Publisher Description
This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. It’s the summer of 1990 in West Vancouver. Maggie, a 23-year-old nursing school drop-out, has just started a job as a live-in personal assistant to Archibald, a flamboyant, elderly novelist with a quick wit, sharp tongue, and a penchant for nasty practical jokes.
In between picking up his medications and groceries, Maggie desperately tries to hold the unravelling threads of her life together. She’s stuck between the competing attentions of Sam, the young building caretaker, and Michael, the rich, successful novelist with an enigmatic past. At the same time, her seemingly straightforward (albeit aggravating) relationship with Archibald takes a shocking turn. Buried secrets are exposed and ugly truths revealed. Archibald has taken one step too far. Pushed over the edge, Maggie decides to plot revenge against her employer.
Archibald Full Frontal is a hilarious, no-holds-barred story about becoming an adult and finding your feet, by any means necessary.
Despite their progress, humanity wonders, will it be enough? Global warming must be held to the agreed limit of 2.0 degrees Celsius. Ideally, the world must lower it to an ambitious limit of 1.5 degrees. Despite technological advancements and investment in sustainable energy production, radical measures are needed. The growing energy demands of developing countries is countering the progress of the developed nations. As scientists and politicians try to solve this dilemma, some fear that a more immediate danger -- insufficient freshwater -- may overshadow the risk of global warming.
However, an unusual object approaches planet Earth from the far reaches of the solar system. A third candidate for the most dangerous threat impacting humanity's future has appeared. One that in no way stems from humanity's growing energy consumption or ever-increasing population.
When people around her start dying, Macy realizes she's running out of time to find the killer, stop the blackmailer, and protect the family she ran away from - while never getting too close to the wrong man.
Blending mystery, history, true crime and a sassy splash of romance, The Wrong Man is Christine D. LeBlanc's first novel.
