  Bye-Bye Bakersfield

  “Don’t tell anyone we’re Democrats,” warned Mother when we moved to  
  Bakersfield, CA, a town often referred to, back then, as redneck central.  
  “And for heaven’s sake, don’t tell them you’re Jewish.”  
  Joan Gratz, author and Academy Award winning director says: “I couldn’t put this book down. The young Jewish narrator reminds me of Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, only with a lot more humor. Watching this brazen, feisty girl butt up against a  
  hostile landscape with humor, naive insight, and the missteps of youth, is what  
  entertainment is all about.”

  William Barrow finds himself in lonely retirement in West Cork. Once an internationally renowned pianist, a terrible skin disease has attacked his hands and made it impossible for him to perform. 
   
  Tara is a piano teacher with barely enough pupils to pay the month's rent. In the local café, the elegant writing of a job advertisement catches her eye: 'WANTED. HOUSEKEEPER.' 
   
  She begins to work in William's house, keeping to herself the knowledge that they have met three times before, encounters that have changed her life. He is oblivious to this, while she spins tales of the well discovered in his back garden and of a mythical saint, of the healing powers of the water and the moss that surrounds it. But as the moss begins to heal William's troubled hands, the lines between legend and reality begin to blur, secrets resurface, and past and present collide in unexpected ways. 
   
  Praise for the author: 
  'One of the most inventive artists of our day' John Banville. 
   
  'This strange relationship – of indenture, but also of mutual need – defines this thrillingly written, gripping tale that revisits many of Jordan's lifelong preoccupations with class, Irishness and sexuality to powerful moving effect' Observer. 
   
  'The historical research is evident [and] as with his previous novels, Jordan creates an evocative sense of time and place... Although the book is an odyssey, tracking thousands of miles across the globe, the pace is leisurely' The Times. 
   
  'Jordan is a writer of uncommon talent, particularly around pacing and visual description' Irish Times. 
   
  'An expertly spun ballad defined by themes of belonging, illusion and, fundamentally, fidelity' ? RTÉ Culture

  After two murders on the premises, the manager of the Morrisey has cracked down on who has access to the building, buying the residents a few months of peace. But the increased security hasn’t made them immune to porch pirates. Packages are disappearing almost as soon as they’re delivered.

  Learning she was the intended target of the chocolates, overly dramatic Winnie Wisteria is inconsolable and quick to point fingers. But as the threats escalate, secretive Winnie must let the other residents into her life if she wants to stay alive.

And will she find the killer before it becomes someone’s final curtain call? 
  Perfect for fans of Eryn Scott’s Pebble Cove Teahouse Mysteries, this new series follows Meg and a lovable cast of residents, both living and not, as they navigate strange happenings in their eccentric downtown Seattle building. This series is clean, without swearing or gore. While each mystery is a standalone, the series is best read in order to avoid spoilers.
