A social dilemma. A family emergency. A secret recipe. A murder...

Coles R: Murder Under the Mistletoe

Murder Under the Mistletoe

A Canon Clement Christmas Novella

LONGLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 'Beautiful and unflinching, Cloudless is a phenomenal debut' ANNA HOPE, author of Albion 'Attends to the bonds we have to family, landscape, global politics with uncommon attention, extraordinary depth and lightness of touch' ELIZABETH O'CONNOR, author of Whale Fall It is autumn 2004 and in a farmhouse on the hills outside Llandudno, Catrin and John endure the agonizing wait for their older son to return from Iraq. His decision to join up has left them reeling, yet there are other battles at home: the working of the land that has been theirs for generations and what to do with their troubled younger son. Catrin's childhood sweetheart comes back to their small town, forcing the boys' doting mother to confront the life she might have had. And John, desperate to keep farm and family together, turns to ever riskier methods to stay afloat. As each member of the family grasps at their own tenuous lifeline, they drift further from one another - until, on a cold winter evening, there is a fateful knock at the door. Written in luminous, exquisitely calibrated prose, Cloudless is a masterful portrayal of the fragility and resilience of human connection. 'Dastur writes with devastating compassion on what it means to be human' CATHERINE AIREY, author of Confessions 'Elegant and quietly devastating' MELISSA FU, author of Peach, Blossom, Spring 'A story about love and war, family and nation . . . Told with intelligence, sensitivity and a huge heart' PAUL McVEIGH, author of The Good Son

Cloudless

Zwölf Janitoren gibt es, nicht mehr und nicht weniger, und sie bilden die geheime Elite-Schutztruppe des Vatikan. Als die Nummer Drei ausfällt, muss ein anderer nachrücken. So wird aus dem jungen Pater Vince, der sich bereits als Leibwächter bei Sondereinsätzen hervorragend bewährte, der Janitor Trias. Doch Vince, der weltlichen Genüssen keineswegs abgeneigt ist, quält sich mit Zweifeln über seine klerikale Berufung...

(Band 1 - 5)

Der Janitor - Komplett Bundle

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.

A True Crime Lover's Travel Guide to the Mid-Atlantic States

This book provides an overview of male violence against women and the failure of the legal system. Male violence against women is pervasive. From the bedroom to the boardroom; from the home to the hospital; from the court to the care home, women are subject to male violence. The legal response to this is weak. The violence is either invisible or downplayed. This book explains why and how the law can do better. It explores how violence in different settings reinforces and magnifies the abuse in others. Too often violence against women is considered in silos (sexual assault; domestic abuse; street harassment, etc.). The book argues that they must be seen on a continuum. It brings out the common themes, but also the subtle differences in context between the scenes of violence. In doing so it argues that we cannot understand an incident of male violence against women without understanding the broader context within which that takes place. The book claims that the legal response to male violence against women downplays the severity of the harm or even fails to recognise it. This is a must-read for those interested in criminal law, gender politics, and feminist approaches to law. It is only when the true nature of the problem is grasped that the law can start to provide an effective response to it. This book shows how a better and more effective law can be found.

Male Violence Against Women

Phryne Fisher

The indefatigable Miss Phryne Fisher returns to solve what may be her most puzzling murder. When Phryne Fisher is invited to Bendigo to witness the investiture of her old friend Lionel, who is being made a Bishop, her expectations of the solemn and dignified ceremony do not include a murder. Phryne is soon working with perspicacious local Constable Watson and eagle-eyed Inspector Mick Kelly to identify the perpetrator. It becomes quickly apparent the murder victim had been an overzealous deacon with a nose for trouble. Nobody seems very inclined to mourn his passing. Applying her quick wits and magnetic charm, Phryne and her expanding team of sleuths discover murky layers of church politics, social scandals and business scams and blackmail. Soon, various suspects begin to form a long list, all with excellent motives for killing the deacon. Could the murderer be his own wife? A visiting dignitary? The mysterious organist? The angelic Brookes? The unemployed teacher? And why is the Bishop's Court being burgled? Meanwhile the clock is ticking ... Will Phryne be able to bring to light the proof she needs before the killer strikes again or disappears completely?
