Book excerpt: 'It is a long time since I have read a debut as impressive as Laura McHugh's The Weight of Blood.

Joan Smith, The Sunday Times People still whisper about Lucy Daneâe(tm)s mother who vanished years ago from the town of Henbane, deep in the Ozark mountains. When one of Lucyâe(tm)s friends is found murdered, Lucy feels haunted by the two lost women: by the mother she never knew, and the friend she couldnâe(tm)t protect. But her search for answers, in a place where secrets are easily concealed, leads her to a chilling discovery. And with this revelation, she must grapple with the meaning of family, the secrets we keep, and the lengths we will go to protect the ones we love.

Book excerpt: The greatest noir romance of all time, Laura won lasting renown as an Academy Award-nominated 1944 film: “an intriguing melodrama. . . . A top-drawer mystery.” (The New York Times) A brutal murder. A tough detective. And a woman who kept men spellbound—even after her death. Laura Hunt was the ideal modern woman: beautiful, elegant, highly ambitious, and utterly mysterious. No man could resist her charms—not even the hardboiled NYPD detective sent to investigate her murder. As this cop probes the mystery of Laura’s death, he finds himself drawn to the mere idea of her. As the circumstances surrounding her death become more intriguing, he comes to a startling realization—he’s in love with a dead woman. But is she even dead? Vera Caspary’s equally haunting novel is remarkable for its stylish, hardboiled writing, its electrifying plot twists, and its darkly complex characters—including a woman who stands as the ultimate femme fatale. Femmes Fatales restores to print the best of women’s writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century. From mystery to hard-boiled noir to taboo lesbian romance, these rediscovered queens of pulp offer subversive perspectives on a turbulent era.

Unfortunately, BOTH of them showed up and now my rigid boss, who didn’t like me to begin with, thinks I’m in a polyamorous relationship. The kicker? She’s proud of me because it turns out she’s in a (secret) poly relationship too. When I try to tell my boss the truth, things don’t go well. Now, to keep my job, I’m faking a relationship with Landry, the happy-go-lucky charmer trying to mask his pain, and Fletcher, my bearded, tattoo artist ex-boyfriend holding a grudge. Soon, I’m creating spreadsheets to keep our facts straight, attending swanky parties at my boss’s (aka my new best friend’s) mansion, and even attending couples therapy. Then things get complicated… Now it’s not just my career on the line, but my heart. Because Landry and Fletcher agreed to fake it, and I’ve fallen in love…with both of them.

Download or read book Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd written by Christine M. Totten and published by Eliot Werner Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What more could there be to know about FDR, given how exhaustively his life has been written about? As it happens, there is more and that focuses on Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd, the queen of her Washington social circle, later FDR's friend and love-and Eleanor's rival, as the title of Christine Totten's work points out. In Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd: Eleanor's Rival, FDR's Other Love, Totten presents a carefully structured case for a deep and lasting but chaste love between Lucy and FDR, against the prevailing view that they were clandestine lovers. Totten's research into the personal memories of the Rutherfurd family and the public holdings of the FDR Library establishes a new rich understanding of Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd--her early life, her education, and her role in the social and political scene in Washington. This work gives Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd her due, as a woman in her own right as well as FDR's valued soul mate and friend.

Gray wants no part of it, but his past life won’t die. When an old friend comes seeking a savior, he faces an agonizing decision. Does he play the role of redeemer, honor a lifetime dedication to friendship and try to save her captured family, or reject her plea that will lead him back into the brutality of the past?

Strong characters, both male and female, are presented in a rugged, historically accurate western setting. Pursuit is a tale of individual heroism and of cruelty. It is both uplifting and achingly moving.
