'Somebody's going to be murdered at the ball tonight. It won't appear to be a murder, and so the murderer won't be caught. Rectify that injustice and I'll show you the way out.' It is meant to be a celebration, but it ends in tragedy. As fireworks explode overhead, Evelyn Hardcastle, the young and beautiful daughter of the house, is killed. But Evelyn will not die just once. Until Aiden - one of the guests summoned to Blackheath for the party - can solve her murder, the day will repeat itself over and over again.

Complex but Brilliant. A Classic in the making!

“This book blew my mind. It is utterly original and unique.” - Sophie Hannah
A Harper's Bazaar must-read book of 2018, Stuart Turton’s high concept murder mystery combines nuances of Gosford Park with Inception and Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. At a gala party thrown by her parents, Evelyn Hardcastle will be killed - again. She's been murdered hundreds of times and each day Aiden Bishop is too late to save her. Doomed to repeat the same day over and over, walking in the body of a different guest, Aiden's only escape is to identify her killer. A highly original, mind-bending debut performed by Jot Davies.

Story23
Two sisters - Miranda, the older, responsible one, always her younger sister's protector; Lucia, the headstrong, unpredictable one, whose impulses are huge and, often, life changing. When their mother dies and Lucia starts hearing voices, it is Miranda who must find a way to reach her sister. But Lucia impetuously plows ahead, marrying a bighearted older man only to leave him suddenly to have a baby with a young Latino immigrant.
“A tender but unflinching portrayal of the bond between two sisters.” - Celeste Ng
Told from alternating perspectives and performed by a full-cast, including Cassandra Campbell, Mira T. Lee’s debut novel is at its core a heart-wrenching family drama about relationships and tough choices. Two sisters, one responsible and the other vibrant and headstrong, must navigate mental illness after their mother’s death. Lucia, hearing voices, refuses to be defined by any doctor’s diagnosis. Leaving her own self-contained life in Switzerland to rescue her sister again, Miranda’s devotion is clear. But only Lucia can decide whether she wants to be saved. Unforgettable and full of passion, this listen will make you question the sacrifices we make for love.
