Beschreibung

In "The Dorrington Deed-Box," Arthur Morrison presents a masterful collection of detective tales that elegantly blends elements of mystery and psychological depth, showcasing his adept command of narrative style. The book unfolds through a series of interconnected stories centered around the enigmatic Dorrington and his dubious activities, rich in intricate plots and engaging characters. Morrison's style is characterized by sharp dialogue and vivid descriptions, situating the work within the late Victorian literary context, where burgeoning interest in criminology and the detective genre was prevalent. The stories provide sharp social commentary on the era's moral ambiguities, making it not just a collection of mysteries but a reflection on human nature and societal flaws. Arthur Morrison, an esteemed English writer, drew upon his own experiences as a barrister and detective fiction aficionado to craft this compelling volume. His background in law and personal acquaintance with London's underbelly provided authentic insights into criminality and the justice system, enriching the narrative with realism. Morrison was known for his contributions to the genre, as well as being a celebrated writer of working-class life, giving him a unique perspective that permeates the text. Readers seeking a blend of suspense, character study, and social critique will find "The Dorrington Deed-Box" an enlightening and thrilling read. Morrison's ability to craft taut narratives, along with his nuanced portrayal of crime and morality, places this work among the finest within the detective genre. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of crime fiction or the deeper implications of human behavior.

    Welcome to Mooselick River, where the Christmas lights sparkle, the gossip travels faster than Wi-Fi, and ghosts refuse to stay quiet.
     
    Everly Dupree came home looking for a fresh start. What she got was a front-row seat to murder, and mayhem.This collection includes books 1-3 in the Haunted Everly After Mysteries series, each packed with supernatural twists, small-town charm, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
     
    Book 1: Ghost MortemEverly Dupree thought walking in on her husband in bed with her best friend was the worst thing that could happen. Then she moves back home, checks into a motel, and stumbles upon a dead body—specifically, her high school ex-boyfriend’s. Worse? His ghost won’t leave her alone until she solves his urder. With a town full of suspects and a crime scene that won’t stay quiet, Everly’s fresh start is looking a lot more like paranormal purgatory.
     
    Book 2: Bargain HaunterA town-wide yard sale, a micromanaging ghost, and one very dead boss—Everly should have known the annual event would be more than just cutthroat shopping. When a chocolate lab drags her straight to a body, Everly finds herself tangled up in small-town scandals, shredded secrets, and a nosy dog who refuses to leave her side. And when the dearly departed insists his death wasn’t an accident, Everly’s got no choice but to dig through the clues—literally and figuratively—before the killer strikes again.
     
    Book 3: Christmas PresenceMurder  never takes a holiday, and neither do Everly’s unwanted ghostly 
    visitors. When a journalist turns up strangled with a string of Christmas lights, the town’s annual holiday decorating contest becomes a crime scene. With bitter rivalries, twisted secrets, and a pushy ghost demanding justice, Everly’s got more than just shopping and snowflakes on her plate. And when the case circles back to her ex-husband’s latest scandal, it’s clear—some gifts should never be unwrapped.

    Inside this gorgeous swan is an ugly duckling just waiting to get out. 
    Family. Can’t live with them, can’t let them be wrongly accused of murder. At least, that’s how it works for Ivy and the Galloway clan. Now her best friend, Jilly Blackwood, is in a similar bind. 
    Jilly hasn’t seen her grandmother since feathers flew in a family feud years ago. That suited Jilly just fine because her true family—the one she found in Clover Grove—is more than enough. 
    But when Gran calls from her retirement community asking for help, Jilly can’t say no. Someone has died under suspicious circumstances and neighbors are blaming either the vicious swan that just moved in ... or Jilly’s grandmother. Gran may be quirky, but Jilly knows she’s not capable of murder. 
    It’s time for Ivy, Keats and Percy to join Jilly on the road trip of a lifetime. Will the crime-solving team make it back to Runaway Farm alive? 
    Join hobby farmer Ivy Galloway and her brilliant sheepdog, Keats, as they wrangle rescue animals and ruthless killers in this lighthearted cozy mystery series for animal lovers. If you enjoy a little magic with your mysteries, Ellen Riggs is also the author of the Mystic Mutt Mystery series.

    A long forgotten book conceals a dangerous secret. 
    James Faraday is about to turn eighty and his daughter has organised a gathering of friends and family at Woodford Grange to celebrate the big day. There will be a marquee in the garden, plenty of food and drink, and a huge stack of birthday presents. One particular gift, however, is proving difficult to track down.  
    For Simon Turing, who works in the local bookshop, it is just another order; an out of print book of wartime statistics. It only takes a day or two for him to locate a copy.  
    As soon as the book arrives, however, things start to go awry. The shop is burgled. Simon is knocked off his bike on his way to the Grange. And a worker at the estate suffers a fatal accident. Is it just a run of bad luck or are more sinister forces at work? 
    Simon is about to find out.
