Download or read book The Mystery Woman written by Amanda Quick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second Ladies of Lantern Street novel from Amanda Quick explores the crimes, passions and paranormal secrets of Victorian London. Under the plain gray skirts of Miss Beatrice Lockwood’s gown, a pistol waits at the ready. For Beatrice is a paid companion on a secret mission—and with a secret past—and she must be prepared to fight for her life at any moment. Yet she is thrown oddly off guard by the fierce-looking man who joins her in foiling a crime outside a fancy ball—and then disappears into the shadows, leaving only his card. His name is Joshua Gage, and he claims to know Beatrice’s employers. Beyond that, he is an enigma with a hypnotically calm voice and an ebony-and-steel cane. . . . Joshua, who carries out clandestine investigations for the Crown, is equally intrigued. He has a personal interest in Miss Lockwood, a suspected thief and murderer, not to mention a fraudster who claims to have psychical powers. The quest to discover her whereabouts has pulled him away from his mournful impulses to hurl himself into the sea—and engaged his curiosity about the real Beatrice Lockwood, whose spirit, he suspects, is not as delicate as her face and figure. He does know one thing, though: This flame-haired beauty was present the night Roland Fleming died at the Academy of the Occult. Guilty or not, she is his guide to a trail of blood and blackmail, mesmerism and madness—a path that will lead both of them into the clutches of a killer who calls himself the Bone Man. . . .

Book excerpt: In a small town, everyone is watching ... Secrets, scandal and betrayal in 1950s small town Australia: the stunning new novel from bestseller Belinda Alexandra She had thought Shipwreck Bay was simply a remote town where people were bored senseless with their little lives. Now she saw its virtuous facade hid something darker, more sinister. Rebecca Wood takes the role as postmistress in a sleepy seaside town, desperate for anonymity after a scandal in Sydney. But she is confronted almost at once by a disturbing discovery - her predecessor committed suicide. To add to her worries, her hopes for a quiet life are soon threatened by the attentions of the dashing local doctor, the unsettling presence of a violent whaling captain and a corrupt shire secretary, as well as the watchful eyes of the town's gossips. Yet in spite of herself she is drawn to the enigmatic resident of the house on the clifftop, rumoured to have been a Nazi spy. Against the backdrop of the turbulent sea, Rebecca is soon caught up in the dangerous mysteries that lie behind Shipwreck Bay's respectable net curtains.

They'll also be cheering for main character Rebecca as she struggles against the societal norms of 1950s Australia, fighting to be true to her unconventional self, and to forgive herself - and to perhaps even find happiness.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mystery or the Lady of the Casino Eternal love is not a dull symposer, It is a feast that in the soul is wrought, It is divine, how can it be a loser, Living supremely in sweet silent thought; It laughs to scorn the laws of petrifaction, And ever will with failing time prevail. The sentient gives but little satisfaction, But this eternal thing will never fail; I wonder if the eyes that measure time Are looking on while I indite this rhyme. The dewdrops on the rose appear newborn At early dawn, although they fade away. They are ambassadors to greet the morn That speak of love, and live in memory; And so I write of love - a maiden fair, A handsome youth, intelligent and wise She had the caste and the patrician air And he had ways that won the maiden's eyes So well they met, so well they stood together Like golden links you would not wish to sever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moreton Mystery Certainly the girl in the next room had not! The eve ning before he had envied her, or, rather, he had en vied the man who had joined her. He had seen her; the man he had not seen. Parker had passed her door just as she was entering it, preceded by a bell-boy bear ing a single suit-case. She had turned to close her door, flinging back, as she turned, the long automobile veil she was wearing, and he had seen her face dis tinctly, an imperfect oval, a brow too wide and low to complete the oval of check and Chin; dominant eyes the color of sea-water on a cold gray day and heavily fringed with black; straight determined brows; nose faintly piquant; a voluptuous mouth; dusky satin-so ft skin. It was a contradictory face and arresting, ice cold eyes, warm mouth, and pomegranate tinting. She was not tall, below the usual woman's height, slim and well formed - and young, certainly not over twenty two. F or a moment, before the door closed on her, her eyes had met his fully, and coldly, and Parker had ex perienced an instant interest. Was it possible that she was alone in this hotel overrun with officers, men of all descriptions and many nationalities, and, in addi tion to them, the civilians who were coming and going to Washington? Scarcely the place for a strikingly beautiful young girl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Arsenic and Old Puzzles written by Parnell Hall and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2013-01-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Puzzle Lady embarks on another adventure involving one classic movie and featuring new puzzles by Will Shortz When an elderly boarder at a Bakerhaven bed-and-breakfast drops dead during afternoon tea, there's nothing particularly suspicious about it—except for the Sudoku in his jacket pocket. But when a second body turns up in the window seat and an autopsy shows both men were poisoned with elderberry wine, the Puzzle Lady suspects she's dealing with a cold-blooded killer who for some reason is copying the Cary Grant movie Arsenic and Old Lace, in which two old ladies who run a boarding house poison elderly widowers and bury them in the basement. More murders, more puzzles, and a grave dug in the cellar seem to cement the theory. Ordinarily, Cora would eat a case like this for breakfast, but for once she can't figure it out. And she's not sure if the clues don't add up, or if the much-married Puzzle Lady is just distracted by being involved in her first romantic entanglement in years. Arsenic and Old Puzzles is filled with laughs, mayhem, and fun new puzzles by Will Shortz. Mystery and puzzle fans will find much to enjoy in this latest treat from Parnell Hall.
