A Boston debutante joins the Appalachian Frontier Nursing Service and saves a wounded moonshiner Two young malcontents burglarize the home of their bourbon-magnate employer, leading to a twist of fate Bourbon with a Splash of Mystery from the Derby Rotten Scoundrels is an anthology that celebrates Kentucky's finest spirit: Bourbon. Ranging from historical adventure to gritty realism, the eighteen crime stories included in this anthology are all fermented in the history and culture of Kentucky bourbon, distilled through the imaginations of our authors. Interwoven with the stories are articles covering the history of bourbon, from Prohibition, moonshining, and medicinal alcohol, to profiles of distilleries and the booming Whiskey Row district in downtown Louisville. Who Are the Derby Rotten Scoundrels? We are an eclectic group of writers (and readers) who get together to share our writing. Our group was formed in 1992, starting as primarily a reading club. Over time we became more focused on writers, especially new writers, and how to help them hone their skills and get published. In 2004, the chapter published its first anthology, Derby Rotten Scoundrels, short stories of murder and crime centered around the Kentucky Derby. Two years later, a second anthology, Low Down and Derby, was published.

Wodehouse, Charles Finch's debut mystery A Beautiful Blue Death introduces a wonderfully appealing gentleman detective in Victorian London who investigates crime as a diversion from his life of leisure. Charles Lenox, Victorian gentleman and armchair explorer, likes nothing more than to relax in his private study with a cup of tea, a roaring fire and a good book. But when his lifelong friend Lady Jane asks for his help, Lenox cannot resist the chance to unravel a mystery. Prudence Smith, one of Jane's former servants, is dead of an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The grand house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prue had dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by the motive for the girl's death. When another body turns up during the London season's most fashionable ball, Lenox must untangle a web of loyalties and animosities. Was it jealousy that killed Prudence Smith? Or was it something else entirely? And can Lenox find the answer before the killer strikes again—this time, disturbingly close to home?
