  The Adventure of the Winchester Heart-Breaker:
  "To the man who loves intellectual stimulation," remarked Sherlock Holmes, "London in August is the lowliest month on the calendar. Those with the means to do so have departed for the Algarve and the Riviera. Those without are off to Blackpool and Brighton." "And what about those," I asked, "who are left behind? You and I are still here." "You at least have your sensational accounts of my efforts to keep scribbling. I, on the other hand, am losing faith in the enterprising criminal class. They appear to have faded into the great unobservant public and are somnambulating about the city, doing nothing more than stealing lead pencils from blind beggars."

  A Killing Kindness

  The Yorkshire detectives are upstaged by a Shakespeare-inspired serial killer in this "stylish, superior . . . snappy" mystery (Kirkus Reviews). 
   
   
    
  Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (the New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
   
   
    
  The CID's Andrew Dalziel prefers simple killers. Not a crackpot who fancies himself Hamlet and taunts authorities with lofty quotes from the Bard. Dubbed the Yorkshire Choker, he's already taken three lives in four weeks and promises more tragedy to come. To help nab the serial strangler, Peter Pascoe has enlisted the help of linguistics professors, psychologists, and psychics—all of it nonsense to the grounded Dalziel. But as the murders escalate, the motives become more tangled, and the killer's identity grows more elusive scene-by-crime-scene, Dalziel and Pascoe must do everything they can to bring down the curtain on the princely fiend.

  A haunted house. A murdered physician. A bridegroom found holding the smoking gun. 
   
  George Uhlman has reluctantly agreed to watch over his niece, Dorothy McGregor, as she prepares to marry young physician Lewis Parker. His stay at Fort House should be uneventful—but the gloomy North Carolina mansion is already troubled by unexplained noises, shattered dishes, missing food, and rumors of a destructive poltergeist. 
   
  Then the disturbances take a deadly turn. 
   
  After a bitter confrontation between Lewis and his professional rival, Dr. Gaskell, a shotgun blast shatters the early-morning quiet. Gaskell is discovered dead in the scrub oaks, and Lewis is found nearby with the weapon in his hands. 
   
  The evidence appears damning. The townspeople demand justice, the authorities close in, and Dorothy’s future collapses around her. But when Lewis’s sharp-minded best man, Dr. Floyd Somers, arrives in Pinelands, he refuses to accept the obvious solution. 
   
  Behind the ghostly disturbances lies a household filled with secrets. Behind the murder lies a web of jealousy, old grudges, hidden criminal activity, and carefully arranged deception. 
   
  First published in 1922, *The Trouble at Pinelands* is an atmospheric American mystery combining a seemingly haunted house, small-town rivalries, courtroom intrigue, and a classic puzzle of detection. 
   
  Narrated by John Riddle.

  Helen Stoner worries her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. Stoner is herself now engaged, and Holmes learns that her stepfather's annuity (from the estate of his wife — Stoner's mother) would be greatly reduced if either sister married. During a late-night investigation of the bedroom, Holmes and Watson discover a dummy bell-pull near a ventilator. As they lie in wait a whistle sounds, then a snake appears through the ventilator. Holmes attacks the snake with his riding crop; it retreats to the next room, where it attacks and kills Stoner's stepfather.
