Sinopsis

In "The Case for Letitia Carberry, Tish," Mary Roberts Rinehart weaves a captivating narrative that follows the adventurous escapades of the indomitable Letitia Carberry, affectionately known as Tish. Rinehart's distinctive style combines elements of detective fiction and humor, creating a delightful atmosphere where mystery and whimsy intertwine. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story reflects the social dynamics and burgeoning independence of women during this transformative period, as Tish, with her audacious spirit, becomes an archetype of the modern female sleuth. Mary Roberts Rinehart, often heralded as the 'American Agatha Christie,' was a prolific writer whose works spanned multiple genres, including mystery and romance. Having experienced significant personal and societal changes in her lifetime, Rinehart drew upon her observations of female agency and societal expectations to create complex, relatable characters. "Tish," initially appearing in a series of short stories, evolved into this full-length novel, displaying Rinehart's keen understanding of her audience's desire for engaging and strong female protagonists. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of humor and mystery, particularly those looking to explore early representations of female empowerment in literature. Rinehart's skillful prose and the endearing charm of Tish will not only entertain but also provoke thoughtful reflection on the evolving roles of women in society.

The Sickness Unto Death and...

Sophia Blackwell

he Sickness Unto Death, and Other Fun Danish Party Games: Kierkegaard Without the Prozac is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally insightful, and occasionally soul-crushing guide to philosophy’s original sadboy, Søren Kierkegaard. 
Tired of reading philosophy that feels like intellectual sandpaper? This book unpacks Kierkegaard’s anxiety-fueled, despair-drenched theology with the humor and honesty it desperately needs. From aesthetic dead-ends to existential panic, from absurd leaps of faith to spiritual ghosting, this irreverent (but accurate!) guide doesn’t just explain Kierkegaard—it translates him for the modern reader who’s spiritually curious and emotionally exhausted. 
Perfect for readers who love philosophy but hate philosophers, theology with a side of dark humor, and the occasional mental breakdown in pursuit of authenticity. 
What you’ll get inside: 
Pseudonyms, despair, and that one time Abraham almost committed murder in the name of faith 
The aesthetic life: fun until it isn’t 
Why being a good person might still mean you’re completely lost 
Faith, absurdity, and how to jump into the void without looking down 
Kierkegaard’s existential glow-up in modern philosophy (yes, Sartre, we see you) 
A roadmap for reading his actual books without losing your will to live 
And a final call to wake up and stop living someone else’s life 
No prior philosophy degree required—just a sense of humor, a tolerance for paradox, and maybe a journal for emotional damage control.

Happy Bloody Christmas: Perfect...

Jo Middleton

Don't miss the perfect Christmas present for yourself (or for that best friend who would definitely help you hide a body…)
–––––––––––––––––––––
Anna's Christmas Eve To Do List:
1. Wrap the kids' presents
2. Peel the potatoes
3. Get rid of the dead body?!
Hungover and exhausted after her family's annual party, all Anna Johnson wants for Christmas is to finish her to-do list and finally sit down with the world’s biggest glass of wine.
But when she stumbles across a dead body in her larder, her plans are well and truly buggered.
A mysterious death in her home really is the last thing she needs, but with her judgemental in-laws arriving in less than twenty-four hours, turning her house into a crime scene is not an option. If she’s going to save Christmas, it’s up to Anna to find out what the hell’s gone on. Oh – and figure out what to do with the body before one of the kids finds it.
And you thought burning the turkey was the worst that could happen…
