    She spent two years in a time loop. Now she’s ready to solve a murder. And maybe grab a bagel.
     
    The Seven Year Slip meets Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers in this wholly original time loop mystery.
     
    For the past two years, Amie Teller has been stuck in a time loop. Each day, she wakes up, and it’s September 17. Same day, same weather, same people, same conversations. Until one day, it’s September 18, and Amie is free.
     
    Before she can celebrate, Amie learns her neighbor was murdered the day before—the day Amie has lived hundreds of times. Amie knows she has to help; nobody knows yesterday like she does. But acclimating to her new nonrepeating life proves to be more difficult than expected. How does one resume their life after a time loop, anyway?
     
    Assisted by an ex-girlfriend who wants to make their friendship work and a grumpy neighbor who spends his days building Rube Goldberg machines, Amie sets out to track down who killed (and killed and killed and killed) Savannah Harlow.
     
    Readers who love time loop novels, amateur sleuth mysteries, and original takes on classic tropes will love Out of the Loop.

    Giants' Bread Book II - Nell -...

    Agatha Christie

    Book II: Nell carries Giants' Bread from childhood memory into the restless intensity of young adulthood. Vernon Deyre has moved beyond the protected world of Abbots Puissants and into a wider society of artists, friends, expectations, and romantic possibility. His genius is still unformed, but the pressure of it is already alive within him, pulling him away from ordinary happiness and toward a future he does not yet understand. 
    At the center of this volume is Nell, bright, alluring, and emotionally vital. Through her, Vernon discovers the force of romantic love and the ache of wanting to be both wholly known and wholly free. Their relationship is tender, uncertain, and marked by the invisible rival that stands between Vernon and everyone who loves him: music. He longs for domestic joy, yet he is haunted by a calling that no person can fully satisfy. 
    Sebastian Levinne remains a sharp and loyal presence, moving through London society with ambition, irony, and a growing instinct for power. Around Vernon gathers a world of talk, performance, artistic experiment, and social judgment. Every conversation seems to test what he is becoming. Every attachment asks whether love can survive the hunger of genius. 
    Nell is a volume of romance and suspense in the emotional sense: the suspense of a heart divided, of talent still concealed, of a life approaching its decisive break. Agatha Christie, writing with the psychological insight of Mary Westmacott, gives listeners a portrait of youth in which tenderness and ambition are never simple. For anyone drawn to literary romance, artistic obsession, and the cost of becoming extraordinary, Book II is a deeply compelling continuation.

    With the clock running out and the family ready to consign the body to its eternal rest, can Georgia, Mavis, and Benny find justice for the dead? Or will a wee bit of magic be enough to disguise the truth?

    Unable to ignore the threat, Milton sets about protecting mother and son, meeting violence with violence.
