  A retired librarian turned detective. A sarcastic orange cat. A dead body in a locked bar in a charming seaside town full of secrets. 
  The champion of Oceanview Cove's first boat racing tournament barely has time to celebrate his victory before he's found dead inside the locked Salty Breeze. And like the killer who vanished without a trace, a hundred thousand dollars in prize money is nowhere to be found. For Jim Butterfield and his feline partner Ginger, this case defies all logic. 
  As they investigate the impossible crime, each clue only adds to their confusion. They learn the champion hid his prize money after the race, but in a case where everyone has an alibi and nothing makes sense, Jim and Ginger must look beyond the obvious to discover the truth hiding in plain sight. 
  Can our detective duo solve this locked-room mystery and recover the missing money before the killer finds it first? 
  The Body in the Bar is the sixth book in the Jim and Ginger cozy mystery series full of twists and fun. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.

  "The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault" by Charles Perrault is a collection of classic fairy tales written in the late 17th century. This anthology features famous stories such as "Little Red Riding Hood," "Cinderella," and "Blue Beard," among others, which have been beloved for generations. Each tale intertwines moral lessons with enchanting narratives, highlighting themes of transformation, curiosity, and the trials of love. The opening of this collection sets the stage for the magical worlds Perrault creates. It begins with "Little Red Riding Hood," where a naive young girl is sent to visit her grandmother, unwittingly encountering the cunning Wolf. This tale quickly establishes the dichotomy between innocence and deception, foreshadowing the dangers that come from straying from the path of caution. The subsequent story, "The Fairy," introduces a young girl who is rewarded for her kindness with the gift of jewels and flowers with every word spoken, in stark contrast to her ungracious sister, who is cursed to spew snakes and toads. Through these initial narratives, Perrault masterfully illustrates the interplay of virtue and vice, setting the tone for the whimsical and moralistic storytelling that follows.
  
  Contents: Little Red Riding-Hood / The Fairy / Blue Beard / The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood / The Master Cat or Puss in Boots / Cinderilla or The Little Glass Slipper / Riquet with the Tuft / Little Thumb / The Ridiculous Wishes / Donkey-Skin

  Mike is a foley artist who traveled from England to work with his friend Dwain—the first foley artist in the porn industry.
   
  On set, Mike finds himself drawn to Chloe, an actress who looks like Marilyn Monroe… if she’d been involved in an industrial accident. The loss of her leg hasn’t stopped Chloe from becoming a top star in Freak Porn.
   
  Inspired by his feelings for her, Mike sets out to bring a touch of artistry to the sleaziest corner of cinema by creating tastefully erotic films featuring abnormally shaped performers.
   
  Dwain, however, sees greater profits on the horizon if they push Freak Porn to its nauseating extreme.
   
  Monster Porn is a disturbing, one-sitting novelette—a transgressive, pitch-black satire of the fetid climate of the porn industry, where ambition rots, art dies, and nothing is too extreme.
