And, in the most highly anticipated sequel since Top Gun: Maverick, Randy continues the conversation with his mother, Gwen, because who knows better than the Jewish mother of a gay man about how to solve America’s problems? Randy Rainbow’s Low Hanging Fruit is a bold manifesto for a nation desperately in need of a makeover.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

In this book written for actual married humans by an actual married human, Dustin shares:Why laughter in your marriage is essential--even in the hard timesWhy in marriage, unlike on Southwest, your baggage does not fly freeAn approach to problem-solving (we're talking money, kids, and in-laws) that brings you closerWhy you should never put Scattergories on your wedding registry

  The bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel “marries comedy and canniness into a novel that’s warm, tolerant, shrewd and exuberant” (The Sunday Times). The demise of Russell Buffery’s latest marriage has put the sixty-one-year-old actor in a reflective mood. After all, his three ex-wives—the journalist, the new-age housewife, the antique dealer—have easily found their way without “Buffy”, and his connections to his children are tenuous at best. Spurned and alone, he still wonders where it all went wrong. Until he meets Celeste . . . Only twenty-three and new to London, the fresh-faced young woman has given Buffy, the hopeless romantic, a new lease on life. But, unknown to Buffy, Celeste has her own agenda. She begins to delve into his past, but discovering each ex-wife leads to another one—not to mention the women on the side. And though Celeste may be in over her head, what is revealed to her will transform her life—and give both her and Buffy a chance to get it right this time around.Praise for Deborah Moggach “Deborah Moggach is brilliant at capturing just the right voice for her characters.” —Cosmopolitan “You’ll be hooked from the first page of this original, funny book . . . Just delicious.” —New Woman “Wonderfully funny.” —Daily Mail “Cracking good dialogue, excellent jokes and laser sharp.” —The Daily Telegraph

  Think your job is purgatory? Try working for the afterlife. 
  For former man of science and very unhappy medium, Dr Newton Barlow, the frontline between good and evil is starting to get old. With Purgatory a mess of hopeless bureaucracy, banal amateurism and unreliable excitement, he’s beginning to crave a challenge. 
  Something big. 
  Something big duly arrives in the form of a crime so cunning, so utterly diabolical, that Barlow and the bumbling Purgatorians are going to have to find a way around their trademark inefficiency, or lose a lot more than their expense accounts. 
  But, with his girlfriend pushing for a slice of the paranormal action, his gothic daughter caught in the crossfire with his ex-wife, and an in-tray awash with humiliating ghost chases, the ever-snarky Dr Barlow is spread thinner than roadkill. Headless horsemen, missing links, killer drones and a sinister jester, Tom Fool is another rollicking comedy from the writer of The Unhappy Medium. 
  A Perfect dark comedy for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore and Jim Butcher . 
  ‘A superb sequel!’  
  ‘… a Pratchett-like quality to the humor, peppered with engaging facts, and a very interesting premise.’  
  ‘Clever, original and hilarious.’  
  ‘Absolutely a standout work!’
