"Mirror Dead" is a thoroughly contemporary novel which demonstrates the rude health of the ghost story at the beginning of the twenty-first century. When Simon falls for fairytale-obsessed Rose, he sees a chance to move on from his girlfriend's death the year before. But can he trust Gray, the cross-dressing ghost of his twin brother, who shares his body and sees Rose as lunch? They set out to infiltrate her life, but soon find that they have bitten off more than either of them can chew. Rose has thorns. Her psycho ex is one of them.

Sir Gervase Chevenix-Gore suspects he is the victim of fraud and contacts Hercule Poirot. The host's failure to answer to the dinner gong leads to the discovery of his body in the study. A gun, a shattered mirror - the obvious inference is suicide until Poirot begins his investigation... Hugh Fraser, known to millions as Captain Hastings in the Poirot productions on television, gives a first-class performance.

Clint needs to sell his car. It's so boring and uninspiring that every time his girlfriend sees him pull up in it, her libido drops right through the floor. He lists it for sale, and someone calls, asking to take a test drive, but when they come back drenched in sweat and scared to death, and literally run as fast as they can to get away from his car, Clint knows something is wrong. What is it? Could his car be haunted?

In this audiobook, Richard Cohen reveals how professional historians and other equally significant witnesses (such as the writers of the Bible, major novelists, dramatists, journalists and political propagandists) influence what become the accepted records of human experience. Is there, he asks, even such a thing as 'objective' history? The depth of Cohen's inquiry and the delight he takes in his subjects includes the practitioners of what he calls 'bad history,' those thieves of history who twist reality to glorify themselves and conceal their or their country's behaviour.
