Bunburry - Episode 1-3 by Helena Marchmont Pdf

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry. Here, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour. This compilation contains episodes 1-3. MURDER AT THE MOUSETRAP Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined. After arriving in Bunburry, he is co-opted as an amateur detective by Liz and Marge, two elderly ladies who were best friends with Alfie's late Aunt Augusta. And it is not long before their investigations take an even more dramatic turn ... A MURDEROUS RIDE Alfie discovers that he has not only inherited a cottage from his late Aunt Augusta but also a 1950s Jaguar. He is dismayed: for reasons of his own, he no longer drives. Aunt Augusta's best friends, Liz and Marge, persuade him to get behind the wheel again - but that's just the start of his Troubles ... A TASTE OF MURDER When a local beef farmer is found dead, Betty Thorndike - vegetarian and Bunburry's only Green Party member - is in the frame. Despite what everyone thinks, Betty is absolutely not Alfie McAlister's girlfriend. But Alfie knows what it's like to be wrongly accused, and enlists the help of his fellow amateur detectives, Liz and Marge, to find out who's responsible. There's just one problem about a farm-based investigation - Alfie's scared of cows ... Helena Marchmont is a pseudonym of Olga Wojtas, who was born and brought up in Edinburgh.

Dorothy Powell has much to discover about herself as time plays tricks on her. She believes she has enemies who want to kill her. She's a thorn in the side of the Russian drug lords operating within USA borders. When she goes missing on July 4th, leaving as Russian assassin dead near Crystal Creek in Maury County, TN, the local police investigate. The search for the missing elderly woman goes worldwide. Where is Dorothy, and did she kill the assassin? Or did someone else do the deed then kidnap her? The mystery is deep and troubling. Daughter Claire and best friend Lorene are worried about Dorothy's safety. Is she with that rogue CIA agent, Thomas Kessler? Her devotion to the man seems unorthodox since she is a decade older than him. Life is bump, dangerous, and uncertain for Dorothy as she trails Tom around the planet doing illegal things that will land her in jail. But she trusts him with her whole heart because love overlooks shortcomings. Drop-dead gorgeous CIA Kelly is not to be trusted. Sometimes Dorothy feels like she is with Jesus; other times she is in Hell. We are all in God's story, she's been told. When confusion sets in and the truth surfaces, Dorothy struggles between reality and fiction. Getting older is not for wimps, she quickly learns. Clinging to a happy ending, Dorothy wings her way through the story plot as the last episode in the Crystal Creek Mysteries concludes. Author M. Sue Alexander excels in ingenuity in this sequel.

Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Golden Samovar by Olga Wojtas Pdf

A librarian with deceptively dangerous skills is sent back in time to Tzarist Russia in this “laugh-out-loud farce” and homage to Muriel Spark (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Never underestimate a librarian. Comfortable padded and in her middle years, Shona McMonagle may look bookish and harmless, but her education at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls has left her with a deadly expertise in everything from martial arts to quantum physics. It has also left her with a bone-deep loathing for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, that scurrilous novel that spread scandalous untruths about the finest educational institution in Edinburgh. Shona’s skills, her deceptively mild appearance, and her passionate loyalty make her the perfect recruit for an interesting new project: time travel to Tzarist Russia, prevent a gross miscarriage of romance, and—in any spare time—see to it that only the right people get murdered. It’s a big job, but no task is too daunting for a prefect from Miss Blaine’s. “A delightful addition to the ranks of comic crime.” —The Guardian, UK
