He’s settled down with a new partner, Jayne, and life is good.But Andy’s peaceful world is about to shatter. One day, a woman shows up at his old address, screaming, “Where’s my house? What’s happened to my house?” And then, just as suddenly as she appeared, the woman—who bears a striking resemblance to Brie—is gone. The police are notified and old questions—and dark suspicions—resurface. Could Brie really be alive after all these years? If so, where has she been? It soon becomes clear that Andy’s future and the lives of those closest to him depend on discovering what the hell is going on.

A manager’s guide to those unavoidable uncomfortable discussions  Delivering bad news is never easy, but there are ways to do it that minimize the pain for everyone involved. How to Deliver Bad News and Get Away with It shows business managers how to navigate these inevitable tough conversations using the best possible approaches.  Drawing from software executive Mahesh Guruswamy’s personal experience, this practical guide walks you through delivering bad news to employees, stakeholders, customers, and even bosses. With humor and grace, it covers, among many other topics:  • How to talk to an employee about an improvement plan • How to tell a client a project is delayed • How to give your boss less-than-glowing feedback • How to admit that you have to break a promise  Although there are many books on the inspirational side of leadership and how to lead effectively in general, few tackle the less-fun but critical topic of having the unpopular but necessary conversations all managers must have, making this book essential for any leader’s library.

WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE CHRISTOPHER BLAND PRIZEA BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK Truly heart-warming ... It s become my comfort book JACQUELINE WILSON Told from inside one of the UK s most overlooked professions, this home careworker s memoir is warm, raw, and unflinchingly honest. The sad moments are balanced with the funny, heartwarming ones i paperA luminous, uplifting and deeply moving memoir by a care worker, told through her funny, heartbreaking, sometimes frustrating, and always eye-opening encounters with the often overlooked and marginalised people she cares for. Kate never expected to become a home care worker. But when she left her senior role in the NHS, burnt-out and disheartened, she thought caring for people in their own homes would be a simpler job. Despite being determined not to become too involved with her customers , she soon found herself developing firm friendships, forging deep connections and bearing witness to the extraordinary drama to be found in ordinary lives. With energy, compassion and clarity, her memoir gives an astonishing insight into this unsung - and often maligned - profession, and into the hidden lives of the housebound and infirm. From Beryl who screams like a banshee whenever Kate tries to wash her, but collapses in giggles when her toes are tickled, to bawdy Mr Radbert who promised to give me his car when he can remember where he left it . Every Kind of People is clear-eyed about the challenges facing the NHS and the care system. But it is above all a celebration of humanity and of the life-changing impact of caring, on those who offer it and those who receive it. Being as close as this to someone is a uniquely precious place to be. It is a place where secrets are revealed and fears are shared and outrageous jokes are made that could not be told to anyone else. It is a coal face of human experience --- The work of a natural storyteller ... All kinds of brilliant JON McGREGORâ ˜I am in love with Kate s storytelling, her ability to see the person and her fabulous, dry humour.

The perfect murder mystery for fans of Richard Osman and Robert Thorogood. Spotswood understands that [...] spending time with unforgettable characters is paramount. - New York Times A loving, intricately plotted tribute to the great days of American noir. - Daily MailNew York, 1946: The last time Will Parker let a case get personal, she walked away with a broken face, a bruised ego, and the solemn promise never again to let her heart get in the way of her job. But she called Hart and Halloway s Travelling Circus and Sideshow home for five years, and Ruby Donner, the circus s tattooed ingenue, was her friend. To make matters worse the prime suspect is Valentin Kalishenko, the man who taught Will everything she knows about putting a knife where it needs to go. To uncover the real killer and keep Kalishenko from a date with the electric chair, Will and Ms. Pentecost join the circus in sleepy Stoppard, Virginia, where the locals like their cocktails mild, the past buried, and big-city detectives not at all. The two swiftly find themselves lost in a funhouse of lies as Will begins to realize that her former circus compatriots aren t playing it straight, and that her murdered friend might have been hiding a lot of secrets beneath all that ink.

But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage—and hoping that boredom won’t kill her before the cancer does. Then Jack—tiny in stature but fiercely independent—happens upon a dead body while kayaking. She quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana should focus on recovery, but Lana has a better idea. She’ll pull on her wig, find the true murderer, protect her family, and prove she still has power.With Jack and Beth’s help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always resisted: depend on each other.

The underlying premise of the Getting to Grips with English Grammar scheme is that pupils need to see how authors use grammar and have opportunities to use it in their own writing for them to truly understand it. Throughout the series, entertaining reading passages introduce pupils to key grammar points and provide talking points for how the grammar is used. Engaging activities, all linked to the themes of the reading passages, provide reinforcement and enable children to practise using the grammar in their own writing.Mini quizzes at the end of each theme assess how much they have remembered. Answers at the back of the book make checking children s work easy. Getting to Grips with English Grammar, Year 5 is a flexible resource for teaching grammar in Key Stage 2. It introduces pupils to grammar and punctuation through fun, engaging themes, such as The Sky Walkway and Puffin Rest Cove. The six books in the series provides complete coverage of the grammar and punctuation Programmes of Study for the National Curriculum for England. Grammar and punctuation rules are systematically introduced, revisited and consolidated, ensuring that pupils become confident at using grammar.

The underlying premise of the Getting to Grips with English Grammar scheme is that pupils need to see how authors use grammar and have opportunities to use it in their own writing for them to truly understand it. Throughout the series, entertaining reading passages introduce pupils to key grammar points and provide talking points for how the grammar is used. Engaging activities, all linked to the themes of the reading passages, provide reinforcement and enable children to practise using the grammar in their own writing.Mini quizzes at the end of each theme assess how much they have remembered. Answers at the back of the book make checking children s work easy.Getting to Grips with English Grammar, Year 3 is a flexible resource for teaching grammar in Key Stage 1. It introduces pupils to grammar and punctuation through fun, engaging themes, such as Giant Gryn s Garden and Bobot the Robot. The six books in the series provides complete coverage of the grammar and punctuation Programmes of Study for the National Curriculum for England. Grammar and punctuation rules are systematically introduced, revisited and consolidated, ensuring that pupils become confident at using grammar.
