A WATERSTONES CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR Warmth and acerbic wit ... deeply enjoyable TELEGRAPH BEST CRIME BOOKS OF THE YEAR Cosy and classy in equal measure JANICE HALLETT, author of THE APPEAL Oozes charm, wit and bloody murder JONATHAN WHITELAW, author of THE BINGO HALL DETECTIVES Beautifully unguessable ... bursting with life ... brilliant! ALEX HAY, author of THE HOUSEKEEPERS Audrey Brooks loves people. She even loves clearing up their messes - which is lucky, as she works as a cleaner. The only thing more satisfying than making a new acquaintance smile is shifting a particularly stubborn stain. Lewis McLennon finds people irritating. Especially people like Audrey. His writing career is in the toilet and he hates his day job. His closest relationship is with his coffee machine and, frankly, he likes it that way. The only thing they have in common is that they both live in the smallest square in London. And that one of their neighbours is currently lying dead on his kitchen floor. The police think the victim's wife did it. Their landlady, Celeste, is having none of that. And so a very unwilling detective duo is born. In theory they have the skills to find the real killer - if they don't kill each other first. But should they be looking closer to home? The perfect mystery for fans of Tom Hindle, Janice Hallett and Kristen Perrin. **Audrey, Lewis and Celeste return in MURDER LIKE CLOCKWORK - available to pre-order now!** <br><br> Autorid: Nicola Whyte <br>

Her brain cells, having run out of blood, were now completely deprived of oxygen. But they did not shut down. Not right away...' For Leila, each minute after her death brings a sensuous memory: the taste of spiced goat stew, sacrificed by her father to celebrate the long-awaited birth of a son; the sight of bubbling vats of lemon and sugar which women use to wax their legs while men attend mosque; the scent of cardamom coffee that she shares with a handsome student in the brothel where she works. Each memory, too, recalls the friends Leila made at each key moment in her life friends who are now desperately trying to find her. . .

What is feminine energy and how much of it do you have? Or perhaps you believe that you don't have any? Addressed to both men and women who seek their own authenticity and their own definition of what being a man or a woman is, The 10 principles of the Feminine is about discovering what feminine energy is -- beyond any dictionary definition -- and why it's important to honour and cultivate it. Feminine energy is not an attribute of the fairer sex; it is a component of all living things, and its true meaning seems to have been lost somewhere and, with it, people's potential of authentic self-expression. So identifying feminine energy in yourself and others, and connecting to it, is essential for leading a balanced and fulfilling life. If you don't feel fulfilled or seen, then perhaps you aren't in tune with your feminine aspect. The 10 principles outlined in here are meant to guide the reader towards a better understanding and appreciation of the feminine, which beyond everything, represents our inner power and capacity to connect to the eternal and the ethereal, as well as to seek and find true love. This book is therefore a practical guide for integrating the spiritual aspect into our earthly existence, reconciling the feminine with the masculine in an approachable and concise way, without pertaining to a certain spiritual or religious ideology. <br><br> Autorid: Roxana Dragusel <br>

Psychologist Tim Harkness has noticed sometimes it seems everyone is shouting, but nobody is listening. Surely we don't need to learn how to talk? And yet, in an age of Brexit and Trump, where social media provides a platform for instantaneous, unfettered opinion, doesn't it feel that we've lost our ability to move discussions forward? 10 Rules for Talking is a timely guide to help you talk to people who don't share your opinion. Harkness focuses on difficult conversations - the complex, emotional and recurring discussions that persistently affect our personal and professional lives. The ten rules will teach you to remember most people are good and worthy of respect (Rule 3), why it is important to keep a conversation safe (Rule 5) and how to truly listen (Rule 9). Learn how to persuade, respond and - most importantly - keep the conversation progressing. Welcome to a new way of talking. <br><br> Autorid: Tim Harkness <br>

This short primer distils Ruchir Sharma's decades of global analytic experience into ten rules for identifying nations that are poised to take off or crash. A wake-up call to economists who failed to foresee every recent crisis, including the cataclysm of 2008, 10 Rules is full of insights on signs of political, economic, and social change. Sharma explains, for example, why autocrats are bad for the economy; robots are a blessing, not a curse; and consumer prices don't tell you all you need to know about inflation. He shows how currency crises begin with the flight of knowledgeable locals, not evil foreigners; how debt crises start in private companies, not government; and why the best news for any country is none at all. Rethinking economics as a practical art, 10 Rules is a must-read for business, political and academic leaders who want to understand the most important forces that shape a nation's future. <br><br> Autorid: Ruchir Sharma <br>
