A Memorable Murder

Celia Thaxter

On a cold, moonlit night in March 1873, a horrific double murder shattered the peace of Smutty-Nose Island, one of the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire. In this haunting true account, Celia Thaxter—a resident of the Shoals and one of the first responders to the tragedy—recounts the chilling events with vivid clarity and emotional depth. 
Through Thaxter’s eloquent prose, we come to know the victims: kind-hearted Norwegian immigrants whose peaceful, humble lives were suddenly ended by a man they had trusted as family. A Memorable Murder is more than a true-crime narrative—it is a poetic, harrowing lament for innocence lost, justice sought, and lives forever changed by one man’s calculated violence. 
Narrated with stark emotional resonance by Tony J. Martin, this audiobook revives one of New England’s most infamous crimes with historical precision and literary grace.

The Art of Resilience

Ross Edgley

‘Incredible individual, incredible book, incredible story.’ CHRIS HEMSWORTH 
‘A hero who is as humble as he is resilient… testament to a “never give up” spirit!’ BEAR GRYLLS 
‘From reading this book, the message that comes shining through is this: you can achieve anything.’ ANT MIDDLETON 
'Inspiring, especially if you're suffering with adversity, injury or setbacks.' CHRIS WILLIAMSON 
Bestselling author and award-winning adventurer Ross Edgley has been studying the art of resilience for years, applying all he has learned to become the first person in history to swim around Great Britain, breaking multiple world records. Now Ross focuses on mental strength, stoicism and the training needed to create an unbreakable body. 
Ross Edgley famously ran a marathon pulling a 1.4-tonne car and climbed a rope the height of Everest (8,848m), after living with Yamabushi warrior monks in Japan and partaking in Shamanic pain rituals with fire ants in the Amazon jungle. On his epic 1,780-mile journey around Great Britain, which lasted 157 days, Ross swam through giant jellyfish, arctic storms, ‘haunted’ whirlpools and polluted shipping lanes, going so hard, and so fast, his tongue fell apart. 
Ross’s previous book, The World’s Fittest Book, was a Sunday Times bestseller and explored the science of physical fitness. Now, in The Art of Resilience, Ross uses his swim experience and other amazing endurance feats, where he managed to overcome seemingly insurmountable pain, hardship and adversity, to study the performance of extreme athletes, military and fitness specialists and psychologists to uncover the secrets of mental fitness and explore the concept of resilience, persistence, valour and a disciplined mindset in overcoming adversity. This ground-breaking book represents a paradigm shift in what we thought the human body and mind were capable of and will give you a blueprint to become a tougher, more resilient and ultimately better human – whatever the challenge you face. 
Ross Edgley's The Art of Resilience is a compelling autobiography that explores his journey of personal growth and success. As a Sunday Times bestselling author, his experiences in sports and adventures, particularly swimming and diving, serve as a testament to his resilience. 
For fans of David Goggins (Never Finished), Michael Matthews (Thinner Leaner Stronger), Ryan Holiday (The Obstacle is the Way), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Be Useful), and Jocko Willink (The Code. the Evaluation. the Protocols).
