Amanda hade en plan: hoppa av läkarlinjen för att bli berömd konstnär, gifta sig med sin pojkvän och leva lyckligt i alla sina dagar. Men när målandet inte riktigt tar fart, och hon samtidigt blir dumpad, inser hon att verkligheten inte alltid samarbetar med ens drömmar. Fast i ett tröstlöst telefonförsäljarjobb och med ett brustet hjärta känns livet allt annat än magiskt.
En helt vanlig, miserabel dag tar en oväntad vändning när Amanda kliver in i en smyckesbutik och provar en förlovningsring för att drömma sig bort. Ögonblicket förvandlas snart till en mardröm när hon plötsligt konfronteras med sitt ex, hand i hand med sin nya flickvän.
För att rädda sin heder ljuger hon om sin stundande förlovning och innan hon vet ordet av har ryktet spridit sig. Nu förväntar sig både familj och vänner att få träffa hennes mystiska fästman. Lösningen blir Pagalos - en charmig främling som ovetandes dras in i Amandas allt mer snåriga kärlekssaga. Men ju mer hon ljuger, desto svårare blir det att avgöra vad som är spel och vad som faktiskt är verkligt.
Miss Lyckad är en sprudlande romantisk komedi om att hitta sig själv, lära sig överkomma sina misstag och hur kärleken ofta hittar oss när vi minst anar det.

Att en pappa och en son tillsammans författar en bok om föräldraskap är på sätt och vis ett kamikazeuppdrag. Nu har det dock hänt: Med humor och osminkat allvar ger sig två generationer Einhorn i kast med uppgiften att beskriva föräldraskapets och “barnskapets” möjligheter och omöjligheter. Det är en bok om misslyckanden och besvikelser, om önskan att komma närmare, om glädjeämnen och insikter, men även om det som tidigare varit dolt.
”Om man ger sig på att skriva en bok med sin son om föräldraskap, speciellt när man har mest kunskap om hur man inte bör bära sig åt, får man ta det onda med det goda. En sak är emellertid säker och det är att denna resa har varit oerhört lärorik.” Stefan Einhorn
”För mig var det viktigaste med boken att komma närmare min pappa och förstå honom bättre. Hur lyckades det? Inget vidare, på ett plan. På ett annat plan blev det dock succé. Man kan förstå människor på olika sätt, och i vissa viktiga avseenden har jag verkligen lyckats tränga in i min pappas värld.” Michael Einhorn
Sagt om boken:
”Boken är personligt hållen med humor likväl som allvar, den är välskriven med ett lättillgängligt språk och den väcker lätt tankar, reflektioner och insikter att fundera vidare kring.”Carola Forslund, BTJ-häftet nr 16, 2024

A brand new omnibus of 55 short stories, presented for the first time in chronological order.Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as ‘ the typical old maid of fiction’, Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy hamlet of St Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained an unparalleled insight into human nature – and used it to devasting effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard has been heard to say: ‘She’s just the finest detective God ever made.’ – and many Agatha Christie fans would agree.Appearing for the first time in The Murder at The Vicarage (1930) her crime-fighting career spanned over forty years when she solved her final case in 1977 in Sleeping Murder. With every tale flawlessly plotted by the Queen of Crime herself, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through her many film and television appearances.Here, for the first time, more than 50 of Agatha Christie’s mini masterpieces have been collected together in one volume, perfectly illustrating the true breadth of her talent. As well as every story featuring Miss Marple, the book includes additional stand-alone tales, from macabre tales of the supernatural, through suspense-ridden mysteries, to heart-stopping cases of murder.

With the power to speak to the dead and glimpse their final memories, she’s called in by her uncle at Scotland Yard to help solve the murder of Viscount Beachley. His ghost lingers, his wife is missing, and the trail leads straight into the glittering world of the ton… where Clio has no place.Enter Lieutenant General Thomas Grey: brooding, scandal-shadowed, and bound by honour to assist the investigation. He never expects to be paired with a sharp-tongued witch who walks with ravens and burns like fire beneath her skin. As they’re forced into close quarters and dangerous secrets begin to surface, so does a desire neither of them can resist.But Clio knows a witch’s heart is a dangerous thing to give away—especially to a man who swore never to love again. And Thomas knows desire alone won’t protect her from the dead who would use her, or the living who would destroy her.Solving the murder may save them both—but surrendering to passion could consume them completely.Perfect for fans of Lucy Jane Wood, India Holton and Erin Sterling ✨Readers LOVE Darcy McGuire!'I couldn’t get enough of the deliciously steamy way this story developed' Emma Orchard'A wonderfully entertaining romp!'

WINNER OF THE WILBUR SMITH ADVENTURE WRITING PRIZE | BEST PUBLISHED NOVELWOMAN & HOME BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR and A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'The perfect escape novel for our troubled times.' PATRICK GALE'If you’re wishing you could be in a faraway land right now, but would accept the alternative route to New Caledonia via a deliciously improbable plot, wonderful characters, sparkling sentences, and too many belly laughs to count: have I got a novel for you.' BARBARA KINGSOLVER It is 1950. In a devastating moment of clarity, Margery Benson abandons her dead-end job and advertises for an assistant to accompany her on an expedition. She is going to travel to the other side of the world to search for a beetle that may or may not exist.Enid Pretty, in her unlikely pink travel suit, is not the companion Margery had in mind. And yet together they will be drawn into an adventure that will exceed every expectation. They will risk everything, break all the rules, and at the top of a red mountain, discover their best selves.This is a story that is less about what can be found than the belief it might be found; it is an intoxicating adventure story but it is also about what it means to be a woman and a tender exploration of a friendship that defies all boundaries.'A girl's own adventure...This is Rachel Joyce's best book yet ...Exciting, moving and full of unexpected turns.' THE TIMES'Brilliant and elegant and wise...powerful and moving...I can't recommend it enough.'

Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places...This is not one of those times. Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband...someday. Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should...Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor...Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without...
