. 
   
  But Maxine has rules. Ann must tell the story her way. The more Ann listens, the more she's drawn into Maxine's web of contradictions. Through prison interviews, old police reports, and Maxine's own chilling confessions, Ann begins piecing together a portrait of a woman who is known only as a monster. As Ann follows Maxine's cryptic clues, it becomes clear someone is following her and watching her every move. Is Maxine manipulating her? Or is the real killer still out there? 
   
  And when obsession turns to fear, Ann faces a chilling choice: break the story . . . or become part of it. 
   
  Dark, twisting, and disturbingly believable, Nothing But the Truth blurs the line between fact and fiction. Perfect for fans of Alice Feeney and True Crime Story by Joseph Knox.
