| business casual dark jeans: I Think I Was Murdered Colleen Coble, Rick Acker, 2024-11-12 It's a high-octane thriller with the grounding touches of Katrina's Norwegian heritage, the hygge of North Haven, and a very sweet romance between two likable, vulnerable people. Romantic suspense comfort food--just like waffles with cloudberry cream. --KIRKUS This timely, high-concept novel delves into the impact of AI on a grieving widow who uses a chatbot to talk to her dead husband. What she never expects is the response when she asks it to tell her something she doesn't know: I think I was murdered. Reading a novel from bestselling authors Colleen Coble and Rick Acker feels akin to watching a BBC mystery series: by the end of the first scene you can relax, knowing you're in the capable hands of a story that will have a complex puzzle, character-driven plot, and satisfying reveal. Just a year ago, Katrina Berg was at the pinnacle of her career. She was a rising star in the AI chatbot start-up everyone was talking about, married with an adoring husband, and had more money than she knew how to spend. Then her world combusted. Her husband, Jason, was killed in a fiery car crash. Her CEO was indicted, and, as the company's legal counsel, Katrina faces tough questions as the Feds take over and lock her out of her office. The final blow is the passing of her beloved grandmother. Her most prized possession is the beta prototype for a new, ultra-sophisticated chatbot loaded onto her phone. The contents of Jason's email, social media backups, pictures, and every bit of data she could find were loaded into the bot, and Katrina has talked to him every day for the past six months. She has been amazed at how well it works. Even the syntax and words the bot uses sound like Jason. Sometimes, she imagines he isn't really dead and is right there beside her. She knows it's slowing her grief recovery, but she can't stop pretending. On a particularly bad day, she taps out: Tell me something I don't know. The cursor blinks for several moments and seems frozen before the reply flashes quickly onto the screen: I think I was murdered. Distraught, Katrina returns to her cozy Norwegian-flavored hometown in the Northern California redwoods and enlists the help of Seb Wallace, local restaurateur and longtime acquaintance, to try to parse out the truth of what really happened. They must navigate the complicated paths of grief, family dynamics, and second chances, as well as the complex questions of how much control technology has. And staying alive long enough to do that is far more difficult than either of them dreamed. Bestselling authors Coble and Acker deftly combine a high-concept plot with gripping intrigue and closed-door romance in I Think I Was Murdered. Don't miss it! This fast-paced thriller incorporating today's headline news along with compelling family drama proves that the Coble-Acker partnership (What We Hide) will continue to produce hits. Recommend to fans of psychological thrillers such as Lies We Believe by Lisa Harris and Criss Cross by C.C. Warrens. --Library Journal Looking for more from these authors? What We Hide (Tupelo Grove, #1) is also available! |

| business casual dark jeans: The Professor Is In Karen Kelsky, 2015-08-04 The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more. |

| business casual dark jeans: Daisy: Not Your Average Super-sleuth! Book 1, The Root of all Evil R T Green, 2023-06-26 An innocent rosebush, uprooted in the middle of the night, reveals a horrific secret. Determined to bring those responsible to justice, Daisy embarks on a dangerous trail that grows darker and darker with each unexpected turn. Essentially-English, almost-certainly quirky, and definitely a little crazy, come and meet our Norfolk-based R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, and find out why she’s such a hit with readers of all ages. “One of the best cozy mysteries I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” Retirement to a sleepy East-Anglian village doesn't go quite as Daisy hoped, after a seemingly- insignificant event triggers something very significant indeed. A mystery to solve is the last thing she expects to stumble across in a sleepy village a few miles from Kings Lynn in Norfolk. To her surprise she’s adapted to country life quite well, although she rather unkindly refers to the beautiful village of Great Wiltingham as the ‘place people go to wilt’. According to Daisy, nothing is ever quite what it seems. In her case, that’s the truest thing ever spoken. She’s nothing like a pensioner is supposed to be. It could be something to do with the career she had before retiring… or perhaps because she wishes she’d never had to leave it behind at all. For some strange reason, trouble seems to follow her around. It’s been a peaceful twelve months settling into village life, but that’s about to come to an abrupt end... ‘The Root of all Evil’ is the first book in the long-running Daisy Morrow series. Check out the entire series on the new rtgreen website. While you’re there, have a look at our 1920’s historical series too, ‘The Sandie Shaw Mysteries’. Take a break from the world around you, just for a while. Relax with a smile (or a cringe) and a truly original story. Enjoy! |
