Gentle Ruby dreams of escaping the sweatshop by training as a nurse, while her flamboyant twin Rosetta craves the bright lights

...

For Ruby & Rosetta Capretti life in the slums of the East End holds little promise. Although very similar in looks they dream of very different futures. Coquettish, flamboyant Rosetta is desperate to leave the claustrophobic confines of the sewing sweatshop to follow in her wayward aunt's footsteps & work under the bright lights of the music hall. Ruby, quieter & more modest has always longed to train as a nurse, a pipe-dream for a girl from her humble background. & then, by the side of their father's grave, they meet handsome Jonas Crowe, but little do they know how much one man will affect both their lives forever.. ...

From the outside, the house was unremarkable. Just one of many on an ordinary, suburban estate. But inside was a different matter. With pink ribbons & pink walls, stuffed toy animals everywhere & a dining table laid out for a tea party, it was a doll's house. The doll was sitting at the table. Life size, with blonde, pigtailed hair & rosy red cheeks, dressed in her best pink party dress. Her finger & thumb curled round the handle of a fine china teacup. An adult woman. Covered in blood. Eviscerated. Dead. In all his years on the force, DI Phil Brennan of the Major Incident Squad has never encountered a scene like it. As he investigates he uncovers more bizarre revelations & realises that he must act fast; the next murder has already been planned & the victim is close to home... ...

When a man is found beaten to death in a local Manchester park, Detective Constable Sam Parker is one of the investigating officers. Sam swiftly identifies the victim, but what at first looks like an open & shut case quickly starts to unravel when he realises that the victim's fingerprints were found on a knife at another crime scene, a month earlier.

Meanwhile, Sam's brother, Joe
- a criminal defence lawyer in the city
- comes face to face with a man whose very presence sends shockwaves through his life. Joe must confront the demons of his past as he struggles to come to terms with the darkness that this man represents.

Before long, Joe & Sam are in way over their heads, both sucked into a terrifying game of cat-&-mouse that threatens to change their lives for ever...

Mma Ramotswe & Mma Makutsi are called to a safari lodge in Botswana's Okavango Delta to carry out a delicate mission on behalf of a former guest. The Okavango makes Precious appreciate once again the beauty of her homeland: it is a paradise of teeming wildlife, majestic grasslands & sparkling water. However, it is also home to rival safari operators, fearsome crocodiles & disgruntled hippopotamuses. What's more, Mma Makutsi still does not have a date for her wedding to Phuti Radiphuti & is feeling rather tetchy herself. But Precious knows that with a little patience, just as the wide river will gently make its way round any obstacle, so will everything work out for the best in the end.. . ...

Read by Adjoa Andoh. It is all very well for Mr Clovis Anderson, renowned author of The Principles of Private Detection, to warn against working for those we love. But it is clear to Mma Ramotswe that Rra Anderson is not a regular visitor to Botswana, where friends & family, like cattle & acacia trees, are everywhere. However, as the rains arrive, along with a new crop of cases for the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency, it would seem that Anderson's words may contain wisdom. For while searching for the beneficiary of a faraway American lady's legacy on a distant safari camp appears straightforward, old friend Mma Mateleke's suspicions that her husband has strayed will certainly require a delicate touch. & when Mma Makutsi's husb&-to-be Mr Phuti Radiphuti is injured & an unpleasant senior aunt seeks to supplant his fiancee at the bedside, the ties of blood appear more problematic still. ...
