Àííîòàöèÿ: Jess needs a fresh start. She's broke and alone, and she's just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn't sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn't say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up — to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? — he's not there. The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother's situation, and the more questions she has. Ben's neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it's starting to look like it's Ben's future that's in question. The socialite — The nice guy — The alcoholic — The girl on the verge — The concierge. Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they're not telling.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The bride — the plus one — the best man — the wedding planner — the bridesmaid — the body. On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It—s a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride—s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. And then someone turns up dead. Who didn—t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?

Àííîòàöèÿ: Lesson-by-lesson support for the core lessons of the Student's Book, grammar check exercises for each grammar file, and a guided writing syllabus. English File gives students a real sense of achievement and progress. It offers clear learning objectives, an organized approach to revision and reference work, and a fully integrated home-study programme.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The wonderful anthology of verse and prose, short stories, reminiscences and diary entries, ranging from the traditional to the subversive, the whimsical to the sinister, the ironic to the tragic. Exquisitely illustrated with black and white drawings from many periods, The Christmas Reader is a perfect source-book for reading aloud to family and friends.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Advanced learners need a grammar practice that refines and extends the knowledge they already have. Longman Advanced Learners' Grammar is designed specifically to do this. Grammar is clear and easy to understand with comprehensive explanations that highlight common errors and areas of potential confusion. Students gain confidence to use the language through lots of natural examples and practice to help them acquire natural language. Longman Advanced Learner's Grammaris a valuable resource for all upper-level students, especially those preparing for exams like Cambridge ESOL CAE and CPE. Diagnostic testing shows students exactly where they need to focus, while the CAE/CPE task types familiarise students with the format of the exams
