Summary:

When murder taints writer-in-residence Penelope Parish's charming British bookshop, she must follow the clues to catch a killer before tempers boil over.

Penelope Parish thought she'd turned the page on her amateur sleuthing days but when the owner of Upper Chumley-on-Stokes's proposed first high-end gourmet shop is poisoned, the American novelist starts to wonder if she and her quaint British town are in for another rewrite. It turns out that not everyone was a fan of Simeon Foster's farm-sourced charcuterie and imported pastries-many of the locals were outraged by the potential new competition.

With a full menu of suspects on her hands, this just might be Penelope's toughest case yet. Luckily, her friends at the Open Book are there to help with every twist of the poisoned pen.

Title: Reclaim: understanding complex trauma and those who abuse

Author: Dr. Ahona Guha

Narrator: Siiri Scott

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:06:01

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology

Summary:

The relationship between trauma and mental health is becoming better recognized, but survivors and professionals alike remain confused about how best to understand and treat it. In Reclaim, through a series of case studies and expert analysis, Dr. Ahona Guha explores complex traumas, how survivors can recover and heal, and the nature of those who abuse. She shines a light on the 'difficult' trauma victims that society often ignores, and tackles vital questions such as, 'Why are psychological abuse and coercive control so difficult to spot?' and 'Why do some people harm others, and how do we protect ourselves from them?'

As a clinical and forensic psychologist, Dr. Guha has had extensive experience in working with those who perpetrate harm-including stalkers, sex offenders, violent offenders, and those who threaten, bully, and harass-and she has a deep understanding of the psychological and social factors that cause people to abuse others. In turn, her clinical work in the trauma treatment field has led her to recognize the enormous impacts of complex trauma, and the failures of systems when working with those who have been victimized.

By emphasizing compassion above all, Dr. Guha calls for us to become better informed about perpetrators and the needs of victims, so we might reclaim a safer, healthier society for everyone.

Title: Gospel of Nicodemus

Author: Jeremiah Jones, William Hone, William Wake

Narrator: Denis Daly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:37:14

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-23

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Studies

Summary:

The authorship of this Gospel has been widely disputed. Some scholars accept that it was really written by Nicodemus, the Pharisee who visited Jesus by night, as described in chapter three of Johns Gospel. Others have conjectured that the Gospel was a forgery made towards the close of the third century by some zealous believer who imagined it would aid the spread of Christianity. Jeremiah Jones notes that such pious frauds were very common among Christians even in the first three centuries, and that the circulation of forgeries of this nature seems natural and probable.

The reference to the Acts of Pontius Pilate relates to a note in the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius of Caesarea (260340), which mentions the book and avers that it was not composed by a heathen.

Whether this text is canonical or not, it is of great antiquity and was appealed to by several ancient Christians.

The translation used for this recording was made from the Gospel published by Grynaeus in the Orthodoxographa.

Title: Hope and Hard Truth: A Life in Texas Politics

Author: Mary Beth Rogers

Narrator: Mary Beth Rogers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:14:00

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Law & Politics, Women

Summary:

Mary Beth Rogers has led an eventful life rooted in the weeds of Texas politics, occasionally savoring a few victories-particularly the 1990 governor's race when, as campaign manager for Ann Richards, she did the impossible and put a Democratic woman in office. She also learned to absorb her losses-after all, she was a liberal feminist in America's most aggressively conservative state.

Rogers's road to a political life was complex. Candidly and vulnerably, she shares both public and private memories of how she tried to maintain a rich family life with growing children and a husband with a debilitating illness. She goes on to provide an insider's account of her experiences as Richards's first chief of staff while weaving her way through the highs and lows of political intrigue and legislative maneuvering.

Reflecting on her family heritage and nascent spiritual quest, Rogers discovers a reality at once sobering and invigorating: nothing is ever completely lost or completely won. It is a constant struggle to create humane public policies built on a foundation of fairness and justice-particularly in her beloved Texas.

Title: Bizarro: The Surreal Saga of America's Secret War on Synthetic Drugs and the Florida Kingpins It Captured

Author: Jordan S. Rubin

Narrator: Stephen Bowlby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:18:27

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Law

Summary:

Inside a drug war so screwy that people don't know what's illegal-until it's too late.

Bizarro is a must-listen tale of the unprecedented prosecution of Burton Ritchie and Ben Galecki, the Florida-based founders of a sprawling 'spice' (synthetic cannabinoid) operation. With this book, journalist and former New York City narcotics prosecutor Jordan S. Rubin exposes a Reagan-era law called the Analogue Act, which targets dealers selling drugs that are 'substantially similar' to controlled substances-an unwieldy law that produces erratic results in court.

Rubin brings listeners deep inside the synthetic war, exploring how Ritchie and Galecki landed in its crosshairs and why one of the DEA's own chemists may have been their best chance at freedom, until he was arrested too. This stranger-than-fiction narrative is backed by thousands of pages of court records and exclusive interviews with defendants, lawyers, law enforcement, celebrities, and more. Bizarro reveals the world of underground chemists making drugs faster than the government can ban them, dealers making millions in a gray market, and a justice system run amok.

Title: Orange-Yellow Diamond

Author: J. S. Fletcher

Narrator: John Rayburn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:17:26

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-23

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Thriller & Horror, International Mystery

Summary:

On the southern edge of the populous parish of Paddington, England in a parallelogram bounded by Oxford and Cambridge Terrace on the south, Praed Street on the north, and by Edgware Road on the east and Spring Street on the west, lies an assemblage of mean streets, the drab dullness of which forms a remarkable contrast to the pretentious architectural grandeurs of Sussex Square and Lancaster Gate, close by. In these streets the observant will always find all those evidences of depressing semi-poverty which are more evident in London than in any other English city. The houses look as if laughter was never heard within them. Where the window blinds are not torn, they are dirty; the folk who come out of the doors wear anxious and depressed faces. Such shops as are there are mainly kept for the sale of food of poor quality: the taverns at the corners are destitute of attraction or pretension. Whoever wanders into these streets finds their sordid shabbiness communicating itself: he escapes, cast down, wondering who the folk are who live in those grey, lifeless cages; what they do, what they think; how life strikes them. Even the very sparrows which fight in the gutters for garbage are less lively than London sparrows usually are; as for the children who sit about the doorsteps, they look as if the grass, the trees, the flowers, and the sunlight of the adjacent Kensington Gardens were as far away as the Desert of Gobi. Within this slice of the town, indeed, life is lived, as it were, in a stagnant backwash, which nothing and nobody can stir.
