  Miss Seeton is most embarrassed . . .  
  Her every attempt at a portrait of little Effie Goffer has become a chilling picture of a corpse. Is Miss Seeton actually drawing a clue to a series of child murders in rural England? 
  Scotland Yard thinks so, and wants Miss Seeton to turn from sketching . . . to catching a killer skilled in a very deadly art. 
  Retired art teacher Miss Seeton steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles. Armed with only her sketch pad and umbrella, she is every inch an eccentric English spinster and at every turn the most lovable and unlikely master of detection.Editorial reviews: 
  “A most beguiling protagonist!” New York Times 
  “Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce . . . This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting.” San Francisco Chronicle 
  “This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy . . . You can’t stop reading. Or laughing.” The Sun 
  “Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life.” Publishers Weekly 
  “Fun to be had with a full cast of endearingly zany villagers . . . and the ever gently intuitive Miss Seeton.” Kirkus Reviews 
  “Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple.” Ogden Nash 
  “I think, on the whole, Miss Seeton is the most loveable and entertaining of any of today’s fiction detectives. May she live forever.” London Mystery Selection

  Kiersten has always been a fan of personal massagers, and her favorite is the PleasureWand 3000, a powerful vibe that plugs in the wall and brings instant release. Kiersten thinks she loves her wand more than she loves sex, and she can't imagine why she'd need a real girlfriend with the buzzing beast in her bed.
  But when her PleasureWand's cord frays over time, almost blowing a fuse and threatening to electrocute her in the process, Kiersten finds herself in the market for a new toy. The wand isn't cheap, and the website she buys it from takes her money and runs, leaving her out of cash and out of luck. 
  But a local sex toy shop called Amaryllis has the PleasureWand in stock, so Kiersten decides to swing by on her lunch break. She's a little embarrassed to be seen in such a place, to be honest, but sexy owner Amy soon puts her at ease. She introduces Kiersten to her favorite vibe, a lightweight, waterproof, cordless wonder called the Genie 500, and she's more than ready to give Kiersten a demo to prove her point. 
  Can Amy's sales pitch change Kiersten's mind? Will the Genie really make all her dreams come true?

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Luxury has a lobby. So does murder. 
  When a socialite plummets from the balcony of a glass-and-steel tower, the building swallows the truth. Security footage blinks. Visitor logs vanish. Neighbors remember the wrong hour. Detective Owen Vale has seen cover-ups before, but never an entire high-rise that edits reality. 
  The Chronicle, a luxury residence with forty floors and a concierge who never speaks out of turn, sells more than privacy—it sells control. Behind its velvet silence operates a bespoke security firm that curates lives for the city's most powerful, rewriting details whenever the truth becomes inconvenient. As Vale follows the thin seams the building failed to seal, he finds the victim wasn't the first "accident," only the one that slipped. 
  Every step up the tower tightens the noose: witnesses lawyer up, evidence reappears scrubbed clean, and the concierge's loyalty proves as dangerous as any weapon. When the firm turns its attention to Vale's own daughter, the case stops being a puzzle and becomes a countdown. 
  Taut, atmospheric, and relentlessly surprising, Forty Floors of Silence delivers a classic detective thriller with a modern edge—locked-room intrigue at skyscraper scale. Read it for the razor-sharp twists, stay for a hero who has to outthink a building that refuses to be a crime scene. 
  If you love high-stakes investigations, morally gray power players, and endings you'll want to talk about, this is your next obsession.

Now I just have to survive pretending not to be in love with her.When I came home from deployment, I expected to pick up a shovel, not a fiancée. Tate Cavanaugh is my best friend. The woman I trust with my life. The one who helped build our landscaping business from the ground up. And apparently, while I was gone, she told the local paper we were engaged.It was just supposed to help with PR. She didn't think the story would take off. She definitely didn't think the whole town would throw us an engagement party. And me? I didn't think I'd kiss her in front of everyone just to make it look real.Only . . . that kiss didn't feel fake. Not to me.Now we're living under the same roof, pretending to be planning a wedding, and I'm trying not to fall harder than I already have. She's everything I never let myself want—funny, stubborn, generous, and so far out of my league I should have deployed again just to get my head on straight.But Tate's not the only one hiding something. And if this fake engagement blows up in our faces, I could lose a whole lot more than my business. I could lose her.

  For thousands of years two distinct cultures evolved unaware of one another's existence. Separated by what one culture called The Great Sea and known to the other as the Atlantic Ocean, the course of each culture's future changed irreversibly four hundred years ago. In 1620 the Mayflower delivered 102 refugees and fortune seekers from England to Cape Cod, where these two cultures first encountered one another. The English sought religious freedom and fresh financial opportunities. The Natives were recovering from the Great Dying of the past several years that left over two-thirds of their people in graves. How would they react to one another? How might their experience shape modern cross-cultural encounters?
