Beschreibung

Gilbert Larose is again called from retirement to solve a mystery—if anything, a mystery more baffling than those which have made his name in the past. Six murders in seven weeks and Scotland Yard is helpless. The crimes give no clue—not even a similarity of method to connect them. Just the whine of a bullet, the stab of a knife or the crash of a bludgeon, and the murderer has slunk back into the blackness of the night. Six times in seven weeks a coroner's jury returns the verdict “Murder by some person or persons unknown.”

    Twenty-something master barista and owner of Portland, Oregon's popular Ground Rules coffee cart, Sage Caplin is ready to celebrate her growing business at a weekend long maker's festival, complete with live music, a cornhole tournament, 4th of July fireworks—and murder . . . 
     
     
     
    In addition to her beloved coffees, Sage is thrilled to be expanding her offerings in collaboration with the local whiskey company that is throwing the festival. But among the crowd of artists and creators, Sage is surprised to spot Left Coast Grinds owner Mark Jeffries, who has it out for Ground Rules. The distillery didn't invite Mark and they apologize. But nothing can make up for the glare Mark aims at Sage and her co-owner, Harley. And that's just a taste of what's to come . . . 
     
     
      
    Soon Mark incites a loud argument with Harley and is ousted from the property. But later that night, Sage finds Mark's body by the Ground Rules Subaru. She knows that when investigators learn that Harley and Mark had a history of butting heads, Harley will be a prime suspect—and she's right. But Mark rubbed many people the wrong way, and several are at the festival. Now Sage will have to filter through secrets, grudges, and blackmail to get to the bitter truth—and as her sleuthing heats up, the closing fireworks won't just be the ones in the sky . . .

    Synopsis: 
    The Canterville Ghost is a short story written by Oscar Wilde. What the author achieves with this work is proof of his mastery, his knowledge of the literary language, and his ability to poignantly mix mystery and humor. 
    It is a narrative text that leaves the reader captivated from start to finish. It's about a ghost who, as usual, devises a plan to scare the new family that will move to Canterville Castle. The problem is that these people are not what he expected. 
    The Otis are part of a distinguished American family that is not impressed by the appearance of a simple ghost. This, logically, leaves the specter disconcerted and begins a conflict that finishes in an almost poetic way. 
    About the Author: 
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish poet, playwright, and novelist, best known for his wit, flamboyant style, and sharp social commentary. He became one of the most prominent literary figures of the late Victorian era, gaining fame with works such as the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and plays like The Importance of Being Earnest. Wilde’s writing often satirized Victorian society, exposing its hypocrisies with humor and elegance. Despite his literary success, his life took a tragic turn when he was imprisoned for "gross indecency" due to his homosexuality, which was criminalized at the time. After his release, he lived in exile in France, where he died at the age of 46. Today, Wilde is celebrated as a brilliant writer and a symbol of artistic freedom and individuality.
