  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Another excellent thriller…leading to an electrifying conclusion' Kathleen on Without Trace
  She opened her mouth to scream, but he slapped something across her lips. The gag tasted of salt and mould, rough sacking on her tongue.
  With a terrifying certainty, she knew she was going to die.
  DI Geraldine Steel knows people go missing all the time; sometimes because they don't want to be found. So when her partner Ian asks her to look into the disappearance of his friend's girlfriend, her first instinct is to reassure him there's no need for concern.
  Until she's called to a suspected murder, and all her instincts tell her she's right about the identity of the victim.
  The young woman has earth and leaf mould and fragments of twigs in her long fair hair, her nose, her mouth, under her finger nails, clinging to her clothes.
  It's as if she'd been completely encased in earth.
  And yet she was found on the pavement, at the side of a suburban road, where she wasn't in contact with any soil or mud.
  Had she managed to escape a living grave?
  She needs to find out what really happened. Where did the assault occur?
  Why are there traces of DNA from two other unidentified sources on the body?
  What reason could there be to attack a popular young woman who never did anyone any harm?
  And why bury her body so carelessly that she was able to escape?
  Then another young woman is reported missing. Unless he has an accomplice, they have an innocent man in custody. And Steel is running out of time . . .
  A page-turning puzzle of a case with an unexpected final twist. If you're a fan of Angela Marsons, Mel Sherratt and Karin Slaughter, you'll love Leigh Russell.
  Can be read as a stand-alone.

  This book is designed initially for Japanese learners, N5 to N3, but it's also suitable for people looking for a bilingual novel in Japanese and English. 
  The main character, Kevin Cartwright, visits Japan on Working Holiday, and he falls in love with a Japanese woman who is a colleague of his Japanese best friend, Yukio. And Tomoko, an almost "Yandere" woman who loves Yukio, is involved in Kevin's life. The four main characters weave this story. Kevin enjoys living in Japan, but he wants to remain there after his expired visa. The readers would experience through Kevin living in Tokyo; how to write a Japanese CV, manners, and culture. Through the stories, I introduce many idioms and expressions native Japanese use. It consists of 16 chapters, and each one comes along with word lists and 20 JLPT practice tests. This book is also great for intermediate levels because they need to understand more natural living Japanese. The audible version comes soon! The learners can listen to the stories in both English and Japanese and practice pronouncing words. I hope you enjoy studying Japanese with this book!

  The Tempest

  William Shakespeare

  ""Our revels now are ended... this rough magic I here abjure..."" 
  In Shakespeare hinting at the end of his own magnificent career in these and others lines spoken by the great magician, Prospero? The Tempest was the last of Shakespeare's comedies, completed just before he retired to his native Stratford-upon-Avon; perhaps this delightful comedy was intended to signal the playwright's farewell to his beloved theater. The Tempest reflects Shakespeare's mature genius, with its story of innocence tempered by intrigue, hilarity bounded by melancholy. Audiences the world over still thrill to The Tempest's dark comedy and magical fantasy. 
  Sir Michael Redgrave and Vanessa Redgrave helped to build one of England's foremost theatrical families-- a tradition that Ms. Redgrave continues today. And Hugh Griffith is one of the nation's greatest character actors. Together, they bring The Tempest majestically to life.

  Still Life With Octopus

  Tania Hershman's Still Life With Octopus is an exquisitely-attuned second collection, a philosophical and poetic interrogation of the boundaries of animal and human worlds and the intimate nature of time, being and joy. Exploring the slippage between the life of the mind and the life of the body - in particular, those belonging to women – Hershman wonders what might happen if we let go of our preconceptions of both reality and language, taking nothing for granted and starting again from first principles, with fresh eyes.
  While trying to fathom our physical and metaphysical existence, Hershman doesn't ignore the other forms of intelligent life we share our planet with; her octopus is envisioned both as a creature within and alongside us and as a way to consider our place as humans within a greater chain of co-existence. Still Life With Octopus is a precisely observed and open-hearted gift of a book.

  In the year 1983, a cargo plane crashes onto a desert island, somewhere in the Caribbean. The four survivors know their priorities well: find shelter, find food and fresh water, get rescued, and, above all, find the mysterious missing cargo. But, as time passes by, these priorities wane, as all of them seem to be having too good of a time. As they get to know each other better, they start re-examining their whole lives and the paths that led them to this island. 
  In the year 2028, a woman called Clarice Skaugen returns to her childhood home in Minneapolis for a family gathering. She is haunted and driven by nostalgia and memories of her childhood days, but she quickly puts it all aside when she realizes that her twin brother is missing, and that it seems like she is the only one in the family that notices or cares at all about his disappearance. 
  These two narratives twist around each other only to converge in an exciting finale and provide the answers sought from the start, not just "what" and "how", but, more importantly, "why".
