Juby S: Contemplation of a Crime / LF

Contemplation of a Crime

From&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author Christopher Moore comes a hilariously deranged tale of a mad scientist, a famous painter, and an undead woman's electrifying journey of self-discovery. Vienna, 1911. Gustav Klimt, the most famous painter in the Austrian Empire, the darling of Viennese society, spots a woman's nude body in the Danube canal. He knows he should summon a policeman, but he can't resist stopping to make a sketch first. And as he draws, the woman coughs. She's alive!Back at his studio, Klimt and his model-turned-muse Wally tend to the formerly-drowned girl. She's nearly feral and doesn't remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory. With a little help from Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Judith recalls being stranded in the arctic one hundred years ago, locked in a crate by a man named Victor Frankenstein, and visiting the Underworld. So how did she get here? And why are so many people chasing her, including Geoff, the giant croissant-eating devil dog of the North?Poor Things meets Bride of Frankenstein in Anima Rising, Christopher Moore's most ingenious (and probably most hilarious) novel yet.

A Novel

Anima Rising

"At age nineteen, young Eton graduate Eric Blair set sail for India, dreading the assignment ahead. Along with several other young conscripts, he would be trained for three years as a servant of the British Empire, overseeing the local policemen in Burma. Navigating the social, racial, and class politics of his fellow British at the same time as he learned the local languages and struggled to control his men would prove difficult enough. But doing all of this while grappling with his own self-worth, his sense that he was not cut out for this, is soon overwhelming for the young Blair. Eventually, his clashes with his superiors, and the drama that unfolds in this hot, beautiful land, will change him forever."--

Nothing Serious

From USA Today bestselling and Edgar and Shamus Award?winning author Alison Gaylin comes a slick, riveting, and all too frighteningly plausible tale of psychological suspense in which a single mother, haunted by her past, finds herself the target of a vast network of conspiracy theorists?who hold her responsible for an unspeakable crime, and will stop at nothing to bring her down...and, even worse, to take her beloved daughter down with her. At long last, life seems to be working out for Meg Russo. A self-destructive, blackout-prone Hollywood actress in her youth, she's now the sober, single mom of a fourteen-year-old daughter, living in the small Hudson Valley town of Havenkill, where she grew up. Despite a difficult divorce, she's managed to make peace with her ex and his fiancee, loves her job teaching drama at a community college, and is proud of her daughter Lily, who, unlike Meg at that age, seems to have her head on straight. With a new man in her life?the first in years?it looks as though things are about to get even better.Until Meg gets a text.It's just one sentence long and looks like spam. But it's something much more sinister?the opening salvo from a dangerous stalker, who worships Meg's beloved former co-star Danny Malina... and believes her to be responsible for his tragic, decades-old death. After a terrifying confrontation, a deeply shaken Meg is forced to question two things: what she is?and was??capable of, and if her stalker isn't the only one after her. As she receives more threats, she fears she may be dealing with multiple conspiracy theorists?all of whom are determined to chase her down, destroy her life... and make her pay for the shockingly evil acts they believe she committed.With her life and family in jeopardy, Meg must battle these unseen tormentors, as well as her own murky past. Is she being gaslit by deranged fanatics?or was she a worse person during those long-ago blackouts than she could have ever imagined?

We Are Watching

"Kasey Nottingham needs a splashy idea at her company where they find and develop the next big thing for investors--her job depends on it. Impulsively, she pitches Mags' Desserts, a beloved small-town business run by her grandma Mags and live-in "best friend" Celia, two women who overcame deadbeat husbands and financial ruin to build a word-of-mouth clientele. Kasey expects her boss to say no. Instead, he sends her home to North Carolina to land the deal...and now she has a problem. Mags and Celia aren't interested, which isn't a surprise, but something else is going on in their kitchen. Locked cabinets. Cryptic conversations. Unexpected notations on business records. The ladies have secrets and whatever they're hiding is big. As reports of mysterious deaths of abusive men in the area surface--all in households that recently received a delivery from Mags' Desserts--Kasey worries Gram and Celia have gone into the poison pie business. As investors start circling, Kasey enlists Jackson Quaid, Celia's nephew and Kasey's long-time crush, as her reluctant investigation assistant. Jackson is practical. Kasey has a wild imagination. Together, they dodge Kasey's boss and gather intel. And kiss. Lots of kissing, though probably not the best idea to start an unexpected romance. Doing it while keeping two feisty ladies from going to jail for knocking off bad husbands--even if those husbands deserve it--might be impossible...but Kasey never shied away from a challenge."--

"Ahead of looming layoffs within the ongoing decimation of media, Jacob Goldberg, a culture writer in New York, knows what will save him: a podcast. Not just any podcast, but something that will demonstrate his singular thoughtfulness in an oversaturated, competitive market. When Jacob learns the true, tragic circumstances behind the mysterious death of Seth, one of his best friends from high school, his world is turned completely upside down. But when the dust settles, he realizes has an idea worth digging into. Of course, it's not so simple. Learning the truth-or at least, the beginning of it-sends Jacob spiraling. His increasing obsession ultimately leads him back home to Chicago, where he tracks down Lee, a once up-and-coming musician who probably knew Seth best at the end of his life. As his investigation deepens, Jacob's drive to find out the truth-and whether there's a deeper story to be told about the fault lines of our memories, life and death on the internet, and the people we never forget-grows into a desperation to discover whether it even matters. If not, can he make it? A poignant and funny novel about grief, loneliness, memory, and the unique existential questions inherent to the digital age, See Friendship introduces a new voice in fiction-a writer known for his pitch-perfect cultural criticism, with a depth of literary talent"--

Spring Fling

"The daughter of a Taiwanese father and white mother, Vi Liu has never quite fit into her Midwestern college town. Aimless after getting dumped by her boyfriend and dropping out of college, Vi works at the front desk of a hotel where she greets guests, refills cucumber water samovars, and tries to evade her bubbly blond coworker, Rachel. Little does Vi know her life is about to be permanently transformed when she agrees to a night out with Rachel. In the alley outside the bar, Vi discovers a strange blob--a small living creature with beady black eyes. In a moment of concern and drunken desperation, she takes it home. But the blob is no ordinary pet. Becoming increasingly sentient, it begins to grow, shift shape, and obey Vi's commands. As the entity continues to change, Vi is struck with a daring idea: she'll mold the creature into her ideal partner. Feeding it a stream of sweet breakfast cereals and American pop culture, the creature grows into a movie-star handsome white man. But when Vi's desire to be loved unconditionally threatens to spiral out of control, she is forced to confront her lonely childhood, her aloof ex-boyfriend, and the racial marginalization that has defined her relationships--a journey of self-discovery that teaches her it's impossible to control those you love."--Provided by publisher.
