Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in hotels? Hotels represent nations, hosting visiting monarchs, politicians, and diplomats. Hotels underpin global networks of travel and communication, on which national and international prosperity have increasingly depended since the end of the First World War. Yet hotels are also places where people can be anonymous; where murderers and thieves mix with adulterers and con artists; and where prejudice finds expression in who is refused access, and in the forms of 'service' provided by staff in the lowest-paid roles. The Secret Life of the Hotel: Sex, Crime and Protest in British Guesthouses Since 1918 is the first book to uncover how hotels entrenched inequality, prejudice, and exploitation in Britain's tourist sector, and in wider society and culture, during the 20th century. Eloise Moss delves into hotel murders, swindles, and scandals, including the history of Agatha Christie's disappearance in 1926, the 'Margate Hotel Murder', and the divorce of Wallis Simpson in 1936 so she could marry King Edward VIII. Moss's exploration of the hotel also shines a light on the fight against the colour bar, the formation of the British civil rights movement, and the visit to London of Martin Luther King Jr. The Secret Life of the Hotel uniquely tells the story of Britain's relationship with the world during the 20th century through the prism of its hotels, showing how their infrastructure and 'welcome' had profound consequences for women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ citizens, and people with disabilities.

Murder at Mount Fuji

'CB Everett is a master of fiendishly plotted, intelligent mysteries' MARK EDWARDSA missing author. A lost manuscript. A final chapter that could reveal the truth.Ten years ago, bestselling literary novelist Jonathan Durward vanished without a trace - leaving behind no body, no answers, and no final book.Now that missing manuscript has finally surfaced. But it isn't the masterpiece anyone expected. It's a spy novel: pulpy, outlandish, and packed with clichés, tradecraft and Bond-style twists.Jonathan's former publisher asks his closest friend, fellow author C. B. Everett, to annotate the novel and separate fact from fiction. But as C. B. reads, he begins to spot unsettling echoes of real people, real events - and perhaps the truth about Jonathan's disappearance.Because hidden inside this strange, slippery thriller may be a confession. Or a clue. Or a trap.As C. B. is drawn deeper into the mystery, one question becomes impossible to ignore: did Jonathan vanish - or was he written out of the story?Clever, twisty and irresistibly readable, The Final Chapter is a brilliantly meta mystery about friendship, identity and the stories we tell ourselves - perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Janice Hallett.'A metafictional tour de force' THE GUARDIAN&nbsp;'A clever piece of crime-fiction, crime is concealed within this intriguing novel within a novel' THE TIMES'A fiendishly clever thriller with a brilliant sting in the tail. Highly recommended' CASS GREEN

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died comes “a thorny examination of power, lust, shame and rage” (Los Angeles Times) from “a writer able to capture some of the darkest parts of human nature with unflinching honesty and devastating humor” (NPR) “Unapologetic and undeniable . . . If there was ever any doubt whether the narrative command that Jennette McCurdy displayed in her bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died might translate to fiction, let it henceforth be put to rest.”—Elle Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn’t know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn’t? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s just enough that he sees her when no one else does. Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles—or attempts to overcome them—in her effort to be seen, to be desired, to be loved.

Drei unterhaltsame Tierkrimis von Enid Kilbar in einem Band. Lady Jane und Sir Walter ermitteln.

Eine Leiche ohne Sarg

Im beschaulichen Dorf Marnhull im Süden Englands wird der betagte Mr Wornickle zu Grabe getragen. Doch in der frisch ausgehobenen Grube liegt bereits die notdürftig verscharrte Leiche einer ermordeten Frau. Keine Frage, dass Lady Jane, die neugierige Tigerkatze und ihr treuer Begleiter, der Mischlingshund Sir Walter, sich der Aufklärung dieses ominösen Mordfalles annehmen.


Tod im Arc Inn

Aus dem alten und ehedem baufälligen Herrenhaus, in dem die Tigerkatze Lady Jane und ihr Freund, der Mischlingshund Sir Walter leben, macht ihr Herrchen Onkel Tom kurzerhand ein Tierhotel. Die begeisterten Gäste sind Menschen, die sich selbst keine Haustiere halten können und sich während ihres Aufenthaltes um Findelkatzen und herrenlose Hunde kümmern dürfen. Doch unter den Gästen befindet sich ein Mörder. Natürlich sind Lady Jane und Sir Walter diesem bereits auf der Spur.


Eine Hochzeit und zwei Todesfälle

Das Herrchen von Lady Jane und Sir Walter hat mit knapp 60 Jahren die Frau seines Lebens gefunden und auch geheiratet. Doch die Hochzeit von Onkel Tom wird von einem grausigen Fund in einem Geheimgang des Familiensitzes überschattet. Und es bleibt auch nicht bei der einen Leiche. Die neugierige Tigerkatze und ihr treuer Begleiter, der Mischlingshund, legen sich mächtig ins Zeug, um die Morde aufzuklären.
