Miss Scarlet and the Duke: House of Mystery

"The first original novel inspired by the hit MASTERPIECE® Mystery! series Miss Scarlet and the Duke. At the height of Victorian 'Egyptian Mummymania,' when illusion and obsession captivate London society, a discovery defies all reason—the body of a recently murdered woman found inside a sarcophagus sealed for thousands of years. For Eliza Scarlet, the case offers a chance to prove herself once again in a world that continues to underestimate her, but as she delves deeper, she uncovers a troubling pattern—women vanishing, lives dismissed, and a mystery that reaches further than anyone is willing to admit. At its center is a name spoken in whispers: Jebediah Griffin. As Eliza follows the truth into increasingly perilous territory, Detective Inspector William Wellington is never far behind. He is bound to her by loyalty, by history…and by something neither of them is willing to face. Each step deeper into the case tests not only their resolve, but the fragile line between partnership and something more."

Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys: A Midsummer Ramble in the Dolomites

"“Probably the most dramatic landscape on earth.' Amelia B. Edwards first heard about the Dolomites in 1853, through sketches brought back to England from Italy. On 27 June 1872, she embarked on a trip through the mountains with her friend Lucy Renshaw. At the time of Edwards’s visit, the Dolomites were described as terra incognita and even educated persons had never heard of them. During the expedition, Edwards also sought works of Titian, finding a Madonna and Child in Serravalle (Vittorio Veneto) and two other paintings at a village church in Cadore. They traveled alone, by carriage, by cart, side saddle on mules, and on foot, visiting remote villages where few foreigners had been, and explored the strikingly beautiful limestone mountains with the help of local guides. Edwards chronicled their journey in this bestselling Victorian travelogue, writing detailed descriptions of the geological, cultural, and political history of the region. She also sketched the illustrations that appear in the book. After her descent from the mountains, Edwards described civilized life as a “dead-level World of Commonplace.”"

Homestead: A Novel

"High in the Austrian alps, surrounded by a perfect ring of mountains, the village of Rosenau is made up of a scattering of dairy farms. This is a place so isolated that the arrival of a postcard from the outside world is an event that triggers everyone’s imaginations. The novel opens in 1909 with Anna of Bengat homestead and her love for rough, beautiful Peter, her husband, and for their children, and for her dead sister’s twin boys, Stante and Michel, one intellectually and the other physically disabled. As the years pass, the story unfolds through the eyes of the women of Anna’s family and the interconnected families of Bent Elbow homestead and the Wainwright’s clan: Bent Elbow’s Johanna, finding sudden, late love in the summer of 1916 in the most unexpected place; Isabella, Peter’s mother, who cannot bring herself to look at his ravaged face when he comes home from the Great War; Wainwright’s Katharina, half-sister to Stante and Michel, careless and self-centered, who unwittingly betrays them in return for a ride in a Nazi’s beautiful automobile; Anna’s Olga, who grows up to marry someone she loves, only to lose him and her four brothers in the maw of the Second World War. As we listen, each chapter adds layers of meaning from a different character’s point of view, and the life of Rosenau gathers force and complexity, like a living thing. We don’t notice while we’re watching, but when the tale is done we’re stunned by the fullness and beauty of a world as remote as another planet, as near as our own longings and loves."

"Magic is coming back, and the world will never be the same. If you had the chance to bring magic back to the modern world, would you risk everything to do it?

In a desperate race across America to a sacred canyon in Arizona, Brenda must master powers she barely understands, survive enemies with centuries of knowledge, and make an impossible choice: save Valor's people and unleash magic on an unprepared world, or let an entire civilization die to keep humanity safe.

The Covert Buccaneer

"San Francisco. Two trailblazing women—separated by a century—fighting for their futures. The Covert Buccaneer is a sweeping, dual-timeline historical fiction, women’s fiction, legal drama, and love story. 1867–1919: Theodora “Teddy” Ellis is anything but ordinary. A pioneering miner, suffragist, and San Francisco real estate developer, she infiltrates male-dominated spaces in disguise, stakes claims in the ruthless Klondike, and fights for women’s rights and healthcare alongside her Miwok best friend. She survives the 1871 Chicago Fire and later helps rebuild San Francisco post-1906 earthquake and fire, reshaping the city’s future. But Teddy’s personal life is as unconventional as her ambitions—her relationships defy expectation, with the truth of her legacy lost to time. 2019–2020: Georgina “Ellie” Benvenuto is a divorced climate migrant attorney and single mother to a child with disabilities, struggling in a low-paying public interest job with a derailed legal career. As she wrestles with impossible personal and professional demands, she discovers her great-great-grandmother’s hidden diaries—revealing uncanny parallels to her own life. A long-forgotten heirloom of Teddy’s holds the key to a pivotal legal case—bringing the past crashing into the present and forcing Ellie to reconsider everything she understood about identity, love, and the cost of reinvention. For listeners who love intergenerational mysteries woven with family secrets, lost heirlooms, and the weight of inheritance—much like recent bestsellers that blend past and present narratives with a feminist lens, such as The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Personal Librarian, and Winter Garden—this novel is a must-listen. Already compared to Lessons in Chemistry, this richly atmospheric, meticulously researched novel explores resilience, reinvention, and the defiant women history tried to erase. Like The Alice Network and other Reese’s Book Club picks, it is sure to rivet listeners and spark discussion—perfect for fans of Jo Piazza and other GMA Book Club authors."

Hudson River Bracketed

"“Getting at once to the heart of things: that was the secret. But how many people know it, or had any idea where the heart of things really was?…” “He could not imagine putting down on paper anything that had not risen slowly to the verge of his consciousness, that had not to be fished for and hauled up with infinite precautions from some secret pool of being as to which he knew nothing as yet but the occasional leap, deep down in it, of something alive but invisible…” In Hudson River Bracketed, Edith Wharton illuminates the creative process of writing. Vance Weston, a young Midwesterner yearning to be a writer, travels to New York in pursuit of his dreams. On the Hudson River, in an old house called The Willows, he meets a kindred spirit. Halo Spear is the privileged daughter of an old New York family, a lover of poetry and literature who educates and inspires him as he hones his craft. Their journey is beset by money and family woes, the cynicism of commerce and society, the hucksters peddling art and religion—all the obstacles they face in their search for truth—but nothing can dim the light of their connection. Originally published in 1929."
