Death Comes to Pemberley
0$4.99A rare meeting of literary genius: P. D. James, long among the most admired mystery writers of our time, draws the characters of Jane Austen’s beloved novel Pride and Prejudice into a tale of murder and emotional mayhem.
It is 1803, six years since Elizabeth and Darcy embarked on their life together at Pemberley, Darcy’s magnificent estate. Their peaceful, orderly world seems almost unassailable. Elizabeth has found her footing as the chatelaine of the great house. They have two fine sons, Fitzwilliam and Charles. Elizabeth’s sister Jane and her husband, Bingley, live nearby; her father visits often; there is optimistic talk about the prospects of marriage for Darcy’s sister Georgiana. And preparations are under way for their much-anticipated annual autumn ball.
Then, on the eve of the ball, the patrician idyll is shattered. A coach careens up the drive carrying Lydia, Elizabeth’s disgraced sister, who with her husband, the very dubious Wickham, has been banned from Pemberley. She stumbles out of the carriage, hysterical, shrieking that Wickham has been murdered. With shocking suddenness, Pemberley is plunged into a frightening mystery.
Inspired by a lifelong passion for Austen, P. D. James masterfully re-creates the world of Pride and Prejudice, electrifying it with the excitement and suspense of a brilliantly crafted crime story, as only she can write it.

Don Tillman Book #1 – The Rosie Project
0$5.99An international sensation, this hilarious, feel-good novel is narrated by an oddly charming and socially challenged genetics professor on an unusual quest: to find out if he is capable of true love.
Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a “wonderful” husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical—most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver.
Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent—and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. Don’s Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie—and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper.
The Rosie Project is a moving and hilarious novel for anyone who has ever tenaciously gone after life or love in the face of overwhelming challenges.

Evil Angels: The disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain
0$4.99The most important book ever written regarding our most shameful and public miscarriage of justice.
The mysterious death of nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain near Ayers Rock in 1980 sparked the most widespread controversy ever known in Australia – and one that endures to this very day. While Azaria’s mother, Lindy, claimed a dingo had taken her baby, she was widely disbelieved. An ever news-hungry media had a field day, disseminating rumours and stirring up suspicion against a woman whose demeanour in the face of tragedy they simply could not understand.
Lindy was found guilty and jailed for life, while her husband was found to be an accessory. Two appeals were lost, but by 1986 the build-up of scientific evidence corroborating the Chamberlains’ story became so overwhelming that the Northern Territory authorities released Lindy rather than re-open the inquiry. A year later a Royal Commission granted her a pardon and in 1992 she and Michael Chamberlain received over $1 million compensation.
Evil Angels is the gripping account of the Chamberlains’ trial and its aftermath, events that shook Australia’s faith in its justice system and its media, and revealed a savage new dimension to the lucky country. Author John Bryson’s multi award-winning book is a compelling narrative of events and issues which are still with us today.
