Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry. In "Murder at the Mousetrap," the first Bunburry book, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour. Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined. After arriving in Bunburry, he is co-opted as an amateur detective by Liz and Marge, two elderly ladies who were best friends with Alfie's late Aunt Augusta. And it is not long before their investigations take an even more dramatic turn ... In "A Murderous Ride," the second Bunburry book, Alfie discovers that he has not only inherited a cottage from his late Aunt Augusta but also a 1950s Jaguar. He is dismayed: for reasons of his own, he no longer drives. Aunt Augusta's best friends, Liz and Marge, persuade him to get behind the wheel again - but that's just the start of his troubles. Alfie discovers it's a seriously bad idea to get on the wrong side of the local police sergeant. Especially when he finds himself at a murder scene and the sergeant decides Alfie's the murderer. There's only one thing to be done. Alfie has to track down the real murderer himself - which will force him to drive as he's never driven before. In "A Taste of Murder," the third Bunburry book, a local beef farmer is found dead and Betty Thorndike, vegetarian and Bunburry's only Green Party member, is in the frame. Despite what everyone thinks, Betty is absolutely not Alfie McAlister's girlfriend. But Alfie knows what it's like to be wrongly accused, and enlists the help of his fellow amateur detectives, Liz and Marge, to find out who's responsible. There's just one problem about a farm-based investigation - Alfie's scared of cows ...

Tres décadas de matrimonio parecen irse a pique en medio del sofocante verano de Estocolmo. ¿Qué fantasmas revivió la discusión que lo desencadenó todo? ¿Quién está diciendo la verdad? Moa Herngren debuta en español con el fenómeno literario que sacudió Suecia: una novela intrigante y adictiva que no podrás soltar hasta que decidas de qué lado estás. Toda historia tiene dos caras. . . Bea no podría estar más emocionada por sus próximas vacaciones en la isla de Gotland. Está desesperada por escapar del agobiante calor de Estocolmo y recuperarse del estrés de la vida cotidiana en compañía de su amado Niklas, con quien lleva casada treinta y dos años, sus dos malhumoradas hijas adolescentes y su querida familia política. Una noche, poco antes de su partida, Bea y Niklas discuten por un asunto trivial. Niklas sale con un amigo para desahogarse, pero no vuelve a casa, y la irritación de Bea pronto da paso al pánico al imaginar qué tipo de desastre podría haber ocurrido para retrasar su regreso. Lo que Bea descubre cambiará su vida para siempre: su marido está bien, pero su matrimonio, no. Él quiere dejarla, y aunque a Bea esto le parezca una locura repentina, para Niklas es cualquier cosa menos eso... Escrita con la calidez y la empatía que han hecho de sus perspicaces y apasionantes novelas familiares un éxito de ventas en su Suecia natal, Moa Herngren plantea preguntas juiciosas sobre por qué se rompen las relaciones: ¿La persona que se va es siempre la mala? ¿Qué surge cuando se empieza a rascar la superficie de lo que parece una situación clara? Contada desde las perspectivas de ambos, El divorcio es un apasionante drama doméstico que explora hábilmente las complejidades del matrimonio moderno. ----- A decades-long, seemingly rock-solid marriage suddenly falls apart during one hot Stockholm summer in this addictive domestic drama that marks the American debut of #1 Swedish bestselling author Moa Herngren. There are two sides to every story . . . Bea couldn't be more excited to trade the stifling Stockholm summer heat for vacation on Gotland Island. She’s looking forward to spending quality time with her beloved husband of thirty-two years, Niklas, and their two moody teenage daughters, and recuperating from the stress of daily life in the company of her beloved in-laws. One night shortly before their departure, Bea and Niklas have a seemingly mundane argument over a trivial issue, and Niklas goes out with a friend to blow off steam. As the hours pass, Niklas doesn’t come home, and Bea’s irritation soon gives way to panic as she imagines what kind of disaster might have happened to delay his return. What she soon learns will change her life forever: while her husband is fine, their marriage is not. Her kind, gentle pediatrician husband wants to leave her. But while this might seem like sudden insanity to Bea, for Niklas, it’s anything but… Written with the warmth and empathy that have made her insightful, page-turning family novels bestsellers in her native Sweden, Moa Herngren raises thoughtful questions about why relationships fall apart: Is the person who leaves always the bad guy? What emerges once you begin scratching the surface of what seems like a clear-cut situation? Told from dual perspectives, The Divorce is a gripping domestic drama that deftly explores the complexities of modern marriage. Translated from the Swedish by Alice Menzies
