Summary:

Home at Greenoak in Hampshire, Texas, transplant Pru Parke joins a society to establish a medieval herb garden near the twelfth-century Hospital of St. Cross in Winchester. But when a flamboyant supporter of the garden who promised a million-pound donation is found hanged, Pru finds herself drawn into more than the study of medieval gardens.

A dangerous herbal concoction made from an ancient recipe was found near the body. Had the poison been taken willingly or under duress? Was it suicide or murder? Murder, police say. Detective Inspector Christopher Pearse-Pru's husband, partner in crime-solving, and the only one legally allowed to do so-is called in on the case by Detective Superintendent John Upstone, who was Christopher's first 'guv' more than twenty years earlier.

Murder is a fact, but motives involve emotions-deep grudges, resentment, jealousy, revenge. Who are the likely suspects? What will happen to that promised huge donation? Pru and Christopher investigate. Like walking two different paths in the garden, she follows her heart and he follows the evidence, but they end up with the same answer: someone else is in danger.

Title: Still Laughing: A Life in Comedy (From the Creator of Laugh-In)

Author: George Schlatter

Narrator: P.J. Ochlan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:53:12

Language: English

Release date: 11-28-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment

Summary:

In 1967, producer George Schlatter pitched an idea for a quirky new television show: one inspired by the hippie counterculture, which would take the idea of sit-ins, love-ins, and be-ins, and manifest that politicized, sexualized, consciousness-raising energy into pure comedy. Much to the surprise of NBC executives, Laugh-In soon became the #1 show on American TV, and the careers of beloved stars like Lily Tomlin and Goldie Hawn were born.

Still Laughing features never-before-told stories from the creation of one of the most groundbreaking shows in television history. It also recounts the coming-of-age of one of Hollywood's most iconic producers, from his early nightclub days rubbing elbows with mob figures like Mickey Cohen and John Stompanato, to his influential friendships with Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, for whom George was asked to deliver a eulogy at his funeral decades later.

An inside look at Hollywood in the wake of the cultural upheaval of the '60s and '70s, Still Laughing demonstrates the crucial, deeply creative role a working producer plays in bringing a show (and its stars) to life. With spit-fire humor, tireless wit, and keen perception, Still Laughing tells of the rise of some of comedy's greatest talents, and reveals the actual people cloistered inside larger-than-life celebrity.

Title: This Won't Help: Modest Proposals for a More Enjoyable Apocalypse

Author: Eli Grober

Narrator: Eli Grober

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:33:21

Language: English

Release date: 11-28-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Comedy, Essays & Memoirs, Satire & Parody, Social Science

Summary:

Part catharsis, part diagnosis, this divinely wry collection from New Yorker and McSweeney's satirist Eli Grober will strike a chord with those who are dismayed by the chaos of our times. None of it will help-but a few good laughs won't hurt. Probably.

There's a lot going on, all the time. It may feel overwhelming. Don't worry. It will end. This Won't Help is here for you in the meantime-with 100 short, sharp, satirical essays that skewer a world raging with inaction, while maximizing the profits of self-destruction. As if that would help!

Eli Grober's biting, Swiftian prose spares no one-not the megalomaniacal billionaire fleeing Earth for a better life on unlivable Mars, not an extremely online family living completely off-grid, not even a fossil-fuel lobbyist insisting we all stop using straws. (Eli does spare a kind thought for the supremely intelligent listeners with the good sense to buy this book.) Maybe, just maybe, descending through the inferno of our environmental, economic, and political landscape will help us find real solutions to the hypocrisy and dysfunction that surrounds us. But probably not.

Title: How the Talmud Can Change Your Life: Surprisingly Modern Advice from a Very Old Book

Author: Liel Leibovitz

Narrator: Liel Leibovitz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:31:26

Language: English

Release date: 11-28-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Self Development, Health & Wellness, Judaism, Religious Studies, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:

For numerous centuries, the Talmud-an extraordinary work of Jewish ethics, law, and tradition-has compelled readers to grapple with how to live a good life. Full of folk legends, bawdy tales, and rabbinical repartee, it is inspiring, demanding, confounding, and thousands of pages long. As Liel Leibovitz enthusiastically explores the Talmud, what has sometimes been misunderstood as a dusty and arcane volume becomes humanity's first self-help book. How the Talmud Can Change Your Life contains sage advice on an unparalleled scope of topics.

Leibovitz guides listeners through the sprawling text with all its humor, rich insights, compulsively readable stories, and multilayered conversations. Contemporary discussions framed by Talmudic philosophy and psychology draw on subjects ranging from Weight Watchers and the Dewey decimal system to the lives of Billie Holiday and C. S. Lewis. Chapters focus on fundamental human experiences to illuminate how the Talmud speaks to our daily existence. As Leibovitz explores some of life's greatest questions, he also delivers a concise history of the Talmud itself, explaining the process of its lengthy compilation and organization.

With infectious passion and candor, Leibovitz brilliantly displays how the Talmud's wisdom reverberates for the modern age and how it can, indeed, change your life.

Before . . .

Life is idyllic for Julie Porter and her husband Owen. They've bought their dream house in the Berkshires; their careers are on the upswing; and they have the world at their fingertips. They've never been so in love. They've never been happier. The only thing that's missing is a baby-but Julie's got a plan, and they're right on schedule.

Until Owen falls ill with food poisoning, leaving Julie to attend a neighborhood holiday party alone. When she wakes up, half-naked in her neighbor's bathtub, Julie doesn't know how to tell Owen, the police, her friends-anyone-that she has been sexually assaulted. So she keeps it secret until she realizes that she's pregnant with her assailant's baby.

After . . .

Desperate to solve the mystery of what happened to her, Julie's driven to more and more erratic behavior, until the truth about that night is revealed. Afterward, no one will be the same ever again. Not Owen. Not the baby. And especially not Julie.
