The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp - Eva Rice - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp - Eva Rice - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Tara Jupp is living out all our dreams: a pop star in Sixties London, surrounded by the glitterati. But can she succeed while holding on to who she is? Country girl Tara is whisked off to Sixties London to become a pop star; there she is dressed, she is shown off at Chelsea parties, photographed by the best. She meets songwriters, singers, designers, and records her song, and falls in love. But behind the buzz and excitement of her success, concern about her beautiful, wild sister Lucy and the bitter relationship with their friend Matilda haunts Tara. Their past friendship is broken, and among the deceptions and the strangeness of both their marriages, the buried secrets keep on reappearing. The brilliant new world of fashion and music, of mini skirts and rock ''n'' roll, of the Marquee Club and The Palladium, is also one of love and heartache.

Goodbye to the Dead - Brian Freeman - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

NINE YEARS It is almost a decade since Duluth said goodbye to its innocence. The city creeps ever closer to the tenth anniversary of the year in which it found itself both gripped by murder and united in terror; and during which the pillar of its community, DS Jonathan Stride, had his home and heart torn to ribbons by the claws of cancer. NINE LIVES Cat Mateo, an orphan with a knack of landing on her feet, has bid farewell to a life on the streets. This once-stray teenager owes her rescue to Detective Stride, the father figure she holds close to her heart. But Cat holds something else to her chest - a secret: the sheer power of which she could not possibly comprehend.A secret that, once out of the bag, will not just viciously scratch at Duluth''s still-healing wounds, but will make DS Jonathan Stride wave goodbye to his convictions about the events nine years before, and say hello to his darkest fears.

But when Vernon returns to his disciples with news of this windfall, it does not take long before his followers start to turn on each other, and his good fortune provokes ruptures in his once harmonious community.Meanwhile, storm clouds are gathering for Aïcha and Céleste: Laurent Dopalet is determined to make them pay for their attack on him, whatever it takes and whoever gets hurt. And before long, the whole of Paris will be reeling in the wake of the terrorist atrocities of 2015 and 2016, and all the characters in this kaleidoscopic portrait of a city will be forced to a reckoning with each other.

Velvet Was The Night - Silvia Moreno Garcia - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''This book is so spectacularly good'' Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Mexico in the 1970s is a dangerous country, even for Maite, a secretary who spends her life seeking the romance found in cheap comic books and ignoring the activists protesting around the city. When her next-door neighbor, the beautiful art student Leonora, disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman-and journeying deeper into Leonora''s secret life of student radicals and dissidents. ''Such a captivating read'' Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Mexico in the 1970s is a politically fraught land, even for Elvis, a goon with a passion for rock ''n'' roll who knows more about kidney-smashing than intrigue. When Elvis is assigned to find Leonora, he begins a blood-soaked search for the woman-and his soul. ''I couldn''t put it down'' Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Swirling in parallel trajectories, Maite and Elvis attempt to discover the truth behind Leonora''s disappearance, encountering hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies. Because Mexico in the 1970s is a noir, where life is cheap and the price of truth is high. Velvet Was the Night : an edgy, simmering historical novel for lovers of smoky noirs and anti-heroes.

A Sense of the Beginning - Norbert Gstrein - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A poignant novel of political-religious awakening by one of Germany''s literary stars An anonymous phone call, an unattended bag discovered in the station of a small Austrian town, a piece of paper saying, "Repent!" and "Next time it will be for real!" A C.C.T.V. image of a young man. What was it that made the teacher think it was his old student, Daniel?Ten years earlier Daniel had spent time with the teacher in his remote house by the river. The town had talked. Anton had recently returned from two years teaching in Istanbul - he was unsettled, subversive, solitary. Daniel was on the brink of adulthood - idealistic, unrequitedly in love with Judith, vulnerable to influence. Those summer weeks by the river were an idyll. But did they also sow the seeds of Daniel''s later obsessiveness, his biblical attitudes, his political dogmatism? As the bomb threat excites the community with all the tension of a witch hunt, and Anton himself becomes a focus for suspicion and gossip, he anatomises his memories of the preceding decade. What went wrong for Daniel, and could he have stopped it?

Conviction - D. A. Mishani - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Both investigations began on the same day. One seemed domestic, almost banal: a newborn is found in a bag outside a hospital and the woman who left it there is captured after a few hours. The second investigation appeared stranger and more intriguing: a Swiss tourist disappeared from a beach-hotel near Tel-Aviv, and a quick inquiry showed he had been using a fake passport and at least two names. Can he be a Mossad agent like his daughter claims? And is he in danger?Inspector Avraham Avraham, wishing to outgrow his usual cases of domestic violence, is indifferent to the one, and seduced by the other. Soon he understands he made a wrong choice, as both investigations spiral into a maze of violence and deception, leading to Israel''s darkest secrets - and threatening to put Avraham in conflict with the most powerful men in the country, who technically don''t even exist. Conviction is a successful synthesis of the emotionality of the previous Avraham cases and the fast-paced, highly suspenseful standalone novel, Three . Once again, Mishani delivers an almost unbearably tense story, both thrilling and emotionally involving. It is yet another triumph.

Nailing It - Rich Hall - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''An uproariously funny collection of true stories from one of the comedy greats'' - BILL BAILEY ''I loved this book. Absolutely adored it. I devoured it and savoured every word. A wild and wonderful love letter to comedy'' - ADAM HILLS ''It''s rare for comedians to be as funny on paper as they are on stage, but Rich Hall nails it '' - CARL HIAASEN A collection of hilarious and often absurd epiphanies in the legendary comedian''s life that defined him - more in a for worse than for better kind of way - and all delivered in his unique deadpan style. Growing up, Rich Hall aspired to be a writer, and after school he trained to be a journalist. But after a stint at the Knoxville News Sentinel in Tennessee, he found himself trying to impress a girl by doing a one-man show in a state university campus in Kansas, armed with a bucket, a loudhailer and some dog biscuits. It wasn''t exactly a triumph, and he didn''t get the girl, but he had found his true calling. Nailing It is a collection of true stories from both Hall''s professional and personal life where he really had to nail it . They''re not about glitz, or fame, or how he met his seventh wife at the rehab clinic and found spiritual direction. None of that happened to him.They''re about accidentally melting Kraft cheese at his first Edinburgh Fringe Festival, alienating an entire convention of RV holiday-makers in Las Vegas, singing The Who''s ''You Better You Bet'' at a charity gig and turning his performance into a legendary rock ''n'' roll disaster, and attempting to seduce Karen, which must have been successful because she is now his wife. And other such escapades.Hall doesn''t always come out of them all covered in glory - far from it - but if someone propped him up at the end of the comedy bar and put a 50p coin in him, these are the tunes he would spin. And you''d be laughing all night.
