Sinopsis

Betrayal, adultery, arrogance, rape and seduction rip apart lives of contentment and fulfilment in a quiet corner of Middle England.

When businessman Hugh Steadman rekindles an adulterous relationship, he sets in train a series of events which will not only threaten his marriage but will also lead the way to his eventual downfall and destruction. Florence, Hugh's intellectual wife, is immersed in writing about the C18 world of consuls and courtiers. Alexander, his social-worker son, is despairing of his gay partner, Gary, caught up in a life of crime. For the Steadmans, Hugh's actions become an unstoppable force for change.

Against a backdrop of a house in the country, a garden open to the public, and a Midsummer Madness party, The Sulking House develops the themes of temptation, human frailty and failure. It also points the way towards resilience, resolve and the nature of forgiveness.

The Eclogues

Virgil

Virgil’s Eclogues (also known as Bucolics) is a collection of ten pastoral poems that idealize rural life in the Italian countryside. Written in the tradition of Greek bucolic poetry, particularly inspired by Theocritus, the Eclogues depict shepherds singing, competing in poetic contests, and lamenting lost love and displacement. Set against the backdrop of civil unrest and land confiscations in 1st-century BCE Rome, the poems blend idyllic imagery with subtle political commentary. Figures of hope, such as the prophesied birth of a divine child in the Fourth Eclogue, reflect contemporary longing for peace and renewal. Through lush language and elegant form, Virgil explores themes of love, loss, nature’s beauty, and the contrast between urban turmoil and rural harmony. The Eclogues established the pastoral tradition in Western literature, influencing poets for centuries with their lyrical grace and emotional depth.

The first serious study of the Gothic: Walpole, Radcliffe, Lewis, Maturin and Mary Shelley traced from the Castle of Otranto to the Brontës, with the Minerva Press hacks given their due. Edith Birkhead lectured at Bristol and published this in 1921, when the whole genre was considered beneath notice — every academic history of horror since stands on it. Fifty-nine plates, from Piero della Francesca to Odilon Redon, gather castles, witches, moonlight and ruined abbeys — the visual Gothic that haunted the novels.

Maisy Farley, a Georgia peach transplanted to Pittsburgh, has won the hearts of her audience as their favorite hometown news anchor for seven years running. Then she dared to report the truth about the influential and eccentric billionaire who bought the TV station where she’s worked for over a decade. Now, she’s out of a job but sitting on a pile of money thanks to the golden parachute in her contract. It’s the perfect time to follow her dream of being an independent investigative reporter. 
 
But Maisy’s plans are falling apart. The station’s delaying her payout, and her savings are dwindling fast. Worse yet, she can’t seem to land her first story. Then she encounters the ex-wife of Landon Lewis, a brilliant but troubled tech genius who jumped to his death. 
 
His still-reeling ex-wife insists he was pushed: Why would he kill himself when he was on the cusp of receiving a one-hundred-million-dollar windfall? Maisy has no idea, but she knows one thing: she’s just found her story. All she has to do is follow the money—and stay alive long enough to break the story. 
 
Longtime readers of the Sasha McCandless legal thrillers have known Maisy for years. Now, Sasha's irrepressible friend takes center stage in a mystery of her own. Steeltown Magnolia will both delight Sasha fans and serve as the perfect chance for new readers to dive into the interconnected world of Melissa F. Miller’s mysteries and thrillers.
