Book excerpt: In the agricultural depths of Gloucestershire, where one town and four villages called Sodbury are located, mysterious happenings occur. A peculiar little metal cross is found by the wayside, and revolutionary events affect the lives of everyone whose hand it comes into. For example, the well-known atheist, Aaron Colquhoun, discusses the cross disrespectfully at his peril, and poor Ruby Simmons believes her possession of the cross has given her a second chance. The question is whether all the changes for the better or the worse are mere coincidences, or manifestations of the supernatural.

Book excerpt: Famed crime solver Dr. Gideon Fell attends a housewarming party in the English countryside, but a ghost spoils the fun in Golden Age mystery master John Dickson Carr’s stylish, baffling mystery novel The house is called Longwood, and its history is wet with blood. It is closed up for good in 1920, when a massive chandelier falls, crushing an eighty-year-old butler. Oddly enough, the old chandelier was sturdy, and there was no way it could have fallen unless the butler leapt and swung on it. Was he mad? Suicidal? Or was he being pursued by something from beyond the grave? Seventeen years later, Longwood is purchased by Martin Clarke, a rakish young man with a taste for the supernatural. He invites his friends for a paranormal housewarming, but it is not long before the festivities turn gruesome. Chairs fly, guns fire on their own, and a mysterious fire threatens to engulf the whole mansion in flames. Clarke and his guests came for a ghost hunt—but could it be that the ghost is hunting them?

Download or read book Ancient Crosses of the Three Choirs Counties written by Marion Freeman and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crosses are a quintessential part of the English countryside. Whether standing proud in the village market place or hidden beneath ivy in a forgotten corner of the churchyard, each has its own story to tell. Many of these crosses have ancient origins, dating back to a time when wandering preachers were making the push to convert a wary pagan population, whilst others are far more modern, often serving as memorials to the dead of the two world wars. Many were disfigured by the fervent Puritanism of the Commonwealth period, whilst others have been rebuilt and redesigned to such an extent that they no longer resemble a traditional cross at all. The countryside cross is also more than just a religious symbol; many act as signposts, boundary markers or meeting places. Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, often known as the ' Three Choirs Counties', are blessed with a plethora of these crosses. Here, Marion Freeman provides the reader with a wealth of information, drawn from years of in-depth research and visits to all of the sites listed. Also included is a gazetteer section explaining the location and brief history of the crosses in each region; a map reference is given to help the reader seek out these intriguing monuments for themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you could ever want in a Golden Age of Detective Fiction novel. — Booklist Also known by its US title The Problem of the Green Capsule, this classic novel is widely regarded as one of John Dickson Carr's masterpieces and remains among the greatest impossible crime mysteries of all time. A sinister case of deadly poisoned chocolates from Sodbury Cross's high street shop haunts the group of friends and relatives assembled at Bellegarde, among the orchards of 'peach-fancier' Marcus Chesney. To prove a point about how the sweets could have been poisoned under the nose of the shopkeeper, Chesney stages an elaborate memory game to test whether any of his guests can see beyond their 'black spectacles'; that is, to see the truth without assumptions as witnesses. During the test – which is also being filmed – Chesney is murdered by his accomplice, dressed head to toe in an 'invisible man' disguise. The keen wits of Dr, Gideon Fell are called for to crack this brazen and bizarre murder committed in full view of an audience.
