Melissa couldn’t be happier that summer has arrived. She’s delighted to have her mother back by her side, and she is extending her beloved Hawthorn Cottage so her new family can live together. Meanwhile, Melissa’s mother, Sylvia, is back in good health and enjoying a brief stay at a stately retirement home. She loves getting to know the residents, until first a dog and then his owner are both found dead in the dining room. Like mother, like daughter, Sylvia decides to do a little investigating of her own.

Joan Kuhl helps women create a clear vision of what their career path deserves to be and make a convincing business case for equality to their managers and senior leadership. You'll learn strategies for overcoming sexist cultural attitudes about gender and leadership as well as for dealing with self-limiting behaviors like imposter's syndrome (the feeling that you're never good enough despite a track record of success) and the myth of meritocracy (the idea that just doing good work is the only way to advance).

Melissa has just finished writing her latest mystery novel and is enjoying the arrival of spring. She’s decided to let her fictional detective retire at last and perhaps put her own days of investigating behind her, too. But the ink has barely dried on the page when Melissa receives shocking news: Her estranged father has been found dead in the family home and her mother, Sylvia, is under suspicion of murder.

Melissa Craig has settled into a new job in the charming Cotswolds village of Upper Benbury. She is teaching French to several of the local teenagers, which gives her a fascinating insight into the young people’s lives. Material for a new novel, perhaps.... Her quiet life is interrupted when she sees her new neighbour running out of the woods in a blind panic. Melissa rushes to help him, but what she finds leaves her breathless: The body of young woman is lying on the bank of the river.

A body is found near a picture-perfect Cotswolds village...but the upstanding local residents couldn’t possibly be involved, could they? Murder is the very last thing on Melissa Craig’s mind when one of her neighbors pops in to complain loudly about a minor local robbery. She’s far too busy thinking about her next book.... But when the evening paper lands, there is a shocking headline. A young woman’s body has been found in the nearby woods, and it seems the local robbery may offer a crucial clue.

Vampires Valad and Michael control the town, and every 10 years, they pick a fertile woman from the village to be wedded to them as part of a tradition that dates back to over a century. No one knows what happens to the women once they are chosen and, quite frankly, no one wants to know. The simple fact is they are never seen again. When curvy Siona discovers that her newly engaged best friend is the next girl to have been selected, she does what no woman has ever done before. Siona volunteers herself to be chosen and to take her friends place.

Melissa Craig is struggling with her new novel, so when the invitation arrives to visit a nearby country house for some writing time, she decides a bit of peace and quiet is just what she needs. The house is everything she could have hoped for, even if the staff do seem rather unsettled. She has barely unpacked when the owner of the house persuades Melissa to investigate some threatening notes he has received. But before she can do any digging, he is found murdered in his own orchard.

Since her move to the country, Melissa Craig has become firmly established in village life. So, when one of the older residents fails to show up for a drinks party, Melissa goes to check on her. What she finds chills her to the bone: Her dear neighbor has been murdered, and the killer has painted a hideous smile onto her face. Melissa soon realizes that the death in her village bears the same trademark as a series of recent murders in the Cotswolds.

El Jonás passa un cap de setmana a casa del seu pare, vidu i jubilat. No és una trobada com tantes altres: hi ha alguna cosa que la fa especial. Potser és el fet que el pare mateix ha demanat a en Jonás que hi vagi, potser és la presència d’un veí inquietant, potser la minyona que no diu el que sap, potser dels alemanys que escenifiquen la caiguda del mur de Berlín al jardí del costat.

El poble gris (1902) és un recull de trenta narracions en les quals la mirada irònica, relativista i escèptica que les recorre de cap a cap, actua de filtre homogeneitzador. Són mostres representatives de la literatura de viatges amb què l’artista es va iniciar en el terreny de la literatura i que mai no va deixar de conrear. És una visió de la realitat més punyent com més efectiu és el joc literari que proposa l’obra, amb la construcció d’una veu narrativa distanciada, subtilment irònica, que constitueix un gran encert.
