Second Chance at the Finish Line

Rachel Ashwood

Sinopsis

Description：
On the day she decided to leave her husband, he pushed her down the stairs.

When Vivian opened her eyes, she was back in tenth grade — top student, bright future ahead, the college entrance exam two years away.

She had made one catastrophic mistake in her previous life: trusting the wrong people. The man who seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime love had been a deliberate fiction. The best friend who stood by her through every disaster had been the architect of every disaster.

This time, Vivian sees it all before it begins.

*Second Chance at the Finish Line* is a sharp, satisfying story of rebirth and retribution — a young woman who died before she could live, given one more attempt to get it right. She knows the playbook. She knows the players.

This time, she's not playing defense.

The exam is waiting. So is she.

James Alan Ross

Since their marriage ten years earlier, Ayla Cruz and Bailey Morrow have built an incredible life together. After Ayla chose journalism over music, she became one of the country’s most respected investigative reporters.

A Trace of Poison

Colleen Cambridge

In England's stately manor houses, murder is not generally a topic for polite conversation. Mallowan Hall, home to Agatha Christie and her husband, Max, is the exception. And housekeeper Phyllida Bright delights in discussing gory plot details with her friend and employer . . . 
 
 
  
The neighboring village of Listleigh has also become a hub of grisly goings-on, thanks to a Murder Fête organized to benefit a local orphanage. Members of The Detection Club—a group of celebrated authors such as G. K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Agatha herself—will congregate for charitable events, including a writing contest for aspiring authors. The winner gets an international publishing contract, and entrants have gathered for a cocktail party—managed by the inimitable Phyllida—when murder strikes too close even for her comfort. 
 
 
  
It seems the victim imbibed a poisoned cocktail intended for Alastair Whittlesby, president of the local writers' club. The insufferable Whittlesby is thought to be a shoo-in for the prize, and ambition is certainly a worthy motive. But narrowing down these suspects could leave even Phyllida's favorite fictional detective, M. Poirot, twirling his mustache in frustration.
