Classics and other tales rhat are beinf resold but with a nystery/thriller slant.

None of the characters in these books do themselves any favors in being the heroes of their own stories. Some may be more likable than others, but they all are students in the art of self sabotage. Featuring hubris, obsession, greed, apathy, vanity, addiction, power & fame, or just plain old psychopathy. Some are humorous and some are decidedly not and some have a happy endings and some are tragic through and through. Either way, you’re in for a fascinating ride. Recommendations encouraged!

All you wanted was a lovely hiking trip with your beloved wife. Even a dull day of walking is a hoot with her, she always has a joke ready!
