Synopsis

'[A] warm and witty exploration of our hidden vulnerabilities' - Catherine Simpson
Ellis's life has crumbled without warning. Her boyfriend has fallen in love with someone else, her job's insecure, her bank account's empty and she has a mouthful of unreliable teeth. Forced back to her childhood home, there is little in the way of comfort. Her mum is dating a younger man (a dentist, no less) and is talking of selling the house, her sister, Lana, is furious all the time, and a distant cousin has now arrived from the States to stay with them.
During a long, hot Edinburgh summer, Ellis's world spins out of control. She's dogged by toothache, her ex won't compensate her for the flat and somehow she's found herself stalking his new lover on Facebook.
Will Ellis realise before it's too late that the bite she was born with is worth preserving?
'There's a huge emotional punch packed into this deceptively light novel' - Sally Morris, Daily Mail
For fans of Sally Rooney, Meg Mason and Marian Keyes.

    In Death Makes A Mistake, P. F. Costello delivers a witty, noir-tinged comedy of errors that follows the hapless Reggie Van Fiddler as he stumbles into a most unfortunate appointment—with Death himself. Reggie, a cocktail-loving bon vivant with a knack for bad timing, finds his leisurely day at the club disrupted by the unsettling presence of Mr. Demise, a small, impeccably dressed man claiming to be Death’s emissary. 
    What follows is a hilarious series of misadventures as Reggie, more annoyed than afraid, scrambles to outwit his unwanted visitor. But as it turns out, even Death can have an off day. Between bureaucratic blunders, misplaced assignment books, and one too many martinis, Mr. Demise proves himself less an ominous specter and more a bumbling rookie on his first job. 
    With a delightful mix of supernatural satire and detective pulp charm, Death Makes A Mistake is a fast-paced romp through life, death, and the perils of poor paperwork. 
    Perfect for fans of vintage noir comedies, Douglas Adams-style dark humor, and anyone who enjoys watching Death get flustered.

    From USA Today bestselling author Rochelle Paige comes a single-mom, opposites-attract, billionaire romance about coming home and finding love under the worst of circumstances. 
     
     
     
    Skylar Hicks had nothing in common with the wealthy outsider of the town's founding family. Jumping back into the dating pool with anyone was the last thing she had time for, and certainly not with Baxter Moore after how awful things had gone when they first met. 
     
     
     
    No matter how gorgeous he was. Or determined. 
     
     
     
    After a devastating loss, Baxter's priorities shifted. He left the big city behind so he could reconnect with his extended family. Dating was the last thing on his mind . . . until Skylar's righteous fury made a big impression. He knew he should stay away from the beautiful single mom, but Baxter couldn't get her out of his mind. 
     
     
     
    Going after what he wanted had been the key to Baxter's success. And he wanted Skylar. Badly. 
     
     
     
    He thought coming home would be the biggest change of his life, but he was wrong. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
