  First published in 1935, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is Traven's most famous and enduring work, the dark, savagely ironic, and riveting story of three down-and-out Americans hunting for gold in Sonora. 
  What people have to say about the book:  
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brilliant, radical, underrated, economically written in every sense of the word. I'm a big fan of the movie and I enjoyed the book even more.  
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's a must-read for lovers of crime novels of both the mystery & detective version and westerns. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A suspenseful read with many exciting Adventures that make you never wan't to put it down. I suggest this book to readers of all ages. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I find this story (both the book and the movie) truly horrifying in that it explores the depths of the human mind in terms of greed and conscience. These traits are expressed explicitly through Dobbs.

  🎂 Wedding cake artist Buttercup Bliss is preparing for the social event of the season when the bride's controlling mother is found dead, her body arranged dramatically atop a three-tier cake stand in Buttercup's own kitchen. The police suspect a simple heart attack, but Buttercup notices the cake stand has been tampered with and the victim's final bite of cake contains a mysterious ingredient not found in any of her recipes. With her reputation as the town's premier baker crumbling faster than a dry cake, Buttercup must whip up her own investigation. Assisted by her cake-decorating apprentice and the groom's suspiciously knowledgeable brother, she uncovers a multi-layered conspiracy involving blackmail, stolen inheritance, and decades-old family recipes. From coded messages written in icing to cake layers that reveal different baking techniques, every tier tells part of the story. But when Buttercup discovers the victim was systematically destroying local bakeries to eliminate competition for her own daughter's planned bakery chain, she realizes the killer might be someone she's been frosting alongside for years. With the wedding rapidly approaching and the real killer still mixing in plain sight, Buttercup must slice through the sweet deception before she becomes the next layer in this deadly confection.

  'It's the epitome of that great saying, "Just one more chapter!" Then you discover you've read another five. Highly recommend as a great psychological thriller.' Joy Ellis 
  I want to be ordinary. To fade into the shadows where no one notices me and live a quiet life. A normal life. 
  But I am not ordinary. Not anymore. 
  I’ve been keeping a secret. From my colleagues, my friends and most importantly, my husband - who knows nothing of my past life. 
  Twenty years ago, at college, a boy became obsessed with me. Craig Lane believed he could make me love him back if he just tried harder. When I rejected him, he did something so horrifying, it’s the stuff of nightmares. All my nightmares. 
  Now I’ve been informed by Victim Support Services, that boy - now a man - has been released from prison. The news terrifies me. 
  Am I safe? Or does Craig still carry the same obsession he did when we were seventeen? I don’t know. I’ve ignored every letter he’s ever sent me. 
  Now strange things have started to happen: flowers have been left on my doorstep, my cat keeps going missing. Someone is watching me. Knows where I live. I am sure. 
  Worse, something even more sinister could be stalking me from the shadows. Because I have another secret... 
  My past is coming to get me. One way or another.
