  Self-taught "seer" Shay has much to learn as autumn hits the quaint coastal town of Bray Harbor. Since attempting the art of blending herbs at her popular shop, Crystals & CuriosiTeas, she's set on growing ingredients in the mysterious greenhouse on the second floor—if only she can separate the medicinal plants from the deadly ones. Her new skills are put to the test when she meets pub owner and ex-detective Liam Madigan's Gran. A psychic from Ireland known for interpreting tea leaves and people, Gran encourages Shay to build upon her natural talents and hold her own group reading . . . 
   
   
   
  Despite Shay's reservations about putting herself in the spotlight, the evening goes off without a hitch. At least, until she does a reading and a customer goes from chatty to dead in a flash, poisoned after sipping a toxic substance recently grown in the greenhouse. Worse, Shay's assistant is suspected of intentionally serving the lethal brew and committing cold-blooded murder. Now, aided only by Liam and her dog Spirit, Shay must exonerate her employee and save the future of Crystals & CuriosiTeas. But when clues start lining up like leaves in a teacup, she'll need to understand the signs right in front of her to catch the manipulative murderer before it's too late . . .

  The first English-language story collection from "one of Iran's most important living fiction writers" (Guardian) 
   
   
   
  In Seasons of Purgatory, the fantastical and the visceral merge in tales of tender desire and collective violence, the boredom and brutality of war, and the clash of modern urban life and rural traditions. Mandanipour, banned from publication in his native Iran, vividly renders the individual consciousness in extremis from a variety of perspectives: young and old, man and woman, conscript and prisoner. While delivering a ferocious social critique, these stories are steeped in the poetry and stark beauty of an ancient land and culture.

  From New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Terri Blackstock comes a powerful story of love, loss, and the healing grace of second chances, perfect for fans of Karen Kingsbury and Francine Rivers. 
  When Wes Grayson spots a mysterious woman photographing his six-year-old daughter, his protective instincts ignite. Amy, his adoptive daughter, is the center of his world and any threat to Amy is a threat to Wes. 
  But what Wes doesn't know is that the woman behind the camera, Laney Fields, is Amy's birth mother. Laney has no desire to threaten anyone, just a longing to see the child she'd brought into the world six years ago and then been forced to release for adoption. Laney yearns to be a part of her daughter's life again and, after the passing of Amy's adoptive mother, wonders if she's been given a second chance.

Both must confront their fears, their faith, and their pull to each other as they navigate the fragile balance between protection and grace. And standing between them all is one small child--whose innocent heart may be the key to their healing. 
  With its tender emotion and unforgettable characters, the first book in Terri Blackstock's Second Chances series will capture your heart and stay with you long after the last page. Discover why millions of readers have fallen in love with Terri Blackstock's storytelling today.

  A collection of fifteen stories, eleven of which have never been previously published, from the early career of bestselling American master Elmore Leonard. 
  Over his long and illustrious career, Elmore Leonard was recognized as one of the greatest crime writers of all time, the author of dozens of bestselling books—many adapted for the big screen—as well as a master of short fiction. A superb stylist whose crisp, tight prose crackled with trademark wit and sharp dialogue, Leonard remains the standard for crime fiction and a literary model for writers of every genre. 
  Marked by his unmistakable grit and humor, the stories in Charlie Martz and Other Stories—produced early in his career, when he was making his name particularly with westerns—reveal a writer in transition, exploring new voices and locations, from the bars of small-town New Mexico and Michigan to a film set in Hollywood, a hotel in Southern Spain, even a military base in Kuala Lumpur. They also introduce us to classic Leonard characters, some who recur throughout the collection, such as aging lawman Charlie Martz and weary former matador Eladio Montoya. 
  Devoted Leonard aficionados and fans new to his fiction will marvel at these early works that reveal an artist on the cusp of greatness.

  When Ed Finnlay - computer programmer and devoted father of two - goes missing, there's not a lot the local police can do. After all, Ed himself told them he would be gone ... for quite some time. As the weeks go by with no news, his wife reaches out to Jack and Sarah for help. But they soon learn that there are odd secrets about this missing husband and that he might not only be gone, but also in serious danger. Can Jack and Sarah do what seems impossible ... and find Ed Finlay?
  
  
  
  Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.
