Death In Provence
£2.00
When Penelope Kite swaps her humdrum life in Surrey for a picturesque farmhouse in the south of France, she imagines a simple life of long lunches & chilled rosé...

What she doesnt imagine is the dead body floating in her swimming pool.

Convinced that the victim suffered more than a drunken accident, Penelope plunges headlong into local intrigue & long-simmering resentments to uncover the truth.

But with a meddling estate agent, an unfriendly Chief of Police, a suspiciously charming Mayor, & the endless temptation of that second pain au chocolat, life in the delightful village of St Merlot is certainly never simple.

Death In St Jamess
Park - Exploits Of
Thomas Chaloner -Book
8
£1.99
Five years after Charles II's triumphant return to London there is growing mistrust of his extravagant court & of corruption among his officials
- & when a cart laden with gunpowder explodes outside the General Letter Office, it is immediately clear that such an act is more than an expression of outrage at the inefficiency of the postal service. As intelligencer to the Lord Chamberlain, Thomas Chaloner cannot understand why a man of known incompetence is put in charge of investigating the attack while he is diverted to make enquiries about the poisoning of birds in the King's aviary in St James's Park. Then human rather than avian victims are poisoned, & Chaloner knows he has to ignore his master's instructions & use his own considerable wits to defeat an enemy whose deadly tentacles reach into the very heart of the government: an enemy who has the power & expertise to destroy anyone who stands in the way.. .

Death In The Afternoon
- Audio Book
£3.99
Read by Boyd Gaines. Death in the Afternoon is an impassioned look at bullfighting by one of its true aficionados. It reflects Hemingway's conviction that bullfighting was more than mere sport & reveals a rich source of inspiration for his art. The unrivalled drama of bullfighting, with its rigorous combination of athleticism & artistry, & its requisite display of grace under pressure, ignited Hemingway's imagination. Seen through his eyes, bullfighting becomes a richly choreographed ballet, with performers who range from awkward amateurs to masters of great elegance & cunning. Death in the Afternoon is also a deeper contemplation of the nature of cowardice & bravery, sport & tragedy, & is enlivened throughout by Hemingway's sharp commentary on life & literature. ...

Agatha Christie,
Audiobook
£3.99
A full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of an Agatha Christie story. On a flight from Le Bourget to Croydon, on which Hercule Poirot is an apprehensive passenger, a woman is found dead.

- &, perhaps rather too conveniently, a blow pipe is dicovered stuffed down the back of his seat. Clearly the murder can only have been committed by one of the passengers or crew on the plane. But which one? Poirot, Japp & M. Fournier of the Surete will make their way through shoals of red herrings before reaching an utterly unexpected conclusion, Audiobooks, 2 CD, 85 minutes.
