Summary

For Mohammed Amiri, recently graduated as a Doctor of Physics, his return home from France in 1938 should be a time of limitless promise – wanting only an enduring love to make it complete. But when Mohammed and Shamsi are brought together, the future arrives, still-born, in a match of two hearts that can never unite. 
In 2009 no one answers the door of a flat in an apartment block in Fifth  Avenue, off Ghandi Street, from this one event, Lily Monadjemi crafts a tale of love and darkness of the soul that alternates between crime thriller and the tragedy, the consequences of when The Scent of Love is lost.

    🧵 Quilt shop owner and fabric cutter Cora Cutwell is hosting a fat quarter frenzy sale when the store's most demanding customer—a notorious fabric hoarder—is found dead in her shop, buried under a collapsed display of premium fat quarters. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Cora notices the fabric bolts have been deliberately cut to weaken the display and the victim's purchase history shows suspicious patterns of fabric accumulation. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community in an uproar, Cora must measure up as an investigator. Assisted by her cutting team and the handsome textile engineer analyzing fabric stress points, Cora uncovers a scheme involving short-measured fabric, counterfeit designer prints, and a black market for stolen quilt shop inventory. From suspicious cutting patterns that reveal intentional waste to selvage edges that don't match manufacturer specifications, every quarter yard tells a story. But when Cora discovers the victim was systematically reselling stolen fat quarters online at inflated prices, she realizes the killer is protecting small quilt shops from a fabric fencing operation. With the annual quilt show approaching and the real thief still cutting corners, Cora must square away the evidence before her own business gets permanently cut from the bolt.

    A major New Zealand TV show - Dark City: The Cleaner
     
    An international bestseller and one of the top-selling novels in New Zealand's history, Paul Cleave's dark thriller is a brilliant, bloody masterpiece.
     
    Joe is in control of everything in his simple life - both his day job as a janitor for the police department and his "night work." He isn't bothered by the daily news reports of the Christchurch Carver, who, they say, has murdered seven women. Joe knows, though, that the Carver killed only six. He knows that for a fact, and he's determined to find the copycat. He'll punish him for the one, then frame him for the other six. It's the perfect plan because he already knows he can outwit the police.
     
    All he needs now is to take care of all the women who keep getting in his way, including his odd, overprotective mother and Sally, the maintenance worker who sees him as a replacement for her dead brother. Then there's the mysterious Melissa, the only woman to have ever understood him, but whose fantasies of blackmail and torture don't have a place in Joe's investigation.
