Beschreibung

Our mystery selections kick off with “A Matter of Trust,” N.M. Cedeño’s tale of a genetic genealogy detective trying to prove an illegitimate child’s claim to a family trust. Thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken for this one. And Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman has a Halloween-appropriate tale in “Grimalkin,” by Mark Thielman, in which a cat may be more than it seems. We also have fantasist Phyllis Ann Karr’s first sale—which turns out to be a mystery!—and a novel by British master J.S. Fletcher. And, of course, no issue is complete without a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
Continuing our seasonal celebration of all things Halloween, we have a pair of dark delights—tales by Adrian Cole and me. Have some ghoulish shivers on us!
 
For lovers of science fiction, we have a great tale by Norman Spinrad, plus classics by Charles V. De Vet and Lester del Rey. Great stuff.

    Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining busybody aristocrats, tales from distant lands, and a dead body . . . now and then. 
     
     
     
    When Lady Darriby-Jones encounters a roadblock on her quest to reclaim her beloved Rolls-Royce, she dismisses it as another molehill magnified by the local constabulary into a mountainous mess. Little does she know, the kerfuffle involves more than a traffic hiccup—it's a symphony of chaos orchestrated by the untimely demise of her dodgy yet reliable mechanic. 
     
     
     
    Her mechanic may not have been a choir boy, but a dead one? 
     
     
     
    The plot thickens when her driver becomes the prime suspect, courtesy of DCI Rude Manners—the reigning champion of inept policing in England. As Lady Darriby-Jones navigates clues leading to dead ends, it appears the elusive killer has mastered the art of staying two steps ahead. 
     
     
     
    In a world where manners are a must, Lady Darriby-Jones unleashes her own form of etiquette—digging into secrets that lurk around every corner and outfoxing a cunning killer determined to dance away from justice. 
     
     
     
    Will she succeed in untangling the web of deception that entwines her, or will the killer's schemes lead her on a twisted tango into the shadows?

The phrase rang with irony for Magnus Eddington, for time appeared to be running out for the earl of Rutherford. He needed both heir and angel to redeem his devilish past, yet could heaven-sent Caroline Wembly be the balm for his broken soul?

    The seventh book in the fabulous Manor House Mystery Series by Kate Kingsbury, the bestselling author of the Pennyfoot Hotel Mysteries! 
     
     
     
    Enthralling mystery, lots of laughter, and a little bit of romance—that's village life in wartime England . . . 
     
     
     
    Left with only a muddle-headed butler, a bossy cook/housekeeper, and a couple of energetic maids, Lady Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton has enough problems on her hands. Not only is she struggling to upkeep the sprawling Manor House and vast acres she inherited, she must also take care of her numerous tenants, while coping with the inconveniences and sacrifices of wartime England. Fortunately Sitting Marsh is far removed from the bombing going on in London and other cities. That doesn't mean that peace prevails in the tiny village. There's the handsome American major who takes over the Manor House for officers' quarters, and the group of belligerent housewives determined to take on the German invaders, not to mention a murder or two . . . 
     
     
     
    Lovers of Agatha Christie's books will find much to enjoy in this tale of intrigue and laughter in an English village, and Emily Brightwell fans will fall in love with the offbeat characters of Sitting Marsh.
