un fantôme ne vient pas avec un manuel d'instructions. Elle ne sait même pas comment elle est morte. Dans son appartement, elle assiste à son après-vie : sa veillée funèbre, ses proches qui vident son logement, la nouvelle locataire qui prend sa place. Légèreté et introspection profonde se côtoient. Évidemment, Maude n'est pas le seul fantôme en ville ; elle en rencontrera quelques-uns qui partageront avec elle leur histoire et leur sagesse. Maude est morte mais elle découvre la vie pourtant. Est-ce que c'est sa nouvelle destinée de hanter Villeray ?

"For ten years, Yona has been stuck behind a desk as a coordinator for Jungle, a travel company specializing in…
vacation packages to destinations devastated by disaster and climate change. Her work life is uneventful until trouble arises in the form of a predatory colleague. To forestall any disruption of business-as-usual, Jungle makes Yona a proposition: a paid "vacation" to the desert island of Mui. But Yona must pose as a tourist and assess whether Jungle should continue their partnership with the unprofitable destination. Yona travels to the remote island, whose major attraction is an underwhelming sinkhole, a huge disappointment to the customers who've paid a premium. Soon Yona discovers the resort's plan to fabricate a catastrophe in the interest of regaining their good standing with Jungle--and the manager enlists Yona's help. Yona must choose between the callous company to whom she's dedicated her life, or the possibility of a fresh start in a powerful new position. As she begins to understand the cost of the manufactured disaster, Yona realizes that the lives of Mui's citizens are in danger--and so is she." -- Provided by publisher

"Ever been offered a promotion that seems too good to be true? The kind where you snap their arm off…
to accept, then wonder why all your long-serving colleagues look secretly relieved, as if they're off some strange and unpleasant hook? It's the kind of trick that deeply sinister companies like J.W. Wells & Co. pull all the time. Especially with employees who are too busy mooning over the office intern to think about what they're getting into. And it's why, right about now, Paul Carpenter is wishing he'd paid much less attention to the gorgeous Melze, and rather more to a little bit of job description small-print referring to "pest" control."-- From publisher

"There are all kinds of products. The good ones. The bad ones. The ones that stay in the garage moldering…
for years until your garden gnome makes a home out of it. Most are harmless if handled properly, even if they do contain traces of peanuts. But some are not-not the ones that contain traces of magic. Chris Popham wasn't paying enough attention when he talked to his SatNav. Sure, she gave him directions, never talked back to him, and always led him to his next spot on the map with perfect accuracy. She was the best thing in his life. So was it really his fault that he didn't start paying attention when she talked to him' In his defense, that was her job. But when "Take the next right" turned into "Excuse me," that was when the real trouble started. Because sometimes a GPS isn't a GPS-sometimes it's an imprisoned soul trapped inside a metal box that will do anything it can to get free. And some products you just can't return."-- From publisher
