  Nora Pennington, the owner of Miracle Books, believes that a well-chosen novel can bring healing and hope. But she and the rest of the members of the Secret, Book, and Scone Society know that, sometimes, practical help is needed too. Such is the case with the reed-thin girl hiding in the fiction section of Nora's store, wearing a hospital ID and a patchwork of faded bruises. She calls herself Abilene, and, although Nora and her friends offer work, shelter, and a supportive ear, their guest isn't ready to divulge her secrets. But when a customer is found dead in an assumed suicide, Nora uncovers a connection that points to Abilene...as either a suspect or another target. When a second death hits town, Nora and her intrepid friends must help the greenhorn sheriff discern fact from fiction and stop the killer before another story is prematurely brought to a close.

  A Chinese Univ. of Fla. student & an old Florida farmer disappear, linked only by a canoe trip to a secret sinkhole. Neighbors, Shepard (a blind radio host) & Miranda (a shy librarian), soon find this double-murder puzzle could cost their lives - or at least their future together. Sequel to award-winning novel, Finding Miranda. 
  There's a heap of trouble brewing for the folks in Minokee when a blind deejay and a small-town librarian try to solve a double murder. 
  The trouble starts with a Pig River canoe trip and a friend's discovering a mammoth's skeleton. Shep and Miranda rely on their sense of humor as they face dangerous fossil poachers -- but even that is difficult when their engagement is broken amidst a river of troubles. 
   Shep's Italian friend (Carlo - cook, chauffeur, valet, & ladies man) aids the couple in their adventures. Shep's animal friend, Zeus, a Maine Coon cat, is so clever, he sometimes seems clairvoyant. 
   The Coffee Ritual ladies of Minokee, Florida, add their quirky personalities and folksy wisdom to help Shep & Miranda iron out the bumps in their lives as the ladies gather every dawn on their front porches to sip their coffee while they wait for the sight of the blond Adonis (Shep) jogging past their Magnolia Street cottages. 
  Shepard's mother (Hermione Montgomery-Krausse) is always behind the scenes, attempting to direct the course of Shep's career. The couple's difficulties with Hermione are compounded when Miranda's parents arrive unannounced from Miami, and Miranda's father sides with his daughter (and Hermione's son) against the two matriarchs. 
   The serio-comic family battle continues even while Shep and Miranda risk their future and their very lives attempting to find the crooks responsible for The Mammoth Murders.

  Edgar Allen Poe: The Murders in...

  "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. Writing the first true detective in fiction, Poe's Dupin originated many literary conventions which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter".
