Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young woman is invited to a mysterious relative’s estate and winds up entangled in a murder investigation in this witty historical mystery that pits the gothic eeriness of Crimson Peak against the comic absurdities of Knives Out. Miss Marigold Manners may be steeped in the etiquette of her old-money Boston family, but she is also an accomplished, modern woman and an avid student of archaeology who can handle any situation with poise. When the death of her parents leaves her too destitute to pursue her academic career and she receives a letter from a distant relative on Great Misery Island, Marigold decides she must do what any person of superior sense and greater-than-average curiosity would: she mounts her trusty bicycle and heads up the craggy, fog-shrouded coast of New England for a date with fate. Marigold arrives at Hatchet Farm, a moldering, gothic pile of a house inhabited by relatives so mired in the sins of the past, they have no future. She sets out to modernize the recluses with a brisk, ruthless efficiency, but her well-intentioned plans to manage their lives lead to malice—and murder. Marigold spies a body floating in the stormy waters surrounding the island, and her suspicions immediately turn to her hostile, weapon-wielding relatives when one of the local girls turns up missing. And she might not be the only one. When another dead body is found in the garden of the estate, Marigold finds herself accused. She must enlist the help of an eccentric, colorful cast of friends and found family to save herself—and everything she holds dear. As secrets are uncovered and lies exposed, the question of “who done it?” turns into “who didn’t do it?” and Marigold must face a truth that shatters her steely poise and shakes her very sense of self.

Download or read book A Marked Peculiarity written by Charles Bachman and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including traditional forms such as structured quatrain, sonnet, and terza rima, as well as free verse, these evocative, fresh and often outrageously humorous poems have a powerful and effective rhythm reflecting Bachman's background singing many leading roles in operas and musicals; their vividly metaphoric explorations of the great death-rebirth cycles of nature from delicate re-seeding of flowers to mountain crags and massive floes of ice on the Niagara River, reflect his love of both gardening and hiking/mountain climbing; his section on personal memories, including growing up in Iowa, express both tragedy and a gentle, kind humor for people he has known; and the many poems of fantasy and exploration of the bizarre corners of the psyche frequently shatter any safe, comfortable boundaries, leading the reader into strange, fascinating country reflecting Bachman's unique, highly unusual vision. We have here a masterful, accomplished, highly individual poet at the peak of his powers who obviously believes the reader deserves vivid explorations, including fun and adventure--which this book provides in abundance.

Download or read book Accounting and Financial System Reform in Eastern Europe and Asia written by Robert W. McGee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-14 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the economic and political problems of countries that are in the process of changing from centrally planned systems to market systems. Most studies have focused on the economic, legal, political and sociological problems these economies have had to face during the transition period. However, not much has been written about the dramatic changes that have to be made to the accounting and financial system of a transition economy. This book was written to help fill that gap. This book is the second in a series to examine accounting and financial system reform in transition economies. The first book used Russia as a case study. The present volume in the series examines some additional aspects of the reform in Russia and also looks at the accounting and financial system reform efforts that are being made in Ukraine, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Armenia and five Central Asian republics.

Download or read book Everyone Hates The Dentist written by Tom DiStefano and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-06-27 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone Hates the Dentist is a book about what it’s like to be a dentist. The title is a tongue in cheek statement that juxtaposes an all-too-common expression with the reality of the type of relationships we as dentists actually have with our patients. It was written based on experiences, lessons learned and philosophies developed over a thirty-eight-year career as a dentist. It started out as a memoir or collection of stories which somehow morphed into a philosophical practice management and interpersonal behavioral manual. This led to a more in-depth analysis of how those stories were connected and how to best use the knowledge acquired in order to evolve and develop as a dentist and a person. The book talks about the positive impact dental professionals have on the lives of their patients. This also elevates not only their dental health but also their self-esteem and the impact on their overall health. The relationships forged and maintained during that time are the hidden gems available to dentists. This book would be of the very most use to young dentists in order to learn many of the things not taught in dental school and allow them to develop some essential skills earlier than they would have otherwise. Seasoned dentists would probably get a chuckle over some of the anecdotes and also be reminded of some of the experiences they’ve had over the years. Hygienists and dental assistants would also enjoy it as they live in the world described in the pages of this book. In fact, most health care providers beyond dentistry would be able to relate to the subject matter and get a lesson, a laugh or some validation from what is talked about. Part one, titled The People would be a great read for anyone who enjoys personal interest stories.

Victor Spoil comes from a long line of famous supervillains and he's fully expected to join their ranks one day. But to his family's utter disappointment, Victor doesn't have a single bad-guy bone in his body. He won't run with scissors, he always finishes his peas, and he can't stand to be messy. Hopeless! As a last-ditch effort before they give up and let him be a -- gasp! -- civilian, Victor's exasperated parents send him to apprentice under a disgraced supervillain called The Smear. This matchup starts off as a complete disaster, but Victor and The Smear eventually find that they have a lot to learn from each other. When the stakes get high as Victor is forced to choose between his mentor and his family morals (or lack thereof) . . . what will the world's nicest bad guy do?

Download or read book Consider the Lilies written by Jonny Ardavanis and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find freedom from anxiety as you lift your gaze from the problems and pressures of this world to the changeless and powerful character of your heavenly Father. Is my cancer back? Is my job secure? Will I ever get married? Are my children safe? Our lives are often a chronicle of trouble, pain, and uncertainty--and God's children yearn for peace. Many who wrestle with anxiety and despair know that the Bible calls them to "trust God," but what does that even mean? In Consider the Lilies, pastor, podcaster, and speaker Jonny Ardavanis shows us God's consistent response to those who are worn down by worry and badgered by melancholy: He proclaims His own character. Drawing on that perspective-shifting model, Jonny offers biblical insight on how to ground our thoughts and fix our gaze on who God is. Compassionate, biblical, and timely, Consider the Lilies explores: How dwelling on the character of God is the surest pathway to peace The root causes of anxiety and worry in the Bible What the Bible says about the integration of our physical and spiritual lives Why worry grieves God's heart as our Father Consider the Lilies is for those who long for liberation from their anxiety and fear--and desire to deeply know the God they are called and enabled to trust. If you are starved for hope and gasping for peace, consider the character of your heavenly Father, who welcomes all who are anxious, fearful, and melancholy to trust in Him.
