Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mia Murphy's friends have dubbed her the Corpse Whisperer…and life is about to prove them right. Mia, Hattie, and Lucy are off to a posh island resort for a much-needed girls trip to coastal Maine. Sun, fun, margaritas, and a birthday party are their only plans…until they discover Hattie's cousin with a corpse in her hot tub and the cops on her deck. With her monogrammed knitting needles lodged in his chest, Hattie's cousin is the primary suspect. But who lets a widowed sassy senior spend her birthday in jail? Not Mia and her pals. As Mia, Hattie, and Lucy investigate behind-the-scenes shenanigans at the VIP resort, stakes skyrocket when they link the victim to Mia's missing mom. With the body count rising, they plunge into a high-octane race involving an unusual boat captain, haunted caves, secret identities, and pirate booty. To complicate matters, Mia's former FBI handler is trying to call the shots, and Bass Derby's eccentric mystery writer arrives with Mia's cranky cat and an agenda. Mia must prove she's no corpse whisperer, cement her claim that she'll never date again, and engage in possibly criminal tactics to keep her beloved trio of trouble from becoming the next victims. It's about to get outrageous, dangerous, and downright personal. Chock full of twists, hilarity, and warmth, Triple Trouble is a fast-paced whodunnit with addictive banter, riotous suspense, and an irresistibly unapologetic cat. "This book is pure genius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Rowe, the irreverent, underappreciated, and alarmingly talented Mia Murphy risks it all to do the right thing…even if it means doing the wrong thing. A high-octane, feel-good romp starring women you'll wish were your best friends, an inconveniently attractive cop, a posse of gray-haired quilters with a fondness for margaritas, and an eccentric town with more secrets than Mia's con artist mom. "An enjoyable and suspenseful whodunit with a smart, captivating hero." ~Kirkus Reviews All Mia Murphy wants is an ordinary, law-abiding life. Accidentally marrying a drug kingpin? Easily fixed with an anonymous tip to the FBI…which resulted in a not-so-voluntary, surprisingly stressful stint as an undercover spy against him. But with her ex finally in prison and assassins in her rearview mirror, Mia is off to Diamond Lake in Bass Derby, Maine with King Tut, her rescue (aka purloined) cat, to start over. Upon arrival, Mia quickly finds a couple of soulmates in a blue-haired "I'll show you what old is" café owner and a baton-twirling mail carrier. Life is headed in the right direction...until the trio stumbles across a dead body during a slightly illegal but well-intentioned home invasion. When one of her new besties is arrested for the murder, Mia is the only one with the skills to ferret out the real killer…but she can't afford to resurrect her morally flexible past. Can Mia keep her life on the straight and narrow with so much at stake? Or will a homicidal, jet-skiing moose, a dead Mr. January firefighter, and an overzealous mayor take them all down? Mia has to step up, or she'll lose her chance for the life she's always wanted and the friends she's never had. Even worse, she might wind up dead… "A laugh-out-loud, nail-biting, page-turning read." ~Riding Reviewer "Double Twist is a delightfully witty, fast paced whodunit with incredibly likeable characters whose hair-raising schemes trying to solve a murder to prove their friend innocent are priceless." Lisa's Cubby, Five Stars "OMG, I love Mia Murphy…What a fun-loving, non-stop, action-packed whodunit that I could not put down." ~ Dru's Book Musings "The book is so funny (I mean SO funny!)…the twists and turns they get into, there's no predicting it!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top Notch is the unpredictably fun and assassin-worthy whodunit starring the endearing and scrappy Mia Murphy and her purloined cat, back in action after the surprise bestseller Double Twist thrust them into the spotlight. No one liked celebrity portrait artist and sexy-times rich recluse Rutherford Callahan, but who would want to kill him? Certainly not Hattie Lawless, the blue-haired senior whose massive nude portrait is currently hanging in the dead guy's studio… But the cops disagree, and so does the evidence. Mia isn't about to let her new bestie spend her golden years behind bars, so once again, she must break her law-abiding promise to herself and get back in the game, dusting off long-buried skills from her criminal childhood. With bodies piling up and threats coming from all directions, Mia and her pals are soon ankle-deep in corpses, diamonds, pickpocketing schemes, celebrity wedding drama, and stolen cinnamon bun recipes. And when it looks like an enemy from Mia's past has targeted her, the stakes suddenly become much more personal. Not even her smoldering FBI handler or an irritatingly attractive bodyguard cop can keep Mia safe if she doesn't play by the rules. And since Mia and rules don't go together…well…things are about to get dangerous. And deadly. And cinnamon-bun delicious. "Mia Murphy is my new favorite character!

She has moved to a house on the edge of the Sandringham estate, near the royal family, and wants to invite Darcy and his new bride for Christmas. Aunt Ermintrude hints that the queen would like Georgie nearby. Georgie had not known that Aunt Ermintrude was a former lady-in-waiting and close confidante of her royal highness. The letter is therefore almost a royal request, so Georgie, Darcy, and their Christmas guests: Mummy, Grandad, Fig, and Binky all head to Sandringham.

There have been a couple of strange accidents at the estate recently. Two gentlemen of the royal household have died in mysterious circumstances and another has been shot by mistake during a hunt.

Download or read book Foreign Practices written by Sasha Mullally and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the CBC organized a national contest to identify the greatest Canadian of all time, few were surprised when the father of Medicare, Tommy Douglas, won by a large margin: Medicare is central to Canadian identity. Yet focusing on Douglas and his fight for social justice obscures other important aspects of the construction of Canada's national health insurance - especially its longstanding dependence on immigrant doctors. Foreign Practices reconsiders the early history of Medicare through the stories of foreign-trained doctors who entered the country in the three decades after the Second World War. By making strategic use of oral history, analyzing contemporary medical debates, and reconstructing doctors' life histories, Sasha Mullally and David Wright demonstrate that foreign doctors arrived by the hundreds at a pivotal moment for health care services. Just as Medicare was launched, Canada began to prioritize "highly skilled manpower" when admitting newcomers, a novel policy that drew thousands of professionals from around the world. Doctors from India and Iran, Haiti and Hong Kong, and Romania and the Republic of South Africa would fundamentally transform the medical landscape of the country. Charting the fascinating history of physician immigration to Canada, and the ethical debates it provoked, Foreign Practices places the Canadian experience within a wider context of global migration after the Second World War.
