Sinossi

In "Medium Boiled," Thomson Burtis presents a masterful blend of noir and psychological intrigue, set against the backdrop of a contemporary urban landscape teeming with moral ambiguity. The narrative unfolds through richly drawn characters, whose flawed choices illuminate the complexities of human nature. Burtis employs a taut, atmospheric prose style that mirrors the tension and unease permeating the story, making the reader question the boundaries between good and evil. Amidst the grit and gloom, themes of redemption and the search for identity emerge, drawing parallels with classic hardboiled fiction while refreshing the genre with a modern sensibility. Thomson Burtis, an accomplished writer recognized for his keen insights into the human psyche, utilizes his background in psychology to inform the intricate character arcs within this novel. His experiences and observations of urban life serve as both inspiration and setting, offering a profound exploration of the emotional landscapes that define contemporary existence. Burtis's previous works have been celebrated for their deft characterizations and complex narratives, creating anticipation for this latest contribution to the literary scene. "Medium Boiled" is a compelling read for those who appreciate literature that transcends simple classification, inviting readers to delve into a world where every decision is fraught with consequence. Ideal for fans of noir fiction and psychological thrillers alike, this novel promises an engaging exploration of humanity'Äôs darker facets while still offering glimmers of hope.

    Originally published in 1866 under the pseudonym "A. M. Barnard." Louisa May Alcott's novel of romance and sexual intrigue is one of her lesser-known gems. Its tone and characterizations strike a markedly different chord from her best-known works, such as "Little Women" and "Little Men," and it remains a popular addition to her oeuvre.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    After nearly a year out of the game, former soldier turned private detective John "Slim" Hardy takes what he hopes will be an easy comeback case in the quiet Devonshire town of Launceston. The disappearance in mysterious circumstances of local schoolgirl Emily Martin left police clueless. After being missing for eight days, her sudden reappearance left them equally baffled. Apparently unharmed, Emily claimed no memory of her period of abduction, and in time, the investigation faded. 
    Two years later, as her relationship with her daughter falls apart, Emily's desperate mother Georgia turns to Slim, wanting answers. 
    Her eight days missing has changed Emily, so much so that Georgia is unsure the girl is even her daughter at all ... 
    From the author of The Man by the Sea and The Clockmaker's Secret, comes another stunning mystery, one which will keep you guessing to the last page.
