The latest thrilling entry in the bestselling Under Suspicion series by Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke. Two identical brothers, both handsome, intelligent and popular recent college graduates, seemingly perfect in every way. That is, until the shocking summer night when one of them killed their parents in cold blood. The other has an iron-clad alibi, but which twin was where during the murders? And is it possible the two of them planned the perfect crime together? Years later, the case is still unsolved, and the brothers are long estranged. Each of them claims that the other is responsible for the deaths of their parents, and they turn to television producer Laurie Moran and her team to reinvestigate. But as the Under Suspicion crew gets closer to the truth, the danger that was assumed to be left in the past finds its way into the present . . . Featuring chilling suspense, a cast of characters whom loyal readers have come to love, and a final jaw-dropping twist, It Had to Be You is not to be missed.

Featuring original interviews with Everest mountain guides and climbers, this is a fast-moving, nuanced account of the peaks transformation from the ultimate mountaineering challenge into a booming business opportunity (Joshua Hammer, New York Times bestselling author). Anyone who has read Jon Krakauers Into Thin Air or has seen a recent photo of climbers standing in line to get to the top of Everest may think they have a sense of what the worlds highest mountain is like. Its an extreme landscape where bad weather and incredible altitude can kill; an overcrowded, trashed-out recreation destination; and a place where the rich exploit local Sherpas while padding their egosand social media feeds.Theres some truth to these cliches, but theyre a sliver of the story. Unlike any book to date, Everest, Inc. is the definitive account of how a few daring entrepreneurs paired raw courage and naked ambition to get paying clients safely up and down Everest. Until the late eighties, such a thing was considered impossible. Within a few years, Everest guiding was a burgeoning industry. Today, ninety percent of the people on the mountain are clients or employees of guided expeditions.Studded with quotes from original interviews with more than a hundred Western and Sherpa climbers, clients, writers, and filmmakersincluding Jimmy Chin and Conrad AnkerEverest, Inc. foregrounds the colorful voices of the people who have made the mountain what it is today. As professional climber and author Freddie Wilkinson says, Whether you are thinking about taking a crack at the worlds highest peak or are simply an armchair mountaineer trying to make sense of the complex dynamics driving the modern Everest industry, Everest, Inc. should be required reading.

Mazey Eddings signature sparkling voice shines through in this sexy, sapphic, opposites-attract romance!A magnificent story about queer joy, queer love, and the power of queer community . . . this book is a must-readALISON COCHRUNWinning the lottery ruined Opal Devlins life. She may have been able to leave her dead-end job, but now shes getting endlessly bombarded with people knocking at her door for a handout . . . and she cant seem to stop saying yes.Opal realises she has a chance to follow her own dreams, and decides to spend almost all her new money on a failing flower farm in North Carolina where she can start her painting business. But her plans for isolation soon go hopelessly awry when an angry (albeit gorgeous) Pepper Boden is waiting for her at her new farm. Pepper states that shes the rightful owner of Thistle and Bloom Farms, and she isnt moving out.Theres not much else they can do except strike up an agreement of co-habitation, but theyre soon butting heads at every turn. While they each have a reason to stay, can these two opposites find a way to plant some roots? Or will their combustible arguing (and growing attraction) burn the whole place down?Amazing praise for Mazey Eddings:So freaking cute. . .Tilly in Technicolor will have you aching with love for these characters while swooning at their awkward adorableness together.
