The A-Z of Us
If you're lost in love, you need The A-Z of Us, a novel that answers those age-old questions: Why can't a man and woman just be friends? Is it really a good idea to have sex with your best friend's sister? How do you tell your husband that you don't love him anymore? Ian thinks he has it all mapped out. He has a dream job as a travel writer and he's dating his dream woman. Everything seems to be on track ... until his best friend Gemma calls and he finds himself in unexplored territory, heading for a place where 'me' might just become 'us'. Gemma thinks she'll never need a map again. Not yet thirty, she's ended up in exactly the right place - just married, with a great career, and a fabulous almost-renovated house. But when she tells her husband she doesn't love him anymore, Gemma is forced to embark on a journey of the heart for which no maps have been written. The A-Z of Us is a heart-warming, funny and wise tale of the brave new world of relationships and what to do when the old maps no longer show us the way.

When he stumbles across the girl next door naked and dead on her Victorian tiles, he starts to unravel the one equation that's eluded him- that of his own life.

Men and Other Mammals
Scott Barron seems to have it all-a beautiful girlfriend, a dazzling career as a published poet, and a great future. In contrast, his younger brother Jes is a married, overweight, unpublished writer with a fondness for penguins. Then why is it that, to Scott, Jes' life always seems so much better? He finds out, but only after his girlfriend decides to split (just as he was about to say the 'L' word-and almost mean it), he makes a fool of himself on the BBC, his mother suddenly dies, and his estranged father shows up-a series of catastrophes that push him to the edge and then some. As Scott's self-centered world begins to unravel, he discovers that the key to a happy existence just might be found in a happy relationship. But before he can move on into a new life and a new love, he has to figure out how to get Norman II, a stolen penguin, back to the zoo. Men and Other Mammals is a hilarious and touching tale about figuring out what and who really matter in life. Keeble shows us that loving someone is a choice you must make every day for the rest of your life-and that loving someone is often a lot harder than not having someone to love.
Independence Day
Newlyweds are difficult to avoid in Niagra Falls. Each year 500,000 freshly hitched sweethearts book a room in one of the 55 motels offering heart-shaped jacuzzis, tiger rugs, and mirrored ceilings. That's 700 couples a day. Not the best place to be then, when your girlfriend rejects your proposal of marriage, and proposes instead that you go your separate ways. His self-esteem heading south, Jim Keeble decides to follow suit, hoping that the United States—and the women of America—can help mend his broken heart. He says viva to Las Vegas and the showgirls of the 21st century tries to catch a crab-catcher's daughter in historic Virginia, and cheers on an ex-cheerleader on a Dude ranch in Arizona.
Classic Mistake
Car detective Jack Colby returns to solve a “dual-engine puzzle . . . Sleekly designed to appeal to both automobile buffs and cozy fans” (Booklist). A call from Jack Colby’s fiery ex-wife Eva always means trouble. This time it’s a doozy. She’s been accused of murdering her husband, a Mexican band leader shot to death on the towpath of the River Medway. But Jack’s race to the rescue comes with a slight detour: his other client, the beguiling Daisy Croft. Someone’s stolen Daisy’s beloved Morris Minor classic and she needs Jack’s car-theft sleuthing skills to get it back. To Jack’s surprise, the two cases begin to merge. It’s appears that Eva and Daisy’s disparate dilemmas have something in common: a murder committed at a local pub more than three decades ago. As a long-festering plan of vengeance endangers the lives of two innocent women, and a second murder occurs, Jack’s investigation heads down a very dangerous road.
