  After retiring from a successful federal career, Danielle Spencer expected a quieter life. Instead, accepting a position with Washington, D.C.'s public school system led her into a workplace marked by fear, dysfunction, retaliation, and unsafe conditions. As she witnesses leadership failures, bureaucratic obstacles, and a culture that discourages employees from speaking out, she begins documenting what she experiences. Through Danielle's eyes, readers are taken inside an education system where appearances often outweigh accountability and both staff and students are expected to accept the status quo. MISEDUCATION: Inside DC's Education Plantation is a compelling novel exploring power, institutional culture, resilience, and the courage to challenge injustice. Blending workplace drama with social commentary, it asks a powerful question: What happens when the very system meant to educate instead teaches acceptance over accountability?

  Murder Adjacent #9: Not a Task...

  Quirky Sleuths. Big Murders. Very Bad Alibis.
  
  Bellwether County has an awkward problem: its sheriff's office keeps solving murders after civilians with extremely specific knowledge notice extremely important things. Sheriff Lotte Carmichael insists this does not constitute a system, a club, or anything remotely resembling a task force. Then a state review team arrives to examine the county's suspiciously good clearance rate and its even more suspicious civilian information pathways.
  
  Before Lotte can finish explaining the difference between useful context and uncontrolled involvement, state reviewer Helena Saye is murdered inside the Public Safety Annex evidence review room. Beside her body lies a dossier labeled MURDER ADJACENT, built around seven previous cases and apparently designed to prove exactly what Lotte has spent years denying.
  
  But Detective Eli Rook notices something more dangerous than the accusation. The dossier gets the cases right and the reasons wrong. Whoever wrote it knew the reports, the outcomes, and the official language, but never understood why the crucial observations mattered. And when the trail begins leading into old evidence transfers and beautifully harmless administrative language, Lotte discovers Bellwether's most dangerous hiding place may be the paperwork everyone stopped reading.

  Violet Hunter consults Holmes after being offered a governess job subject to a number of unusual conditions, including cutting her hair short. The wage is extremely high, £120, and she decides to accept the job, though Holmes tells her to contact him if she needs to.

Holmes discovers that someone had been kept prisoner in the wing, but when Holmes, Watson and Hunter enter, it is empty. They are accused of freeing the prisoner, who was the daughter of Hunter's employer, who sets his dog on them, though it attacks him instead. It is revealed that Hunter had been hired to impersonate her employer's daughter so that her fiancé would believe she was no longer interested in seeing him, but the daughter had escaped and the pair later married.
