    A murdered opera singer. A duke drenched in her blood. For Bow Street Officer Hugh Marsden, the brutal killing is a straightforward case. Ever since his exile from polite society, the chance to arrest a high and mighty peer of the realm has never presented itself. Hugh won't snub the opportunity now. 
     
     
     
    But Audrey Sinclair, the Duchess of Fournier, is certain her husband is wrongly accused, and she's determined to prove it to the arrogant Bow Street officer, even if she must employ her most peculiar ability—or perhaps curse—to guide her investigation. After all, a duchess can do as she pleases. 
     
     
     
    Exasperated with the meddling duchess, Hugh is convinced she is protecting her own secrets, and the duke's. But when Audrey's discoveries persuade him to believe the true killer is still at large, he has no choice but to join her in the hunt—if only to keep her from becoming the next victim.

    "Lyla Moody and her book club, the Jane Does, are hosting a Halloween party at Magnolia Manor, tailored after Agatha Christie’s A Murder Is Announced, but when the lights come on after the staged murder, a real victim lies dead from a gunshot wound in her chest. The victim was an estranged relative of Elaine Morgan, operator of the B&B, who’d earlier been seen arguing with her about the fate of the property. Suspicion immediately falls on Elaine, and she’s arrested. The Jane Does believe Elaine is innocent, so when they get the chance to team up with police officer Rosa Landry—a member of the club—they jump on it. But then, the club discovers that two more murders have been brazenly predicted online and in the Sweet Mountain Gazette—and that one of the intended victims is Rosa. Lyla thinks she knows who the killer is, but the only way to find out is by laying a trap using Rosa as bait. But, like an Agatha Christie mystery, the truth is never what it seems. Lyla and her trusty book club will have to sleuth out the killer before Rosa meets her final chapter."

    They’re 17 years old and live in Cles, a peaceful little town in California. They all go to (attend) the same private, expensive high school. These things may seem like the only elements that these like many other teenagers have in common. But there is more. These(few) teens are the most deviant, rebellious, and undisciplined of the entire school. 
    They are all at risk of being expelled and forced to complete their education in an alternative setting at night due to their unwillingness to conform. 
    But at night within the walls of Kennedy High School something happens and the place that the kids have always looked at as familiar and safe becomes a nightmare. 
    Trapped and tortured the teens find a way out, but… 
    This work is an unrestrained tale that produces a teeter-totter of dramatic scenes that leaves one with bated breath. And a surprise ending that completely reverses the situation. It is a text that illustrates what the new generation is like and that allegorically reveals how society tends to marginalize teens by filling them with excessive wealth. In turn removing from them the bare essentials (basics) and also the ability to tell good from evil. 
    In the end they become the adults they have learned to despise. Inward and outward

    The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 2:
    Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
    There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
    The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.
