Roberta Corradin Volgorde van de boeken

In een prettig en rustig bejaardenhuis vormen vier bewoners een onwaarschijnlijk clubje. Een keer per week, op de donderdag, ontmoeten ze elkaar om onopgeloste moorden te onderzoeken. Als een vastgoedontwikkelaar uit het nabijgelegen stadje wordt vermoord komt ‘de moordclub’ in actie; het is hun eerste grote zaak. Tot hun verbazing lijkt de moord alles te maken te hebben met hun eigen verzorgingshuis. De vier vrienden mogen dan wel behoorlijk op leeftijd zijn, ze hebben allemaal meer dan genoeg levenservaring. Maar zijn ze nog in staat om een moordenaar te vinden voor hij weer toeslaat?

Le Divorce meets The Elegance of the Hedgehog in this hilariously entertaining mega-bestseller from France When her chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile farm in Kenya with his mistress, Joséphine Cortès is left in an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of two—confident, beautiful teenage Hortense and shy, babyish Zoé—is forced to maintain a stable family life while making ends meet on her meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, Joséphine’s charismatic sister Iris seems to have it all—a wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a très chic Paris address—but she dreams of bringing meaning back into her life. When Iris charms a famous publisher into offering her a lucrative deal for a twelfth-century romance, she offers her sister a deal of her own: Joséphine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published under Iris’s name. All is well—that is, until the book becomes the literary sensation of the season.

The much-anticipated new novel from the bestselling author of GOOD IN BED and IN HER SHOES

Het levensgeluk van een jong stel komt onder druk te staan wanneer beiden in de ban raken van een mysterieuze vrouw.

Welcome to the dollhouse, baby When Andrea first sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows nothing. She's never heard of the world's most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor, Miranda Priestly. But she's going to be Miranda's assistant, a job millions of girls would die for. A year later, she knows altogether too much: That it's a sacking offence to wear anything lower than a three-inch heel to work. But that there's always a fresh pair of Manolos for you in the accessories cupboard. That Miranda believes Hermes scarves are disposable, and you must keep a lifetime supply on hand at all times. That eight stone is fat. That you can charge cars, manicures, anything at all to the Runway account, but you must never, ever, leave your desk, or let Miranda's coffee get cold. And that at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, when your boyfriend's dumping you because you're always at work, and your best friend's just been arrested, if Miranda phones, you jump. Most of all, Andrea knows that Miranda is a monster who makes Cruella de Vil look like a fluffy bunny. But also that this is her big break, and it's going to be worth it in the end. Isn't it?
