Hijinks and Homicide (A Myrtle Lake Cozy Mystery Book 2) Fresh off their first murder case, grandmother/granddaughter sleuthing team Carla and Charlie Purcell couldn’t feel more ready to resume running Myrtle Lake’s best (and only) coffee shop. But before they finish baking the first batch of bagels, another corpse comes calling.

This time, a local quilter with a booming online business kicks off in her home over morning tea and it’s clear she’s been poisoned. Or more specifically, stuffed full of tree nuts to which she was intensely allergic.

Turns out the victim had outraged fellow villagers by stealing entrepreneurial ideas, accusing people of petty theft, and ditching family responsibilities. The Purcell women and their guide, retired homicide detective Saylor Reeves, gather so many murderous suspects they can’t keep them straight.

But why does their prime suspect seem so unlikely? All of the investigators’ instincts scream they’re getting it wrong but they don’t know how.

To top matters off, the community’s concern about ghost lights in the woods blooms into outright panic. If somebody can’t solve that mystery soon, a posse of paranoid pensioners with pitchforks is going to descend on whatever flits around the forest at night and make everything worse.

Things are about to boil over in beautiful Myrtle Lake.

How Money Became Dangerous: The Inside Story of Our Turbulent Relationship with Modern Finance From a veteran of the trade, a provocative and entertaining voyage into the turbulent heart of modern money that sheds new light on the rise of our threatening and complicated financial system, how money became our adversary, and why finding a new course is crucial to a healthy society

In the not too distant past, money was simple. You might have had a bank account and a mortgage, perhaps some basic investments. Wall Street didn’t have a reputation for greed and recklessness. That all started to change in the eighties, as our financial systems became increasingly complex, moving beyond the understanding of the general public while impacting our lives in innumerable ways. The financial world began to feel like an enigma—a rogue force working against us, seemingly controlled by no one.

From an industry veteran who’s had firsthand involvement in the events that shaped modern money, How Money Became Dangerous journeys from the crime-ridden LA jewelry district to the cutthroat Salomon Brothers trading floor, from the high-stakes world of investment banking to the center of the technology boom, capturing the key deals, developments, and players that made the financial world what it is today.

The book illuminates the dark, hidden forces of Wall Street and how it has dehumanized and left behind everyday Americans. A fresh and enlightening take on how we reached this point, How Money Became Dangerous also makes the case for why Wall Street needs to be saved, if only to save ourselves.

Summer Light, and Then Comes the Night Summer Light, and Then Comes the Night is a profound and playful masterwork from one of Iceland’s most beloved authors that explores the dreams and desires of ordinary people in a rural town.

In a village of only four hundred inhabitants, life could seem unremarkable. Yet in this remote town, a new road to the city has change on everyone’s minds.

There is the beautiful, elusive Elisabet who cuts a surprisingly svelte path at The Knitting Company. Neighbors Kristin and Kjartan who seem…normal, but for their explosive passion that bewilders even themselves (and ignites the spectacular revenge of Kjartan’s wife). And then the most successful businessman in town decides to ditch his Range Rover and glamorous wife in exchange for Latin books and stargazing.

Unexpected, warm, and humorous, Stefansson explores the dreams and desires of these everyday people, and reveals the magic of life in all of its progress, its complacency, its ugliness and, ultimately, beauty.
