The Mash House
Cullrothes, in the Scottish Highlands, where Innes hides a terrible secret from his girlfriend Alice, a gorgeous, cheating, lying schoolteacher. In the same village, Donald is the aggressive distillery owner, who floods the country with narcotics alongside his single malt; when his son goes missing, he becomes haunted by an anonymous American investor intent on purchasing the Cullrothes Distillery by any means necessary. Schoolgirl Jessie is trying to get the grades to escape to the mainland, while Grandpa counts the days left in his life. This is a place where mountains are immense and the loch freezes in winter. A place with only one road in and out. With long storms and furious midges and a terrible phone signal. The police are compromised the journalists are scum, and the innocent folk of Cullrothes tangle themselves in a fermenting barrel of suspicion, malice and lies...

Alan's Big, Scary Teeth
“Jarvis strikes a brisk, matter-of-fact tone that’s spot-on. . . . His pictures are . . . gorgeous—and thanks to his accomplished cartooning, they’re funny, too.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Deep in the jungle lurks Alan the alligator, descended from a long line of very scary alligators. He prepares carefully—polishing his scales, brushing each of his big, scary teeth, and practicing his frightening faces—then sneaks into the jungle to terrorize the other critters. But after a long day of scaring, Alan loves to enjoy the crossword, run a warm mud bath . . . and take out his teeth, which nobody else knows are false. Until one morning, that is, when Alan wakes up and finds that his teeth are gone! Without those teeth, he’s just not very scary. And scaring is the only thing he knows how to do—or is it? Witty, charming, and playful storytelling in this 2017 Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book will have preschoolers cheering for Alan as he discovers a new way to fit in.
Forgotten
Just another day? Not by a long shot. Alan Nesbitt, a 26 year-old computer programmer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, wakes one morning to find his mind racing through a startling realization: The life he has is not the life he wants. Alan finds that the "perfect" life he created with his "perfect" wife, June, is not perfect at all. In fact, it has been the ultimate source of his unhappiness. The confusion begins and Alan is thrown into a world of self-doubt and endless possibilities. So, upon meeting and becoming friends with a feisty, beautiful and independent woman named Sally Robinson, Alan embarks on a wonderful journey of life, love and self-realization that carries him to New York City, to reunite with a brother and a life he's forgotten. Set against the backdrop of western Pennsylvania, Forgotten is the story of us all. Of our confusion and our desire to create a better life than the one we've known.

Fatale
Fatale is about Sharon Greaves, a chemist working in her husband's cider distillery, who creates an alcopop. Because the essential ingredient in the formula is wormwood, as used in absinthe - the French drink associated with the 1890's - she names her creation Fatale. Within a short time it becomes a success. Concerned with the addictive properties of wormwood, Sharon continues to monitor it's effects on laboratory rats. She discovers a flaw that she believes has been the cause of three fatal accidents. The parent company refuses to withdraw Fatale so she contacts the family of one of the victims and they decide to sue. Sharon agrees to be the major witness. Alan Swift, a Special Boats Service (SBS) veteran, mercenary and now hitman, employed to kill Sharon, makes the fatal mistake of falling in love with her. As does Gayle Meredith, an expert in placing people in special protection programmes. Sharon Greaves becomes the embodiment of the femme fatale, bringing grief to all who would love her.
Keeping On Keeping On
One of NPR’s Best Books of the Year: “Humorous, surprising, disarmingly human” essays and comic pieces from one of England’s national treasures (The Washington Post Book World). A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Best Book of the Year A Lambda Literary Award finalist Bringing together the hilarious, revealing, and lucidly intelligent writing of one of England’s best-known literary figures, Keeping On Keeping On contains Tony Award–winning playwright, Oscar-nominated screenwriter, and actor Alan Bennett’s diaries from 2005 to 2015—with everything from his much celebrated essays to his irreverent comic pieces and reviews—reflecting on a decade that saw four major theater premieres and the films of The History Boys and The Lady in the Van. This entertaining chronicle of a life in letters comes from a “singular voice [with] a highly tuned ironic wit—his special brand of gentleness laced with arsenic” (The New York Times Book Review). “Part of the pleasure of his diaries is the sense that [Bennett] tells them things he would never say out loud.” —The New York Review of Books “Consistently funny and touching.” —The Telegraph
