Sinossi

In "A Strange Disappearance," Anna Katharine Green presents a masterful blend of mystery and psychological depth, taking readers on an intricate journey through the intrigues of late 19th-century America. The narrative is steeped in Green's signature literary style, characterized by rich, descriptive prose and meticulously crafted plot twists. The story revolves around the inexplicable vanishing of a young woman, drawing the reader into a web of societal expectations and the darker elements of human nature, effectively reflecting the era's fascination with criminality and detection. Anna Katharine Green, often hailed as one of the pioneers of the detective fiction genre, brought a unique female perspective to her works in a male-dominated literary arena. Her extensive background in law and her acute observations of social mores undoubtedly influenced her portrayal of complex characters and moral dilemmas, which are vividly showcased in this novel. Green's ability to weave psychological insight with suspenseful storytelling marked her as a trailblazer for future authors, paving the way for women in the genre. Readers who appreciate nuanced character development intertwined with riveting mystery will find "A Strange Disappearance" to be an essential addition to their literary repertoire. Green's craftsmanship not only captivates but also invites introspection on the nature of truth, morality, and the shadows that linger in the human psyche. This novel is a testament to her legacy and an engaging read for mystery aficionados.

    Janet Evanovich is the hottest author in America, and her Stephanie Plum novels have taken the nation by storm!#1 New York Times#1 Wall Street Journal#1 Los Angeles Times#1 Entertainment Weekly#1 Publishers WeeklyShe's accidentally destroyed a dozen cars. She's a target for every psycho and miscreant this side of the Jersey Turnpike. Her mother's convinced she'll end up dead . . . or worse, without a man. She's Stephanie Plum, and she kicks butt for a living (well, she thinks it sounds good to put it that way. . . .).It begins as an innocent trip to the deli-mart, on a quest for nachos. But Stephanie Plum and her partner, Lula, are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. A robbery leads to an explosion, which leads to the destruction of yet another car. It would be just another day in the life of Stephanie Plum, except that she becomes the target of a gang---and of an even scarier, more dangerous force that comes to Trenton. With super bounty hunter Ranger acting more mysteriously than ever (and the tension with vice cop Joe Morelli getting hotter), she finds herself with a decision to make: how to protect herself and where to hide while on the hunt for a killer known as the Junkman. There's only one safe place, and it has Ranger's name all over it---if she can find it. And if the Junkman doesn't find her first. With Lula riding shotgun and Grandma Mazur on the loose, Stephanie Plum is racing against the clock in her most suspenseful novel yet. Ten Big Ones is page-turning entertainment, and Janet Evanovich is the best there is.

    First published in 1869, "The Idiot" is a novel by the renowned Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It tells the story of Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, who returns to Russia after spending years in a Swiss sanatorium. Despite being genuinely kind, compassionate, and possessing an almost Christ-like innocence, Myshkin is perceived by the society around him as an "idiot." The novel delves into the complexities of the human soul, exploring themes of goodness, love, society's moral degradation, and the repercussions of unbridled ambition. As the narrative unfolds, Prince Myshkin gets entangled in a love triangle and a series of tragic events that underscore Dostoyevsky's critiques of Russian society and his exploration of the nature of good and evil.

    When Lyric shows up at my event asking questions about irregularities on the circuit, I know exactly what she’s talking about—because I’ve been noticing the same things. Someone’s rigging scores, drugging stock, and now they’ve made it clear they’ll do whatever it takes to keep her quiet. I’m not letting her chase this alone. Sangre Vista Ranch is safe, and we can work together to figure out who’s behind this before anyone else gets hurt. The problem is, having her close means remembering why I could never keep my hands off her. 
     
    LYRIC 
    I’ve covered rodeos long enough to know when something’s wrong, and what I’m finding goes deeper than bad luck or coincidence. Approaching Kingston West means facing the man I walked away from, but when my investigation puts a target on my back, he’s the only person I trust. Working together at his family’s ranch should be simple: pool our information, find the truth, and expose whoever’s destroying the sport we both love. Except nothing about being near this cowboy has ever been simple, and every day I spend in his world makes leaving again feel impossible. 
     
    While each book in the Roaring Fork Ranch series features one couple and a guaranteed HEA, the series may be more enjoyable read in order.
