Download or read book The Calleshire Chronicles Volume Two written by Catherine Aird and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A set of intriguing British whodunits featuring Detective Inspector Sloan—from a CWA Diamond Dagger winner and “most ingenious” author (The New Yorker). Over the course of twenty-four crime novels set in the fictional County of Calleshire, England, and featuring the sleuthing team of shrewd Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan and his less-than-shrewd sidekick, Detective Constable William Crosby, award-winning author Catherine Aird maintained the perfect balance between cozy village mystery and police procedural. These three entertaining crime novels offer “the very best in British mystery” (The New Yorker). A Late Phoenix: In the quaint Victorian town of Berebury, England, a skeleton has been found in the crater of a World War II bomb site. But this corpse is no buried casualty of the Blitz. The cause of death, Detective Inspector Sloan discovers, is a bullet to the spine. His Burial Too: Detective Inspector Sloan puzzles over an industrialist crushed under the rubble of an old Saxon church tower. With no eyewitnesses and little evidence, the policeman doesn’t seem to have a prayer of solving the case. And then a second body turns up. Slight Mourning: Twelve friends sit down for supper at Strontfield Park—but only eleven survive the evening. After dinner, the host offers to drive one of his guests home, only to die in a violent accident. His autopsy shows that he ingested enough barbiturates to kill a horse, and now the guest list is Sloan’s roster of suspects.

Download or read book County Chronicles Volume II written by Ceane O'Hanlon-Lincoln and published by . This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: County Chronicles Volume II, a Vivid Collection of Pennsylvania Histories, like the first volume in this ongoing series, is meticulously researched and written in conversational style. But rather than its chapters being limited to a section of the state, this second volume, as will all future volumes in this compelling series, encompasses the entire state of Pennsylvania. The premier volume has thus far garnered three prestigious awards, the Athena Award, as well as Special Recognition Awards from both the Pennsylvania House and Senate. Volume II promises to reveal those same award-winning talents and skill previously demonstrated by its author. Within the chronicles in this volume, O?Hanlon-Lincoln takes us back to the inventive days of Ben Franklin in Philadelphia, as well as to the perilous frontier with Indian captives near Bedford and Gettysburg. She captures the heroism of "Captain Molly" Corbin, who fired her dead husband?s cannon during the Revolutionary War, and the untold heroics of the WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) during WWII. In her unique narrative style, the author recounts the volatile summer of 1892 in Homestead and writes with passion of the "infamous" Irish coal miners, the Molly Maguires. She relates the romantic tale of Mrs. Katherine Soffel, who joined the Biddle Boys in their flight from the Allegheny County Prison to a shoot-out in Butler County. She portrays the bittersweet life of pilot Charles Lindbergh, as well as the inspiring lives of Pennsylvania luminaries-- actor and pilot Jimmy Stewart, greatest-athlete-of-the-twentieth-century Jim Thorpe, Eastern frontier artist extraordinaire Robert Griffing, Pulitzer-prize-winning author David McCullough, as well as tycoons Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon. The author delineates the destruction of Hanna?s Town near present-day Greensburg and the horrors of the catastrophic Johnstown floods. She tells the stories of the Overholt Gristmill and Distillery in West Overton and of three historic churches located in Philadelphia and Uniontown. With her great gift for bringing history alive, O?Hanlon-Lincoln, as she did in the premier volume, has even included a few chilling tales of Pennsylvania?s haunted sites. You will be amazed to discover what "Firsts" Pennsylvania has contributed to our nation?s history. In this book, too, you?ll find a wealth of information that will guide you to and about those Pennsylvania historical sites discussed within its pages. We feel certain that by the conclusion of this second volume, those of you who live in Pennsylvania will see home with new eyes, to wit with appreciation and admiration; and those readers from afar will have become cognizant of a "magical land," once known as "Penn?s Woods." Limited to 1,000 copies, each book is numbered.

Download or read book The Fryeburg Chronicles Book II written by June O'Donal and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fryeburg Chronicles: A Secret and A Promise After reading Book I of June O'Donal's Fryeburg Chronicles historical fiction series, I must say that I was quite eager to begin Book Two. In her remarkably well-researched work, O'Donal takes us to a simpler yet still well-established Fryeburg of 220 years ago, a time when the village was still small and when Fryeburg Academy began. Today's Academy hardly resembles the single building that sprang from that vibrant edge-of-the-wilderness community of 1792, and yet the ideals of learning and excellence are as alive today as they were then. People and settings jump from the page and take on a life of their own that magically intertwines with who we are today and how we imagine those who lived long before us. I can envision the sounds of children swimming and fishing in the river and clamoring up the school steps even as the dust from the road floats up into the leaves of the elms and maples along Main Street. I can hear the sounds of the farmyard and the voices of the families moving about their days. I can feel the immense joy and crushing sadness that our forebears often experienced and which were never far from reach. Thank you, June, for bringing our roots to life. Timothy G. Scott Director of Development Fryeburg Academy One man...one secret. Two slaves...two choices. Three brothers...one promise. Should one break man's law to obey God? This is the question the Miller family must answer for themselves in this family-friendly, historical novel.

Download or read book Mountain Republic written by Philippa Harrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 867 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An affectionate but meticulously researched history of one of the most beautiful and best-loved corners of England – Crosthwaite Parish, nestling deep within the mountains and valleys of the Lake District. 'A unique contribution to English history' Hunter Davies 'A delightful, refreshingly written book, attentive to social detail and telling the only story that matters – history' Simon Jenkins 'A wonderful book' Margaret Drabble 'A completely fresh perspective on the Lakes and Lake Poets... I hugely enjoyed it' Andrew Marr Bounded by the peaks of Scafell, Skiddaw and Helvellyn, and embracing such well-known landmarks as Borrowdale, Derwentwater and Keswick, it lies within the heart of the Lake Poets' landscape and its rugged terrain excites passion in all those who know it. The Parish also boasts a remarkable history. Its 90 square miles were governed, from medieval times, by eighteen annually chosen 'customary tenants'; ancestors of the people who later prompted Wordsworth's portrayal of the area as 'a perfect Republic of Shepherds and agriculturalists'. His fellow poet Robert Southey lived within the Parish for forty years, was an active parishioner and rests in St Kentigern's churchyard. Here he is given his rightful position as a Lake Poet. In the nineteenth century, the Victorian state killed off the old parish system, sweeping away the egalitarian rule of the Eighteen Men. But a degree of redemption was at hand. Canon Rawnsley, vicar of Crosthwaite from 1883, pledged to defend the Lake District for future generations. So the Parish was at the heart of the creation of the National Trust and blazed a trail for a wider movement to preserve the English landscape. Writing with a historian's rigour and bearing aloft the banner of the Lake District statesmen, Philippa Harrison has produced a magisterial and fascinating record of a parish with a unique social, cultural and aesthetic resonance in English history.
