    Summary

    About to undertake her first business venture at home, Chef Lizzy Bennet sets forth on a summer trip to the White City to attend Louisa Bingley's wedding alongside her sister Jane. There, under the relentless sun and immersed in Southern Italy's quiet sensuality, she'll get acquainted with the good, the bad and the ugly of London's high society, and, amongst them, the elusive presence of the Dating Coach, Fitzwilliam Darcy, who has more to him than meets the eye.

    This unexpected summer storm will force her to reevaluate every certainty in her life and, above all, herself.

    Summary

    The Bowerbird wasn't playing fair; Jack couldn't debate these pieces of paper. He couldn't tell pieces of paper and a growing pile of feathers that he, too, remembered the rare treat that was eating a single piece of tropical fruit in the heavy heat of a Christmas afternoon, stickying his best suit of clothes, which had been so clean and pressed for church that morning.

    (In which Inspector Jack Robinson is having a fairly uneventful year, divorce notwithstanding, until he acquires a lady doctor for a drinking buddy and receives a series of flirtatious notes from a jewel thief.)

    Summary

    Sequel to "Instructions Not Included".

    Two months after that whole business with Raphael's staff, Aziraphale and Crowley are about to be dragged back into the politics of Heaven and Hell whether they like it or not. An old enemy resurfaces to cause problems on purpose, they're hired to investigate a highly unusual missing persons case, and Crowley has a very bad day at the office.

    Or: Crowley and Aziraphale run a supernatural detective agency. Shenanigans ensue. Slowburn continues. Apparently, there is plot. I have some thoughts about Heaven, Hell, and humanism. There will be stupid jokes and a healthy sprinkling of angst.
