Book excerpt: Even after twenty years, the tight-knit Ontario community of Long Point County remains haunted by the tragic Lake Erie shipwreck that took place just off its coast in 1852. Several of its survivors still live among them even now, having been adopted into local families after washing ashore. Even the sunken wreckage of the ship itself had changed lives, and not for the better—most notably that of one of its most promising young men, drawn by the dangerous lure of its rumoured treasures. Still, no one in town had been more affected by the tragedy than local historian Becky McCormack. She’d dedicated the past two decades of her life to intensive research in the hopes of uncovering, at last, the identities of each person who’d been lost on that horrible day and ensuring that none would remain unmourned or forgotten, whether buried namelessly in the local cemetery or lost to Lake Erie’s unforgiving waters. No longer young by anybody’s standards, and with dementia beginning to sink its claws into her once razor-sharp mind, Becky’s family and friends can now only hope that she’ll finish her life’s work before it’s too late, attaining the closure and peace she’s sought on behalf of others for so long. And in doing so ... finally reclaim her own.

Book excerpt: One of England's largest historic landed estates is to be sold. Thousands of acres of farmland, hundreds of cottages and priceless paintings and treasures from within the stately home are up for sale. James Aden, in his mid-thirties, is the land agent for the late Sir Charles Buckley, eighth baronet, and his son, Sir Sebastian, ninth baronet, who owns the breath-taking Frampton Hall Estate in Suffolk. When Sebastian and Serena, his beautiful wife, learn they are unable to have children they see no point in keeping their inherited estate. So they set up a charity to benefit from the assets. Nonetheless, this conflicts with the family trustees who were selected by Sir Charles to ensure its posterity. Tony Stoke, the only serious potential buyer, made his fortune manufacturing lavatory paper. His father had been a bus driver for London Transport and the family's social class is world's away from the upper-class Buckleys. James is tasked with masterminding the sale while continuing the daily management of the extraordinary array of tenants in the estate's cottages and farms in the absence of any interest from Sebastian. Will the sale proceed? Will Tony Stoke become Lord of the Manor and pursue a gracious aristocratic lifestyle? Or will the estate dwellers, the art industry experts, and the trustees put a stop to this madness before it begins? Find out this and so much more in this humorous tale which depicts an aristocratic, eccentric lifestyle not dissimilar to PG Wodehouse's characters of a bygone age.

Book excerpt: IN THE BEGINNING ... In l959 we received our ten-day old son, Trenton. I gave him the middle name of Doyle. David's middle name was Moyle, his mother's maiden name. I came up with the idea of using the D from David in place of the M. He became Trenton Doyle, TD for short. In 1961 our two-week old daughter Valerie arrived. My dearest friend Bea's husband named Valerie after a friend in his youth that he greatly ad-mired, Valerie Halliburton, the sister of Richard Halliburton. Uncle Ralph, as we referred to him, did not live to see Valerie or to be her Godfather. He died one morning working in his rose garden. She never had a Godfather, but Auntie Bea was her Godmother. We named her Valerie Constance Petrie. Suddenly, one evening David announced that he wanted to change her name. "She should be named after you. We will change her name to Valerie Beth Petrie." That accounts for the third finger on one hand. To find out the fourth finger, just continue to read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From award-winning author Alan Bradley comes the next cozy British mystery starring intrepid young sleuth Flavia de Luce, hailed by USA Today as “one of the most remarkable creations in recent literature.” Eleven-year-old amateur detective and ardent chemist Flavia de Luce is used to digging up clues, whether they’re found among the potions in her laboratory or between the pages of her insufferable sisters’ diaries. What she is not accustomed to is digging up bodies. Upon the five-hundredth anniversary of St. Tancred’s death, the English hamlet of Bishop’s Lacey is busily preparing to open its patron saint’s tomb. Nobody is more excited to peek inside the crypt than Flavia, yet what she finds will halt the proceedings dead in their tracks: the body of Mr. Collicutt, the church organist, his face grotesquely and inexplicably masked. Who held a vendetta against Mr. Collicutt, and why would they hide him in such a sacred resting place? The irrepressible Flavia decides to find out. And what she unearths will prove there’s never such thing as an open-and-shut case. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Alan Bradley’s The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches. Acclaim for Speaking from Among the Bones “[Alan] Bradley scores another success. . . . This series is a grown-up version of Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys and all those mysteries you fell in love with as a child.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune “The precocious and irrepressible Flavia . . . continues to delight.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Fiendishly brilliant . . . Bradley has created an utterly charming cast of characters . . . as quirky as any British mystery fan could hope for.”—Bookreporter “Delightful and entertaining.”—San Jose Mercury News

This richly illustrated volume is the first to deal with the long-term consequences of escape, exile, and deportation during this harrowing time for Danish citizens, uncovering deep and painful memories that still haunt many survivors today.
