Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the rain-soaked seaside town of Brimsea, time is never as orderly as the council insists.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Anika Mehta likes books, strong tea and knowing exactly where she stands. After being dumped through a shared Google Doc - complete with bullet points, growth areas and an actual pie chart - she has no intention of risking her heart again. Then Benji Fallow walks into Chapter & Verse. He's grumpy, annoyingly attractive and accompanied by Dex, a golden retriever with absolutely no respect for personal boundaries. Worse, Benji is working on the redevelopment next door, and the plans involve construction access through Anika's beloved courtyard. Her answer is simple. Absolutely not. What begins as a battle over scaffolding, tomatoes and one very determined bookseller soon turns into reluctant teamwork, disastrous pub quizzes, rainy walks through Leeds, shared cups of tea - and feelings neither of them planned for. But when Anika discovers the redevelopment threatens more than a few flowerpots, she and Benji find themselves fighting on the same side. Saving the courtyard will mean challenging bad decisions, rallying the neighbourhood and accepting that protecting the things you love doesn't always mean keeping them exactly the same. Falling for Benji requires something even harder. Trusting a future that comes with no guarantees. Warm, funny and full of bookshop chaos, meddling regulars, Yorkshire rain and one scene-stealing golden retriever, Love and Books is a cosy British romantic comedy about finding home, making room for change and choosing love - again and again.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Jasper Knotley notices things. The gate that is usually left open. The parcel that weighs more than it should. The unfamiliar car parked where no unfamiliar car ought to be. It makes him an excellent postman. It also means that when reclusive Tarnstead resident Desmond Blythe is killed in what looks like a hit-and-run, Jasper knows immediately that something is wrong. Soon the ordinary streets of Port Yarrow, Bexley Cove and Tarnstead are hiding rather more than missed deliveries. There's a suspicious bank employee, a theatrical society chair with secrets of her own, a shopkeeper who knows everybody's business, a missing file, a borrowed identity-and a shadow delivery network that someone has worked very hard to keep invisible. Inspector Gavin Paddock would prefer Jasper to leave the investigation to the professionals. Jasper would prefer people to stop leaving clues on his postal route. With the dependable Winston Abbott beside him, Jasper follows a trail of parcels, false collections and tiny inconsistencies towards a killer who has spent years relying on one simple fact: Nobody pays much attention to the people making the deliveries. Unfortunately for him, Jasper Knotley pays attention to everything. SPECIAL DELIVERY: DEATH is a warm, witty British cozy mystery full of suspicious parcels, village secrets, dry humour and a postman who notices what everyone else overlooks.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Norman Crisp works in a council call centre. His job is to deal with the enquiries nobody else wants. Missing bin lids. Overgrown hedges. Incorrectly classified gazebos. Then someone reports a ghost. Next comes a werewolf in Carpetright. A possessed flat-pack wardrobe. Messages from the dead. And a government notification informing Norman that, due to an administrative oversight, his tiny Miscellaneous Public Enquiries Unit is now Britain's official contact point for unexplained, paranormal, mythological and potentially apocalyptic incidents. There is no training. There are no extra staff. And the remaining budget is £43.70. Things become considerably worse when the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse arrive in Croydon insisting that somebody has officially started the end of the world. They didn't do it. They're just here because the paperwork told them to be. Now Norman must navigate secret government departments, ancient supernatural bureaucracy, an increasingly furious public consultation, several versions of himself, thousands of impossible complaints and Pestilence's ongoing dispute with Parking Services. Because somewhere inside two centuries of abandoned paperwork is the reason reality is coming apart. And if Norman can't work out who is responsible, the apocalypse may become official. A fast, absurd British comedy about council bureaucracy, cosmic disaster and the terrifying power of properly completed paperwork.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Marnie Bellrose has inherited a house, a garage full of possibilities - and a neighbourhood with far too many rules. Welcome to Whispering Willows Estates, where lawns are measured, bins are monitored and the homeowners' association has an approved shade for practically everything. Unfortunately, sunflower yellow is not one of them. Within forty-eight hours of moving into her late great-aunt Della's house, chaotic ceramic artist Marnie is already at war with Brenda Halbrook, the terrifying president of the HOA. Their very public argument ends with Marnie declaring that someone should poison her. She probably should have chosen her words more carefully. At the annual spring bake sale, Brenda collapses. Poisoned. Beside her plate is one of Marnie's handmade yellow ceramic flowers. Now Marnie has a motive, a public threat and a particularly incriminating piece of pottery pointing straight at her. Determined to clear her name, she reluctantly joins forces with Nico Ferrell, the infuriatingly organised - and increasingly difficult to ignore - landscaper who seems to understand hedges, drainage and murder investigations with equal seriousness. But Brenda had made enemies everywhere: a neighbour forced to demolish an expensive gazebo, a gossip Brenda had been blackmailing, homeowners pressured into selling, and board members hiding questionable property deals. The deeper Marnie digs, the clearer it becomes that Brenda discovered something dangerous before she died. Someone is watching Whispering Willows very closely. Someone is prepared to manufacture evidence. And someone is determined to make sure Marnie takes the blame. In Whispering Willows, everybody knows everybody's business.And somebody has turned that into murder.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Travel writer Nina Everden boards a suspiciously cheap Mediterranean cruise expecting five days of sunshine, sightseeing and enough bad buffet material to keep her editor happy. By the following morning, the ship is still in Barcelona. And by the morning after that, it is still in Barcelona. Paradise Promises Travel insists everything is under control. The cancelled ports are merely an enhanced itinerary. The compensation comes in vouchers nobody remembers accepting. The complaints keep mysteriously closing themselves. Then somebody steals the captain's dog. Before Nina knows it, she has acquired an unlikely investigation team: retired teachers Jan and Mo Tresswell, luxury influencer Tabitha Wensley, anxious accountant Ollie Fawcett, and irritatingly calm risk consultant Alec Cavell, who seems to know far more about corporate disasters than any ordinary passenger should. As the holiday descends from disappointing to gloriously absurd, Nina begins comparing screenshots, refund offers and suspiciously careful wording. What started as another funny travel column might finally become the serious story she has been waiting for. If Paradise Promises will give them their money back. If Nina can work out what Alec is really doing there. And if the Worst Holiday Club can survive its very first holiday. A warm, witty ensemble travel comedy about bad holidays, good friends, corporate nonsense and the unexpected people you meet when absolutely nothing goes according to plan.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Forensic accountant Mina Kwan trusts numbers, strong coffee and absolutely nothing described as vibrationally charged. So being sent to audit the Zenith Wellness Sanctum - an outrageously expensive mountain retreat offering crystals, fasting, spiritual enlightenment and four-hundred-dollar water - is already testing her patience. Then the retreat's charismatic founder, Brother Bodhi, is found dead in the aerial-yoga pavilion, strangled with an organic silk hammock. Suddenly Mina's audit has become a murder investigation. The victim had plenty of enemies. A furious billionaire claims Zenith sold him glorified tap water. A wellness influencer has secrets she desperately wants deleted. The retreat's co-founder has been cheated out of her company. The doctor refuses to approve dangerous treatments. And beneath Zenith's soothing affirmations and carefully curated serenity, Mina discovers suspicious payments, forged documents and recordings of guests' most private confessions. Someone has been turning vulnerability into leverage. Working alongside Detective Nolan Brier - an annoyingly competent local detective with good coffee, dry humour and an inconvenient ability to make Mina forget she dislikes people - Mina follows the money through shell companies, hidden ownership agreements and years of carefully manufactured lies. But at Zenith, evidence has a habit of pointing at exactly the wrong person. And the closer Mina gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that the retreat's philosophy of letting go may have been taken rather too literally.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Josie Quinn thought becoming a tech company's Chief Carbohydrate Officer might be the strangest career move she'd ever make. Then the CEO drops dead after drinking one of her coffees. Welcome to NextLevelHQ: a startup where meetings happen in rooms called Courage, employees are encouraged to 'fail faster, ' and nobody can quite explain what the company actually does. When twenty-five-year-old founder Xander Pierce collapses during the Monday morning rush, suspicion quickly falls on Josie's kitchen. The coffee came from her counter. The supplement in it came from her department. And the company's systems show someone tampered with the very drawer where Xander kept his precious FocusForward sachets. Fortunately, Josie has two things going for her: an instinct for noticing when people are behaving strangely, and Ross Lark, NextLevel's permanently exhausted IT administrator, whose sarcasm is almost as strong as his coffee. Together they uncover secret service corridors, stolen code, fake security logs, hidden investor deals and an old technology conference nobody at NextLevel seems quite as eager to forget as they claim. The deeper Josie digs, the clearer it becomes that nearly everyone had something to hide. But corporate sabotage is one thing. Turning it into murder is another. Now Josie and Ross must untangle the truth before NextLevel manages to turn a homicide into another presentation about resilience. A funny, twisty cosy mystery packed with workplace satire, slow-burn romance, suspicious pastries and one tech startup that definitely does not have everything under control.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The moon has been cracked for nine months. The crops are failing. Liquid Starlight is running thin. And in the Valley of Gourds, baker and tinkerer Mallow Threadwell is running out of sensible ways to pretend everything will be fine. Then she finds the recipe her late grandmother hid beneath the flour bin. CAKE OF ETERNAL CONTENTMENT.FOR WHEN NOTHING GROWS.>Unfortunately, the recipe comes with a magical needle, an impossible network of forgotten stations, a suspiciously well-mannered giant toad, and evidence that Mallow's grandmother knew far more about the cracked moon than she ever admitted. Soon Mallow is travelling beyond the Valley into salt wastelands, ancient reservoirs, moving forests and drowned wetlands, uncovering a repair system built to regulate the Starlight that keeps the world alive. But the old system has a problem. It was designed to let a handful of people decide what was best for everyone else. And that may be what broke it. With the moon worsening and the world divided between too much Starlight and too little, Mallow must find another way - one that leaves room for disagreement, refusal, change and the uncomfortable possibility that no single person should ever be allowed to decide what 'saved' looks like. Warm, strange and quietly hopeful, Mallow and the Cracked Moon is an adult cosy fantasy about grief, cake, ecological collapse, impossible bureaucracy, enormous toads - and discovering that sometimes the answer isn't happiness. Sometimes it is simply enough.…
