Download or read book High Heels and Homicide written by Kasey Michaels and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When mystery author Maggie Kelly pops across the pond for a movie shoot--accompanied by her once-fictional, now all-too-real (not to mention sexy) hero, Alexandre, Viscount Saint Just--she's in for a jolly good time. We are not amused ... Don't get me wrong--there was plenty to laugh about when we first arrived in Merry Olde England to watch one of my novels being shot as a TV movie. Alex was delighted with the location (a seventeenth-century manor house), but horrified with the surfer-dude mimbo playing him. I, personally, found the situation hilarious ... until the scriptwriter showed up. Dead. Lights, camera ... action! No, not that kind of action. Hmmmm ... on second thought ... Okay, so things are suddenly getting hot and heavy between Alex and me--and our timing is atrocious as usual, what with the murder and mayhem. Suspects? Don't get me started. There's Mr. Contemptuous Director, Ms. Man-Crazy Production Assistant, Mr. Fancy Pants English Actor, Ms. Diva Leading Lady, and ... yours truly. Yep, I was seen arguing with the victim right before his unfortunate demise, so I am, as the Brits would say, in a bit of a pickle.

Download or read book Haughty Eyes Alibis written by VJ Dunn and published by HEA Publishing. This book was released on with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Murder, She Wrote and The Golden Girls had mashed together, what would you get? MEET MADDIE AND MAGGIE! Christian author VJ Dunn brings you two well-seasoned ladies who couldn’t be any different if they’d come from opposing planets. The stories are full of fun, friendship, faith and just a smidge of fear! When Wally Wonka—my best fur friend—found a body in the woods near our church, I thought it was a case of a tourist who’d partied too hard. After all, that happened a lot in our sleepy little town during tourist season, though they usually don’t end up dead under a tree. Or dead at all. But when it became clear the woman had been murdered and it's obvious Jonathan Donovan, our local police detective, is utterly incompetent (I speak from authority, since I used to babysit the brat), Maggie and I decide to take matters in hand and do a little investigating of our own. After all, we’ve watched a lot of detective shows. How hard could crime solving be? Our confidence is shattered, though, when another woman turns up dead. The police don't think the deaths are related, but they never noticed what I had... both women had a strange mark on the bottom of their foot. Is it possible our sweet little seaside town might have welcomed a serial killer into its midst? The thought is terrifying, to say the least. But what was worse… It looked like Maggie was next in line. Join Maggie and Maddie as they stumble their way through their first investigation in Haughty Eyes & Alibis! Missteps, misdirection and misleading abound, but with Maddie’s muleheaded stubbornness—and Maggie’s southern charm—will the ladies find their investigative mojo and stop the killer?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perfect for readers of The Secret Life of Bees and The Help, a perceptive and searing look at Apartheid-era South Africa, told through one unique family brought together by tragedy. Life under Apartheid has created a secure future for Robin Conrad, a ten-year-old white girl living with her parents in 1970s Johannesburg. In the same nation but worlds apart, Beauty Mbali, a Xhosa woman in a rural village in the Bantu homeland of the Transkei, struggles to raise her children alone after her husband's death. Both lives have been built upon the division of race, and their meeting should never have occurred...until the Soweto Uprising, in which a protest by black students ignites racial conflict, alters the fault lines on which their society is built, and shatters their worlds when Robin’s parents are left dead and Beauty’s daughter goes missing. After Robin is sent to live with her loving but irresponsible aunt, Beauty is hired to care for Robin while continuing the search for her daughter. In Beauty, Robin finds the security and family that she craves, and the two forge an inextricable bond through their deep personal losses. But Robin knows that if Beauty finds her daughter, Robin could lose her new caretaker forever, so she makes a desperate decision with devastating consequences. Her quest to make amends and find redemption is a journey of self-discovery in which she learns the harsh truths of the society that once promised her protection. Told through Beauty and Robin's alternating perspectives, the interwoven narratives create a rich and complex tapestry of the emotions and tensions at the heart of Apartheid-era South Africa. Hum If You Don’t Know the Words is a beautifully rendered look at loss, racism, and the creation of family.
