WINNER OF THE CRIMEFEST LAST LAUGH AWARD 2019 The charming first novel in a new comic crime series, from one of Britain's most-loved writers, the incomparable Lynne Truss 'More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head - a giddy spell of sheer delight' Daily Mail Brighton, 1957. Inspector Steine rather enjoys his life as a policeman by the sea. No criminals, no crime, no stress. So it's really rather annoying when an ambitious - not to mention irritating - new constable shows up to work and starts investigating a series of burglaries. And it's even more annoying when, after Constable Twitten is despatched to the theatre for the night, he sits next to a vicious theatre critic who is promptly shot dead part way through the opening night of a new play. It seems Brighton may be in need of a police force after all...

eBook: With a subtitle like "A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp" you would be forgiven for thinking that this book is an antidote to joy, and when on top of that, you discover that Dred is not in fact Dredd - as in Judge Dredd, futuristic cop played by Sylvester Stallone in the 1995 movie of the same name - vigor and optimism might leave your body entirely. But fear not, somebody left the Stowe on after "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and Harriet is back with a vengeance. The Great Dismal Swamp was a swamp in Virginia inhabited by thousands of escaped slaves for about 150 years in 18th and 19th century, one of whom is the titular character, Dred, an outspoken revolutionary. The story, however, is Nina Gordon's – the heiress of a failing plantation, her idealistic, liberal husband and their humane relationship with their slaves. In some circles touted as superior to "Uncle Tom's Cabin", "Dred" is a slow-burning drama full of engaging characters sprinkled with the writer's abolitionist viewpoints. A solid pick if you had preferred Uncle Tom to have been more of a Malcolm X.

Úzkosť, strach, neistota či neustále obavy nás doslova môžu ochromiť a viesť až k nečinnosti – či už v oblasti vzťahov, alebo v práci. Aj keď sa týmto emóciam nemôžeme vyhnúť, lebo sú súčasťou nášho života, Harriet Lerner vo svojej knihe opisuje postup, ako sa s nimi vysporiadať.Na základe skutočných príbehov z vlastnej terapeutickej praxe ukazuje, ako vhodne reagovať na najzákladnejšie ľudské obavy, akými sú strach z odmietnutia, vystúpenia na verejnosti, kritiky či ublíženia si. Vysvetľuje, čo vyvoláva úzkostné stavy ľudí na pracovisku a učí nás, ako si v takom prostredí zachovať vnútorný pokoj a jasné uvažovanie. Snaží sa nám aj ukázať, ako „neustále pozitívne myslenie“ pomáha, ale aj ubližuje. Aj keď vo svojej knihe rieši vážne témy, snaží sa zachovať si nadhľad a zmysel pre humor.

In the country, each woman finds her path: to convalescence and recovery; to sexual and political awakening; and, above all, to personal freedom and creative flourishing. In graceful, fluid prose, Baker vividly recreates these overlooked episodes, revealing how ‘rural hours’ defined the lives of three pioneering writers.In the end, she shows, their example is an invitation to us all: to recognize the radical and creative potential of rural places, and find new enchantment in the rituals of each day. ‘Warm, perceptive, eloquent …
