  Death Is a Lonely Business

  Ray Bradbury

  Ray Bradbury, the undisputed Dean of American storytelling, dips his accomplished pen into the cryptic inkwell of noir and creates a stylish and slightly fantastical tale of mayhem and murder set among the shadows and the murky canals of Venice, California, in the early 1950s. 
    
  Toiling away amid the looming palm trees and decaying bungalows, a struggling young writer (who bears a resemblance to the author) spins fantastic stories from his fertile imagination upon his clacking typewriter. Trying not to miss his girlfriend (away studying in Mexico), the nameless writer steadily crafts his literary effort—until strange things begin happening around him. 
    
  Starting with a series of peculiar phone calls, the writer then finds clumps of seaweed on his doorstep. But as the incidents escalate, his friends fall victim to a series of mysterious "accidents"—some of them fatal. Aided by Elmo Crumley, a savvy, street-smart detective, and a reclusive actress of yesteryear with an intense hunger for life, the wordsmith sets out to find the connection between the bizarre events, and in doing so, uncovers the truth about his own creative abilities.

  Two Bundle Brent Mysteries! -...

  In 1925, Agatha Christie - the Queen of Crime - introduced Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent to the world when she released "The Secret of Chimneys," a fast-paced thriller that takes place at the grand English estate where Bundle lives with her aristocratic family. 
  When a murder occurs at the estate, Scotland Yard sends the formidable and brilliant Superintendent Battle to unravel the mystery and Bundle - described as a 1920's "It Girl" - is drawn into the investigation, much to Battle's chagrin. 
  Bundle proves to be an adroit amateur sleuth, however, and manages to assist Battle in his investigation so that when he returns to Chimneys to explore a second murder in "The Seven Dials Mystery" (1929), Battle is far less reluctant to let Bundle meddle in the inquiry and she soon helps expose a secret and anonymous cabal of plotters. 
  Whip-smart, capable and indefatigable, Bundle Brent is among Agatha Christie's finest creations and both of her novels are presented here in their original and unabridged format.  These books were narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols, best known for her narration of Agatha Christie's "Murder at the Vicarage," Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" as well as the complete works of Jane Austen.
