Laissez-vous gagner par cette famille fantaisiste digne d'Almodóvar. Réunion de famille impromptue dans un café. Fernando, sa mère, Amalia, ses deux sœurs, Emma et Silvia. Tous espèrent un coup de téléphone qui tarde à arriver. L'attente, fébrile, est ponctuée de scènes savoureuses, de quiproquos et de malentendus. Les vérités cachées ou à demi dites s'égrènent sans fin. Et on rit aux larmes de cette comédie familiale plus profonde qu'il n'y paraît.

Londres 1892. Une femme est sauvagement assassinée dans le quartier pauvre de Whitechapel. Désemparée par l'inefficacité de la police, la mère de la victime engage Sidney Grice, le plus célèbre détective privé de Londres. D'une intelligence acérée, l'homme est d'une efficacité redoutable. Il pense que le "sexe faible" n'a pas sa place dans un cabinet de détective, mais il fait tout de même appel à March Middleton, une jeune femme excentrique un peu trop portée sur le gin, pour l'assister. L'irrésistible duo mène l'enquête et découvre que le mystérieux meurtre n'était que le premier d'une sinistre série.

Revenge. A dish best served cold. Or, if you’re Sydney native Lola Wedd, with a broken heart and a life in chaos, a dish served up by heading to India to marry a total stranger as part of an international visa scam. Lola naïvely thought she would "find herself" in India. Instead she is enmeshed in a drama worthy of Bollywood, starring an abandoned pariah dog, a dead civil servant, a suicidal housewife, a boutique hotel owner, a blushing chauffeur, an absent groom, an ambitious girl journalist and a megalomaniac monkey.

En ce moment, ça marche impeccablement pour le commissaire Franz Eberhofer : ses amours roulent, la porcherie qu'il rénove est pratiquement habitable, il tient la forme grâce aux bières régulières et aux promenades quotidiennes avec Louis II - son chien, son coach fitness, son fidèle compagnon. Mais voilà que l'ambiance tourne à l'aigre dans le village de Niederkaltenkirchen : quelqu'un a tagué en rouge sur la maison du directeur du collège M. Höpfl "Crève, sale porc !". Le directeur disparaît plusieurs jours, pour revenir une nuit sous une forme plutôt macabre.

Bienvenue dans le village de Niederkaltenkirchen, Bavière, pour une comédie policière haute en couleur. Le commissaire Franz Eberhofer, viré de Munich pour raisons disciplinaires, se la coulait douce dans sa bourgade natale : les patrouilles finissaient invariablement devant une bière chez Wolfi, en promenade avec Louis II, son chien, dans la boucherie de son copain Simmerl ou à table avec sa mémé sourde comme un pot.

But it’s not really school that preoccupies him; it’s sensual fantasies of his best friend’s sister.

From New York Times best-selling author Kim Karr comes a flirty new love story. The whole stethoscope-and-white coat thing isn't my cup of tea. I prefer a man with an artistic vein in his body and 9-to-5 hours. And I can definitely do without the half-lidded, sleepy bedroom eyes. (Okay, so those are kind of sexy.) Tall, dark, and handsome doesn't change the fact that he's arrogant, cocky, and rude. Not that I care, but he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with a quirky girl like me, which is why he said no. Turns out no isn't an option.
