  Agatha Christie

  In 1925, Agatha Christie - the Queen of Crime - introduced Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent to the world when she released "The Secret of Chimneys," a fast-paced thriller that takes place at the grand English estate where Bundle lives with her aristocratic family. 
  When a murder occurs at the estate, Scotland Yard sends the formidable and brilliant Superintendent Battle to unravel the mystery and Bundle - described as a 1920's "It Girl" - is drawn into the investigation, much to Battle's chagrin. 
  Bundle proves to be an adroit amateur sleuth, however, and manages to assist Battle in his investigation so that when he returns to Chimneys to explore a second murder in "The Seven Dials Mystery" (1929), Battle is far less reluctant to let Bundle meddle in the inquiry and she soon helps expose a secret and anonymous cabal of plotters. 
  Whip-smart, capable and indefatigable, Bundle Brent is among Agatha Christie's finest creations and both of her novels are presented here in their original and unabridged format.  These books were narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols, best known for her narration of Agatha Christie's "Murder at the Vicarage," Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" as well as the complete works of Jane Austen.

  Lovecraft Under the Influence -...

  H. P. Lovecraft

  Five fantastical tales from the mind of H. P. Lovecraft that center around a theme of illicit substances: some used to transcend the veil of reality, some used to keep one's sanity in check. All of the stories are quite psychedelic and unreal, quite mystical, and quite frightening. So, turn off the lights, get lit, and come with us on this long strange trip. Stories include "Azathoth", "Dagon", "Ex Oblivione", "Celephais", and "Hypnos".  
  Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American writer of weird, science, fantasy, and horror fiction. He is best known for his creation of the Cthulhu Mythos. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft spent most of his life in New England. Lovecraft's literary corpus is based around the idea of cosmicism, which was simultaneously his personal philosophy and the main theme of his fiction. Cosmicism posits that humanity is an insignificant part of the cosmos, and could be swept away at any moment. He incorporated fantasy and science fiction elements into his stories, representing the perceived fragility of anthropocentrism. This was tied to his ambivalent views on knowledge. His works were largely set in a fictionalized version of New England. Civilizational decline also plays a major role in his works, as he believed that the West was in decline during his lifetime.

  The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson

  Samuel Clemens

  In one of his later novels, the master storyteller spins a tale of two children switched at infancy. A slave takes on the identity of master and heir while the rightful heir is condemned to live the life of a slave. Twain uses this vehicle to explore themes of nature vs. nurture, racial bigotry and moral relativism. The case of mistaken identity is a theme that Twain explored also in THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER; in THE TRAGEDY OF PUDD'NHEAD WILSON he turns the theme into a well-crafted detective story. It is unfortunate that this is one of Twain's lesser known works as it is one of his most enjoyable reads.

  Millie and the crew on board Siren of the Seas have their hands full when a group of cowboys and cowgirls board their ship for an action-packed, fun-filled cruise. Andy Walker, the ship’s cruise director, is pulling out all the stops since one of the passengers, Colt Kenworth, has close ties to Majestic Cruise Lines’ CEO, Ted Danvers. 
  The cowboys are spending big bucks on lavish parties and special events including a bull riding competition. Andy has assigned Millie to oversee their events and the cruise starts out smoothly until one of the cowboys takes a hard fall after being thrown from a mechanical bull. 
  Brushing it off, the man refuses to be checked out at the medical center. Within hours he’s dead. Unfortunately, the deceased is the passenger with close ties to Ted Danvers and is also part of a powerful and wealthy family. Suspicions about why the man sustained deadly injuries soon swirl and Danvers dispatches staff from corporate to conduct an investigation of their own. 
  Rumor has it there could be a major shakeup among the officers and crew onboard Siren of the Seas if they are found negligent. For Millie, it’s a race against time to figure out if the cowboy recklessly put his life in danger or if something much more sinister is afoot.

  Navy SEAL K-9 handler Beau “Danger” Maddox is at the top of his game—until an op goes south, leaving him physically and mentally scarred. Separated from the Navy, he’s determined to requalify as operational and get back in the action so he can take down the deadly South American cartel that killed his team. The last thing he needs is a distraction in the form of a beautiful new neighbor and her dog… 
  Trafficking survivor Paisley Reyna became a trauma counselor to help others after a harrowing captivity at the hands of the notorious Guerrero Cartel. When she unexpectedly inherits her cousin’s home and retired military working dog, Riot, she seizes the chance to eke out a quiet life in a small town in Texas. However, the Dutch shepherd upends her plans, destroys her belongings, and repeatedly escapes next door to the intense former SEAL, who poses a threat to her peace—and maybe even her heart. 
  When the local sheriff asks for Danger’s expertise and Paisley’s dog to intercept a trafficking deal, they’re quickly caught up in a battle against the very cartel that marked both their souls. Along with a paramilitary team, they plunge deeper and deeper into the Venezuelan jungle—all too aware that making it out alive a second time will take nothing short of a miracle.
