Bernie and Libby, sisters and owners of A Taste of Heaven Catering, are partnering up with the Just Chocolate store for a Valentine's Day mega-event. When a client's mother dies, Bernie and Libby put their plans on hold to attend the funeral, only to become involved in a grisly mystery. A corpse has been found...in someone else's grave. The body belongs to Ted Gorman--the same Ted Gorman who co-owned Just Chocolate and supposedly died in a fiery car crash weeks earlier. Now Bernie and Libby, working with Ted's widow, must sort through a mixed box of dark financial scandal, sticky family ties, and bittersweet passion to unwrap a killer with a ruthless center...From Publishers WeeklyCrawford's well-paced fourth culinary cozy (after 2005's A Catered Christmas), finds sisters Bernie and Libby Simmons, who run a catering business in Longely, N.Y., called A Little Taste of Heaven, flooded with a rush of orders for Valentine's Day on top of the fund-raiser they're organizing with recently widowed chocolate-store owner Marnie Gorman. But their duties take them beyond the kitchen when Marnie's dead hubby, Ted, turns up in someone else's grave—and in far better condition than after his death in a fiery car accident. Funeral home mogul Clayton Hanson, father and employer of Libby's undertaker boyfriend Marvin, calls on Bernie and Libby to solve the grave-swapping mystery, and the sisters bring in their wheelchair-bound ex-policeman dad, Sean, as reinforcement. But even as a two-time corpse, Ted is not at rest. On the romantic front, as Bernie's love with her sweetheart, Rob, fades, longtime friend and bartender Brandon appears more than willing to take his place. (Jan.)

In this warm, tender, wonderfully evocative and often hilarious memoir one of the best-loved men in Britain, Alan Titchmarsh, brilliantly recalls his childhood in 1950s Yorkshire. Growing up in the beautiful landscape that surrounds Ilkley in Wharfedale inspired Alan's early passion for nature. It was his Grandpa Hardisty who - with his allotment - encouraged Alan's first gardening skills. And it was The Princess Book of Ballet which proved the unlikely - and as it happened ill-advised - source of Alan's burgeoning performing talent. There was a lot of growing up to do. With the sharpest eye for detail and vivid recall, he brings to life the various family members, school friends - and foes - teachers and local characters who became the powerful early influences of Alan's life. A joy from beginning to end, this is a classic childhood memoir. Views: 148

Shocking and moving, Falling Under is as edgy as a razor blade and unlike anything you've ever read before."From Kim Alexander for XM Radio Fiction Nation"Here's a debut novel that delivers, with a narrator who's afraid of just about everything except revealing herself on paper — there's a real element of 'I shouldn't be seeing this' in Younge-Ullman's work. The story of Mara, a talented painter so beset by her demons and fears that can she can barely leave her house, is set alongside the story of Mara's childhood, and I got the rare experience of both plunging forward with the story and stepping back to...
