Summary

As the novel opens, the sparkling and witty Roger Sheringham has been asked by the Daily Courier to visit Hampshire to report on an apparent murder in the small seaside town of Ludmouth Bay. With him he takes his cousin Anthony Walton. "Although there were more than ten years between the cousins (Roger was now thirty-six, Anthony a bare twenty-five), they had always been good friends, and that also in spite of the fact that they had scarcely a taste or a feeling in common." The two of them prove an effective and entertaining pair of investigators.

    The time has come for a serial killer to strike—and they're aiming for the Black Horse Campground—in the series from the author of At the Crossroad. 
 
 
  
With the campground already a crime-scene curiosity, Corrie takes a weekend break from the business just as J. D. Wilder makes his return to the village of Bonney from his home turf of Houston. With Corrie on vacation, he turns his attention to the cold cases they thought were long solved. Something isn't adding up.

And with a fourth grave already dug, he's convinced that the real serial killer is still at large. A deep dive into Corrie's and her friends' pasts uncovers clues that point to a horrifying possibility: the danger isn't coming from outside of Bonney, but straight from inside its dark and twisted heart . . .

    Two mysteries set in seventh-century China featuring Judge Dee, "a great detective in the noblest tradition . . . perceptive [and] ever fascinating."—The New York Times 
 
The Monkey and The Tiger includes two detective stories, "The Morning of the Monkey" and "The Night of the Tiger," based on a real-life judge in T'ang Dynasty China who became legendary for his crime-solving skills. In the first story, a gibbon drops an emerald in the open gallery of Judge Dee's official residence, leading the magistrate to discover a strangely mutilated body in the woods—and investigate how it got there. In the second, Dee is traveling to the imperial capital to assume a new position when he is separated from his escort by a flood. Marooned in a large country house surrounded by fierce bandits, Dee confronts an apparition that helps him solve a mystery. 
 
"If you have not yet discovered Judge Dee, I envy you that initial pleasure. [He] belongs in that select group of fictional detectives headed by Sherlock Holmes. I assure you it is a compliment not given frivolously." —Los Angeles Times 
 
This audiobook is expertly read by Peter Kim, with audio engineering by Sam Platt. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
