Beschreibung

After a messy divorce, Peter Ord decides to turn his life around and become a private investigator. But with his constant drinking and questionable decision-making skills, his new career quickly turns into a dark farce filled with tragicomedy.
 
As he takes on challenging cases and tries to keep up with his boozy sidekick Bryn Laden, Peter finds himself on the wrong side of a local crime lord's radar. Failure is not an option, but with Peter's track record, it seems to be a foregone conclusion.
 
Get ready for a wild ride with Peter Ord and his misadventures as a private eye.

    Anthony - The Shackleford...

    Get ready for more laughter and sparkling romance in this, the final instalment of the Shackleford Sisters… 
    Anthony Shackleford had long been acquainted with the word duty. Indeed, since the moment he could walk, it had been drummed into him every Friday between the hours of two and four in the afternoon, accompanied by tea and apple cake. His mother had always been especially partial to apple cake. 
     
    The essence of his obligation was this. The Duke of Blackmore could not be expected to keep his in-laws into their twilight years. Despite the fact that his sisters had all made extremely advantageous marriages, as the only son, it was his job to ensure his parents a comfortable dotage. So, for the most part, his duty had always appeared very simple. Marry an heiress, preferably with a title. But while Anthony was handsome enough to capture the eye of even the pickiest of debutantes, the fact that the Duke had seen fit to gift him with a manor house and twelve acres would certainly help in winning over any unduly ambitious mothers. 
     
    Though grateful for his brother in law’s generosity, Anthony was nevertheless determined not to hang onto his benefactor’s coat tails and stubbornly declared he would undertake the repairs to Bovey Manor himself. Unfortunately, that meant he would have to temporarily set aside his duty since the renovations were likely to take some time… 
     
    Georgiana didn’t know her last name. In fact it was only by accident that she discovered her first one. Raised in the slums of Exeter, she’d been George to everyone for as long as she could remember and no one but her foster family had any idea she was a girl. She knew nothing of where she came from, only that Henry and Martha Atkins were being paid to keep her alive. Indeed, she’d always been a pain in her foster father’s slovenly arse - until she began to blossom into womanhood. As he suddenly started looking for ways to be alone with her, Georgiana realised she had to escape. 
     
    But Henry Atkins was not about to simply let her go. In truth, he dared not, since she was the key to plans years in the making… 
     
    When Anthony crossed paths with a raggedy arsed lad named George, employing him out of pity to help with the renovations to Bovey Manor, he had no inkling that his life was about to change forever, and duty would be the very last thing on his mind… 
     
    Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...

    The story attempts a funny pot-shot at the polarization of two diametrically opposing political philosophies, namely, socialism and capitalism. The narrative of the plot, built around a humorous discord between these two seeming mutually exclusive but equally susceptible political tenets, is manifested in a verbal duel where each proponent lays bare the demerits of the opposing system.  
    The icing on the cake is the witty social contextualization of the plot by the legendary humorist - Rajshekhar Basu alias Parashuram or Parashurama or Parshuram, which helps expose the vulnerability and scope of corruption under either system with a tongue-in-cheek commentary suggesting possible atonement only under divine intervention in a purported afterlife. Wickedly funny dissection of our existential confusion regards our political consciousness; the story is food for thought for self-reflection in steering our life’s priorities.

    All Naya and Jake want is their own home. That's not too much to ask, right? 
    ‘A wildly original, darkly funny love story about desperation, house prices, and making terrible decisions together. Most Wanted is criminally good’ Steve Jones 
    ‘Fresh, original and absolutely brimming with energy. One of the very best crime capers I’ve read in a LONG time’ Jonathan Whitelaw 
    'The protagonists' desperation for affordable housing is completely relatable for anyone who has tried to buy a house this century. This book was quick, funny, and captured the very real financial struggles of the moment' Tasha Coryell 
    ‘A brilliantly funny and twisty thriller. As dark as it is hilarious, with relatable characters that you really care about, this book really delves into the dark world of gentrification and property while still being a wonderfully entertaining ride of a book’ Kate Weston 
    ‘I tore through this hilarious, twisty and poignant story of two people desperate for a home of their own. It's a must read for anyone who's ever bought a property… or dreamt about doing so. A fabulous takedown of our national obsession with home ownership.’ Lauren Schott 
    'A deliciously fresh take on the housing market, terrific fun' Ian Moore 
    'Most Wanted somehow makes the headache of first-time home ownership a gripping, pacy and funny story, loaded with twists and turns that keep you guessing right up to that gut punch ending. I loved it' Dawn O'Porter 
    *** 
    All Naya and Jake want is their own home. An island in the kitchen. A wine cooler, maybe… Nothing fancy really. 
    With artisanal coffee shops and microbreweries popping up on every corner, prices are skyrocketing. And as Jake and Naya tour property after property, one thing becomes clear: unless they want to share their home with black mould, they need to find a way to make the market crash. And fast. 
    There’s only one thing for it: they're going to have to take matters into their own hands. But how far are they willing to go? 
    For fans of Talia Hibbert (Act Your Age, Eve Brown), Charish Reid (Mickey Chambers Shakes It Up), Kennedy Ryan (Can’t Get Enough), Beth O'Leary (Swept Away), and Ruth Kelly (The Ice Retreat).

    Ten years ago, my high school crush found me during senior finals week in the student parking lot with my car decorated with items you find behind a drugstore counter and a Most Likely to... banner that would make a pro blush. And by pro, I don't mean golf. In under an hour, everything I knew about myself was turned upside down and inside out, just as our high school career was in its final hours. Then again, he's the high school quarterback. He's used to performing when the clock's running out. Me? I perform well under pressure, too. But not when Will Lotham is about to kiss me.
