Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Château: A Frances Yates Mystery By: Marjorie G. Jones “Quirky, erudite and witty, In the Chateau follows the dastardly – and sometimes sexy – doings of professional plagiarists in the shadow of a fascinating feminist conference examining women’s spirituality in centuries gone by. Marjorie Jones here offers a stimulating ode to Quebec City and French Canada and provides an atmospheric narrative as rich and delicious as a serving of Québec’s famous poutine.” - Stephen O’Shea, author The Perfect Heresy “London, Mexico City, Philadelphia, and now in Québec City – with In the Chateau we renew our acquaintance with the indomitable Dame Frances Yates and her cadre of fellow amateur detectives. And again we encounter a love of books, historical and feminist religious insights, architectural wonders, mouth-watering food, and last but not least: murder most foul. This book, as are the others in the series, is a delight for armchair travelers with a penchant for the darker side of academia. PS: Graduate students beware of the perils of plagiarism.” - Maria Enrico, BMCC / City University of New York When renowned British historian Dame Frances Yates is invited to deliver a talk regarding the Hermetic Tradition at a conference of women religious of the Americas at the historic Ursuline Convent in Québec, she uncovers a ring of plagiarists thriving in the local institutions of higher learning. Once again, during her visit, Dame Frances savors culinary delights and admires historic sites, illustrating the complex history of Canada.
