Book Description
When two young boys find a woman's body in a quarry, Jill Kennedy and DCI Max Trentham experience a definite feeling of déjà vu. Five years earlier, four women were found murdered in exactly the same way. Weirdly, the bodies had each been discovered wrapped in a shroud - so the killer was soon dubbed 'The Undertaker'. Following Jill's profiling the police tried to arrest a loner called Edward Marshall, but the man had fled and, after a high-speed car chase, lost control and went over a cliff. His car was found but his body never was. Now there are three possibilities: Marshall somehow survived that plunge into the sea; Marshall was innocent and the real killer is back - or a copycat is at work. It is up to Jill and Max to work out whether a terrible mistake was made by the police five years ago... or whether the original murderer had an apprentice waiting in the wings.

Book Description
"The Petals Fall One by One" chronicles the rollercoaster of love, life, heartbreak, and new beginnings. It is based on the author, Armond Gray Jr's, authentic experiences and his loved ones' experiences. The poems take the reader through the hills and valleys of life, but in the end, the poems remind us all that we're human and to take it one day at a time. Additionally, the author's motivation stemmed from quarantine and the Covid-19 pandemic. His goal was to find a way to connect with others on a mental and emotional level without being physically together. More importantly, his motivation stems from his grandparents, great-grandparents, and uncles, who have transitioned onto the next realm. Each chapter in the book has a flower's name, and each flower has a different representation. The poems within each chapter relate to the literary understanding of that specific flower. The chapter "ROSES" represents romance and passionate love. The chapter "PROTEAS" represents change and transformation. The chapter "DAFFODILS" symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. The chapter "ORCHIDS" exemplifies themes of refinement and maturity, and lastly, the chapter "SWEET PEAS" represents appreciation and departure. The intentionality of Armond's creativity as he penned the expressive art of his poetry is meant to engulf you in the emotions that each poem evokes. An ageless and timeless masterpiece, "The Petals Fall One by One" is a special treat.

Book Description
We’ve all seen red roses, blue irises, and yellow daffodils. But when we really look closely at a flower, whole new worlds of beauty and intricacy emerge. Using a unique process that far surpasses conventional macro photography, Robert Llewellyn shows us details that few of us have ever seen: the amazing architecture of stamens and pistils; the subtle shadings on a petal; the secret recesses of nectar tubes. Complementing Llewellyn’s stunning photographs are Teri Dunn Chace’s lyrical, illuminating essays. By highlighting the features that distinguish twenty-eight of the most common families of flowering plants, Chace gives us fascinating insights into the natural history of flowers, such as the relationship between pollinators and floral form and color. At the same time she gives us a deeper appreciation of why and how flowers have become so deeply embedded in human culture. Whether you’re a nature lover, a gardener, a photography buff, or someone who simply responds to the timeless beauty and variety of the floral world, Seeing Flowers will be a source of enduring delight.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system with nowhere to go, Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But an unexpected encounter with a mysterious stranger has her questioning what’s been missing in her life. And when she’s forced to confront a painful secret from her past, she must decide whether it’s worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness. Look for special features inside. Join the Circle for author chats and more. Praise for The Language of Flowers "Instantly enchanting . . . [Diffenbaugh] is the best new writer of the year."—Elle “I would like to hand Vanessa Diffenbaugh a bouquet of bouvardia (enthusiasm), gladiolus (you pierce my heart) and lisianthus (appreciation). In this original and brilliant first novel, Diffenbaugh has united her fascination with the language of flowers—a long-forgotten and mysterious way of communication—with her firsthand knowledge of the travails of the foster-care system. . . . This novel is both enchanting and cruel, full of beauty and anger. Diffenbaugh is a talented writer and a mesmerizing storyteller. She includes a flower dictionary in case we want to use the language ourselves. And there is one more sprig I should add to her bouquet: a single pink carnation (I will never forget you).”—Washington Post "A fascinating debut . . . Diffenbaugh clearly knows both the human heart and her plants, and she keeps us rooting for the damaged Victoria."—O Magazine "Diffenbaugh effortlessly spins this enchanting tale, making even her prickly protagonist impossible not to love."—Entertainment Weekly
