Sinopse

Sherman Holmes has reached a crossroads in his life, having inherited a large fortune from a hitherto unknown relative.

 
John Garden also has a decision to make that will have a far-reaching effect on his future.

 
The two happen to book into the same hotel, The Black Swan, on the same weekend,to mull over the changes to their lives that both of them are thinking of making.

 
Meeting purely by chance, foundations for a friendship are laid based on their mutual love of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories. When a murder occurs in the hotel, though, it isn’t long before their bond strengthens, as they decide to form an alliance and unmask the murderer. They soon find that Death is following them like a faithful dog and, as the case gets more tangled, they make the decision to cement their alliance formally and set up as private investigators.

 
This first book in the series is a romp through a small English town, featuring a pompous would-be Holmes of Baker Street and his own, cross-dressing, ‘Watson’. Mercurially tempered Colin, Holmes’ cat, also makes his first appearance …

    P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.   Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales - including eight short stories from the anthology "My Man, Jeeves," as well as the complete novels "The Inimitable Jeeves" and "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. ("My Man Jeeves" also features four stories surrounding Reggie Pepper, an early Bertie Wooster prototype.).  Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.

    The A to Z of flying jargon is the subject of Flying Can Be Fun, a humorous look at the world of flight. Award-winning cartoonist Dick Locher has teamed up with award-winning humorist Michael Kilian to create the funniest illustrated dictionary of flight lingo available anywhere.  A is for aerial, “that part of the aircraft most frequently broken off during walk-around pre-flight inspection to see if anything is broken off.” C is for coordinates, “flying clothing worn by fashionable female pilots.” G is for ground speed, “what airspeed becomes upon landing.” I is for icing, “what frequently happens to pilots who think that flying through winter thunderstorms is a piece of cake.” S is for spin, “what makes the world go ’round when you’re looking at it directly through a windscreen.” And W is for wilco, “Roger’s last name,” of course.

    I'm the notoriously angry, grouchy D.C. Eagles defenseman who just can’t keep his temper in check—a temper that leads to a fifteen-game suspension from the NHL. As if that’s not bad enough, I'm forced into a short-term youth-hockey coaching gig—which my manager swears will “rebuild my image.” But what I didn’t expect was for a gorgeous, spunky blonde to stomp onto the ice on day one and lecture me about being rude to her little brother. Something about this spitfire of a woman, and the boy she’s so protective of, has my defenses melting. And if I’m not careful, I’ll burst into flames, forever melting the ice I’ve carefully kept around my heart. This is a closed-door romcom with mild language. Trigger warnings include parental substance abuse and dealing with grief/loss of parents.

    Mark Holbrook was a legend. A tall, rugged, imposing legend. He'd won a Pulitzer, interviewed kings and queens, presidents and movie stars. Carly Barnett, on the other hand, was a former-beauty-queen-turned-advice-columnist. Not exactly on the same level. Still, Carly was determined to prove that she was more than a pretty face.Mark wasn't sure the beautiful and spirited Carly had what it took to be a reporter, but he was sure that he wanted her. And Mark never denied himself what he wanted. Only, Carly was far better at uncovering the truth than Mark had given her credit for. And sooner or later she'd uncover the most dangerous truth of all—that he couldn't live without her.
