Copy Cap Murder by Jenn McKinlay Pdf

The New York Times bestselling author of At the Drop of a Hat returns to her London hat shop with a fresh tale of milliners and murder. For Scarlett Parker, part of the fun of living in London is celebrating the British holidays, and she’s excited to share her first Bonfire Night with her cousin Vivian Tremont. Invited to a posh party by their friend Harrison Wentworth, Scarlett and Viv decide to promote their hat shop, Mim’s Whims, by donning a few of their more outrageous creations. The hats prove to be quite the conversation starters as the girls mix and mingle with the guests—never suspecting that one of them is a killer. It’s a cold, clear night, perfect for the British tradition of tossing a straw stuffed effigy of Guy Fawkes, traitor to the crown, onto the bonfire. But instead of a straw man, they realize in the heat of the moment that the would-be Guy Fawkes is actually Harrison’s office rival and he’s been murdered. Before the smoke has cleared, Harrison is the Metropolitan police’s prime suspect, and Scarlett and Vivian must find the real homicidal hothead before their dear friend’s life goes up in flames.

The Black Cap by Cynthia Asquith Pdf

Excerpt from The Black Cap: New Stories of Murder Mystery Smith is a little old bachelor, and sits there beaming on his guests like an elderly cupid. So they think him, but they are to be undeceived. Though many of them have not met until this week, they have at present that genial regard for each other which steals so becomingly over really nice people who have eaten too much. Dolphin, the butler, is passing round the fruit. The only other attendant is a maid in the background, as for an emergency, and she is as interested in the conversation as he is indifferent to it. If one of the guests were to destroy himself, Dolphin would merely sign to her to remove the debris while he continued to serve the fruit. In the midst of hilarity over some quip that we are just too late to catch, the youthful Lady Jane counts the company and is appalled. Lady Jane: We are thirteen Lady Wrathie. (Many fingers count.) Lady Wrathie: Fourteen. Capt. Jennings: Twelve. Lady Jane: We are thirteen Host: Oh, dear how careless of me. Is there anything I can do? Sir Joseph (of the city): Leave this to me. All keep your seats. Mrs. Preen (perhaps rather thankfully): I am afraid Lady Jane has risen. (Lady Jane subsides.) Lady Wrathie: Joseph, you have risen yourself. (Sir Joseph subsides.) Mrs. Castro (a mysterious widow from Buenos Ayres): Were we thirteen all those nights? Mrs. Preen: We always had a guest or two from outside, you remember.
