Atemberaubend, labirintico, epico – il quinto romanzo di Cormoran Strike è il più avvincente e affascinante scritto dalla famosa autrice J. K. Rowling. Cormoran Strike è in visita alla sua famiglia in Cornovaglia quando viene avvicinato da una donna che gli chiede di rintracciare sua madre, Margot Bamborough, scomparsa nel 1974 in circostanze misteriose. Strike non ha mai affrontato un cold case, tanto meno uno di quarant'anni fa. Nonostante le scarse possibilità di successo, la sua curiosità viene stuzzicata, e così aggiunge un altro caso alla lunga lista di indagini che lui e la sua collaboratrice Robin Ellacott stanno seguendo. Robin, nel frattempo, deve affrontare una brutta separazione e attenzioni maschili indesiderate, oltre ai suoi sentimenti per Strike. Le indagini su Margot li conducono a un caso intricato, con indizi legati a tarocchi, un serial killer psicopatico e testimoni non sempre affidabili. Scoprono che anche i casi risalenti a decenni fa possono rivelarsi mortali.

Il primo caso per Cormoran Strike in questo romanzo di esordio di Robert Galbraith, pseudonimo di J.K. Rowling, autrice della serie di Harry Potter e de "Il seggio vacante". Londra. È notte fonda quando Lula Landry, leggendaria e capricciosa top model, precipita dal balcone del suo lussuoso attico a Mayfair sul marciapiede innevato. La polizia archivia il caso come suicidio, ma il fratello della modella non può crederci. Decide di affidarsi a un investigatore privato e un caso del destino lo conduce all'ufficio di Cormoran Strike. Veterano della guerra in Afghanistan, dove ha perso una gamba, Strike riesce a malapena a guadagnarsi da vivere come detective. Per lui, scaricato dalla fidanzata e senza più un tetto, questo nuovo caso significa sopravvivenza, qualche debito in meno, la mente occupata. Ci si butta a capofitto, ma indizio dopo indizio, la verità si svela a caro prezzo in tutta la sua terribile portata e lo trascina sempre più a fondo nel mondo scintillante e spietato della vittima, sempre più vicino al pericolo che l'ha schiacciata. Un page turner tra le cui pagine è facile perdersi, tenuti per mano da personaggi che si stagliano con nettezza. Ed è ancora più facile abbandonarsi al fascino ammaliante di Londra, che dal chiasso di Soho, al lusso di Mayfair, ai gremiti pub dell'East End, si rivela protagonista assoluta, ipnotica e ricca di seduzioni.

A chi la visitasse per la prima volta, Pagford apparirebbe come un'idilliaca cittadina inglese. Un gioiello incastonato tra verdi colline, con un'antica abbazia, una piazza lastricata di ciottoli, case eleganti e prati ordinatamente falciati. Ma sotto lo smalto perfetto di questo villaggio di provincia si nascondono ipocrisia, rancori e tradimenti. Tutti a Pagford, dietro le tende ben tirate delle loro case, sembrano aver intrapreso una guerra personale e universale: figli contro genitori, mogli contro mariti, benestanti contro emarginati. La morte di Barry Fairbrother, il consigliere più amato e odiato della città, porta alla luce il vero cuore di Pagford e dei suoi abitanti: la lotta per il suo posto all'interno dell'amministrazione locale è un terremoto che sbriciola le fondamenta, che rimescola divisioni e alleanze. Eppure, dalla crisi totale, dalla distruzione di certezze e valori, ecco emergere una verità spiazzante, ironica, purificatrice: che la vita è imprevedibile e spietata, e affrontarla con coraggio è l'unico modo per non farsi travolgere, oltre che dalle sue tragedie, anche dal ridicolo.

From America's most beloved comedic actress and the star of Desperate Housewives comes a personal, heartfelt, and often very funny manifesto on life, love, and the lessons we all need to learn -- and unlearn -- on the road to happinessTeri Hatcher secured her place in America's heart when she stood up to accept her Golden Globe for Best Actress and declared herself a "has-been" on national television. That moment showcased her down-to-earth, self-deprecating style -- and her frank openness about the ups and downs she's experienced in life and work. But what the world might not have seen that night is that Teri's self-acceptance is the hard-won effort of a single mother with all the same struggles most women have to juggle -- life, love, bake sale cookies, and dying cats. Now, in the hope that her foibles and insights might inspire and motivate other women, Teri opens up about the little moments that have sustained her through good times and bad. From the everyday (like the importance of letting your daughter spill her macaroni so she knows it's okay to make mistakes) to the rare (a rendezvous with a humpback whale -- and no, he was not a suitor), the message at the heart of Burnt Toast -- that happiness and success are choices that we owe it to ourselves to make -- is sure to resonate with women everywhere.
Dit is het hilarische verhaal dat de 11-jarige Henni schreef over wat zij en haar vrienden meemaakten toen de Neppers bij hen in de Steenstraat kwamen wonen en alles verpestten. Het is vrolijk, spannend, humoristisch en nooit voorspelbaar!

Lauren Weisberger, known for her bestselling debut, returns with a cautionary tale about the PR industry, echoing themes from her previous work. The story follows Bette Robinson, a twentysomething Emory graduate who rejects her parents' hippie ideals for a high-paying but dull job at a prestigious investment bank. After a condescending encounter with her boss, she impulsively quits and spends weeks indulging in a leisurely lifestyle with her dog, Millington. Eventually, her uncle helps her land a job at a trendy public relations firm, where her duties revolve around late-night parties and feeding gossip columns. As Bette navigates the social scene, she climbs the ladder at the expense of her friends, family, and a promising romantic interest. Weisberger cleverly transforms outrageous situations into entertaining anecdotes, such as a woman who almost took her life until she learned she was just 18 months away from acquiring a coveted Birkin bag. This blend of wit and a touch of voyeurism makes the narrative a guilty pleasure that readers will find hard to resist.
