  While struggling to survive a freezing rainy night in the desert, a homeless man recalls what his grandfather struggled to survive many years earlier and how his connection to this upended his own life. 
  Hermann was the best police detective in Prague's Jewish district of Josefov until the Nazis occupy the city and deport its Jews, and he finds himself in Theresienstadt concentration camp waiting his turn to die. 
  One night he receives a visit from an SS captain named Klaus, who'd been his friend in college before their falling-out over Hermann's future wife Ana. Klaus offers Hermann his freedom if he can discover who murdered three SS officers found near synagogues in Josefov, and he threatens to shoot him if he refuses. 
  Not believing the offer and reeling from the recent loss of Ana, Hermann only agrees to help because of a promise that he'd made to her. But as he delves into the case, he feels it's leading him somewhere and becomes driven to solve it. The two men, in spite of tensions that are threatening to boil over, uncover the pursuit of a mysterious treasure hidden beneath the synagogues. Which leads them toward both the killer and Hermann's fate. 
  A novel that blends historical fiction, mystery, and magic realism, Last Jew in Prague is about lifting yourself up when all you want to do is keep falling. But it's more than a novel. 
  I was your typical urban professional before struggling with homelessness and depression. This story inspired me forward, and I hope you find it as inspiring.

  Oxford private detective Zoë Boehm turns up dead in Newcastle, launching her friend Sarah Tucker into an investigation with several leads—but no one she can trust. 
    
  When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as private detective Zoë Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did Zoë kill herself, or did one of her old cases come back to haunt her? Why was she wearing the jacket a murderer had stolen years before? And what’s brought Sarah’s former sparring partner Gerard Inchon to the same broken-down hotel she’s staying at? Coincidence is an excuse that soon appears pretty unconvincing. Sarah can’t leave until she’s found the answers to her questions, however dangerous they might turn out to be. 
    
  “In this assured mystery from British author Herron … does a nice job of planting red herrings and making [Sarah Tucker's] amateur sleuthing plausible.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

  Charlie receives an assignment to drive a teen runaway girl back to her home in Arizona. It’s about a six hour drive each way, and all she has to do is deliver the girl back to her mother, enjoy a night in a nice hotel, turn around and drive back. She’ll be home in plenty of time to bake the Thanksgiving pies with Elsa and settle into the holiday season back in Albuquerque. Or not. 
  From the get-go, the trip is fraught with problems. Traffic is horrible, weather is moving in, and the only motel they can get into is a dump. Sophie is a 13-year-old with attitude, challenging Charlie to keep her cool at every step. Basically, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong, and the quick job turns into a stress-filled trip. And then there’s a murder. 
  The girl’s mother is a no-show and the dead guy is mom’s boyfriend, leaving Charlie to figure out what she’ll do with this obstinate teen. 
  Things brighten up when Charlie meets a group of five Arizona women who have a bit of experience at the mystery game themselves. The Heist Ladies are on a case with tentacles that overlap with Charlie’s. Working together, can they find the missing mom and get the young teen settled, and will Charlie make it home in time for the holiday?

  From the creator of Hill House Vintage and “Queen of Cottagecore” (Vogue), a fresh, witty, fun, and delightfully quirky cozy crime novel set in a seemingly sleepy English village for fans of Richard Osman, Parini Shroff, Benjamin Stevenson, and Anthony Horowitz. 
    
  “Miss Marple for the 21st Century.”―S.J. Bennett, author of The Windsor Knot 
    
  Welcome to the beautiful, bucolic village of Pudding Corner, where there's death amongst the dahlias … 
    
  Daphne Brewster has gladly swapped south London for Pudding Corner, a Norfolk hamlet full of quintessentially English charm. With a mix of stone cottages, Georgian architecture, and Victorian Gothic houses all nestled together and surrounded by fields of gold and green, Pudding Corner and its neighboring village of Pepperbridge seem as far from the bustle of city living as one can get. 
    
  For Daphne, joy at moving into beautiful Cranberry Farmhouse with her husband, James, and their three young children is tempered by some concerns about being the only Black woman for miles around. But within a few short months, Daphne has become known as the parish’s “Vintage Lady” and has set up her own shop. Business is thriving, and so is her family. As for Pudding Corner, it’s rapidly revealing itself to be filled with complicated, intertwined lives on par with anything she left behind. Then the local school’s headmaster is found dead in his allotment patch, unleashing a storm of secrets and scandal. 
    
  Even a sleepy village has its social hierarchy, and as her new friend, Minerva, becomes a target of whispers and speculation, Daphne can’t resist getting involved. Fighting for the underdog comes as naturally as sourcing the perfect vintage piece. But there is more at stake here than Daphne could have guessed, and a killer who has succeeded once is all too willing to try again …
