Sinossi

In "The Murder," Anton Chekhov crafts a compelling exploration of moral ambiguity and the complexities of human nature, all while employing his signature understated prose and keen psychological insight. The story centers on a seemingly trivial crime that spirals into a profound reflection on guilt, responsibility, and the societal forces that shape morality. Chekhov's concise narrative style and sharp dialogue effectively convey the tension between individual desires and collective ethics, making the story a powerful examination of the darker aspects of human behavior, particularly in the context of late 19th-century Russian society, where issues of corruption and injustice were prevalent. Anton Chekhov, a physician by training, became one of the foremost playwrights and short-story writers of his time. His background in medicine and careful observation of human behavior informed his narratives, allowing him to create deeply relatable characters. Chekhov's understanding of the human psyche is evident in "The Murder," which reflects his desire to delve beyond the surface of social interactions and explore the often uncomfortable truths of the human condition, a theme that resonates throughout his oeuvre. This work is highly recommended for readers interested in psychological depth and ethical dilemmas. Chekhov's exploration of the intricate interplay between personal choices and societal norms not only engages but challenges readers, prompting them to reflect on their own moral beliefs and the world around them.

    “Five Stars! The tale immediately drew me in, into the town, into the intriguing mystery, and into the people. A real treat to read." ~Deb, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer 
    Laurel Falls, N.C., 1985: I was done with being a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., tired of all the violence. So I packed up and moved to the small town of Laurel Falls, N.C. It looked like heaven to me—ancient mountains brimming with tall trees and songbirds, peace and quiet. Until I found the body. 
    The sheriff took the easy path, calling it a suicide. No way. I’d found that young woman, and I just knew she hadn’t taken her own life. I’d spent my whole career searching for the truth, and I wasn’t about to stop now. Trouble was, without my usual sources, how much of a murder investigation could I pull off? 
    But a special kid lived next door. Abit Bradshaw, a teenager struggling to find his rightful place in the world. Hey, I knew all about that. I’d never fitted in either, but eventually I’d found something I was good at. I figured he just needed a chance too. 
    And he got one when we teamed up to solve that crime. Along the way, we sure met some interesting characters—both bad and good. We had a plan, and we worked it hard to find that killer before we became the next victims. 
    Looking back, I should’ve known plans rarely pan out the way you think. ~Della Kincaid 
    If you love Jacqueline Winspear, Sue Grafton, and Cheryl Bradshaw (no relation to Abit Bradshaw that we know of), you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series. 
    Get it now—for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations.

    Across the Endless High Plains of Texas, Not All Wine Is Made the Same. For young lifeguard Bud Garza, the summer of 1994 in Lubbock had its perks. Even with his college studies, there was plenty of time leftover for beer, sports, and bar trivia with his Sigma fraternity buddies, not to mention the nonstop beautiful babes under the West Texas sun. The problem is, Bud has a thirsty mind—and empty pockets—so when offered the chance for a raise and to gain some real expertise as a tour guide at the local South Plains Cellars winery, he doesn’t think twice. Yet as timing would have it, Bud’s career shift will coincide with the disappearance of El Paso DEA Senior Special Agent Traegar Jackson, whose tracking of a suspicious Freightliner tanker truck across West Texas drew him close—but not close enough—to the doorsteps of South Plains Cellars. When fellow agent Brian Harris is put on the case to find Jackson, his and Bud’s paths fortuitously cross, and Bud is recruited to do his own reconnaissance, only to discover a much darker secret within the walls of the winery. As Bud gradually discovers the truth about what’s really happening at South Plains Cellars, he must put his wits—and his photographic memory—to the test. But he can’t do it alone, and he’s up against the biggest, baddest criminals both West Texas and Mexico have to offer.
