  When Evelyn Preston returns to her quiet home after a long journey, she expects tranquility—not the body of a dead man sprawled in her library. The Three Strings by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is a gripping early 20th-century mystery that blends elegant domestic drama with psychological suspense. As Evelyn becomes entangled in a murder investigation that draws in her stepfather, a mysterious doctor, and a childhood friend with secrets of his own, the truth tightens like the strings of a violin. 
  This sophisticated whodunit pulses with veiled motives, sharp dialogue, and atmospheric twists—inviting listeners to explore the intricate web of clues, relationships, and lies that bind them all together. 
  Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Golden Age mystery fiction. 
  Narrated with nuance and clarity by Jennifer Lanham.

  Mr Verloc, the secret agent, keeps a shop in London's Soho where he lives with his wife Winnie, her infirm mother, and her idiot brother, Stevie. When Verloc is reluctantly involved in an anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory things go disastrously wrong, and what appears to be "a simple tale" proves to involve politicians, policemen, foreign diplomats, and London's fashionable society in the darkest and most surprising interrelations.Based on the text which Conrad's first English readers enjoyed, this new edition includes a full and up-to-date bibliography, a comprehensive chronology and a critical introduction which describes Conrad's great London novel as the realization of a "monstrous town," a place of idiocy, madness, criminality, and savage butchery. It also discusses contemporary anarchist activity in the UK, imperialism, and Conrad's narrative techniques.

  In Agatha Award-winner Maddie Day's delightfully spooky Cozy Capers Book Group mystery, it's Halloween, and Cape Cod bike shop owner Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida and her book club must unmask a killer . . . 
   
   
   
  Just in time for Halloween, a new costume shop has opened on Main Street in Westham, Massachusetts. Cape Costumers is a cut above the usual seasonal pop-up stores with their flimsy mass-produced outfits and cheap plastic masks, mostly due to co-owner Shelly, a former Broadway costume designer. But when Shelly discovers her elderly boyfriend Enzo—a Broadway star who retired to Westham—dead of unnatural causes, Halloween suddenly gets a lot scarier. 
   
   
   
  Sleuthing, Mac has found, is a lot like riding a bicycle: once you learn how, you never forget. Far from being spooked, Mac and the members of the Cozy Capers Book Group put down their weekly book selection and put their heads together to see past a bag of tricks and find a malice-making murderer who's hiding in plain sight . . .
