Beschreibung

An orphaned woman searches for the truth about her past before she’s robbed of a future in this classic gothic mystery by a New York Times bestseller. 
 
Haskell Maloney was cruelly orphaned when she was just a baby. Now, twenty-two years later, she receives confirmation of the bitter truth she always suspected: the fallen war hero whose name she shares was not her father. Her quest for answers—and a personal history—brings Haskell to the famed Oriental Institute in Chicago, a city in which her mother lived and thrived before her strange, untimely death. But by rummaging around in the darkness, Haskell’s exposing much more than she bargained for. And now she’s racing against the clock to discover who she really is . . . and why someone is suddenly determined to kill her.

    I'm all set for the ultimate winter escape: an adults-only cruise with my sweetheart Ezra, and my best friends Gilly and Pippa, along with their husbands. We are ready to hit the high seas for sun, fun, and definitely no crime-solving. The plan is simple . . . cocktails, sunsets, and endless laughter.

    When one of our tablemates ends up face down in the hydrotherapy pool, it's looking more and more likely his suspicious death will be declared an accidental drowning. 
     
     
     
    But my psychic nose says otherwise—this is murder. 
     
     
     
    Now, with the clock ticking before we reach foreign soil, I'll have to use my aroma mojo to sniff out the truth. It looks like it's up to us to unravel the mystery before the killer gets away with murder. 
     
     
     
    So much for smooth sailing!

    Eighteen tales of horror delve into the world of the horror audio drama Wrought of Amber. 
    PRINCESS EMERALD IS GONE 
    Twelve-year-old actress Emily Carmichael was the star of the children's TV show, Virtue Vista Valley, until she went missing on a Saturday afternoon in 2009. Four days later, police found her remains on the property of Wesley Graveline, one of Virtue Vista Valley's writers. Graveline confessed and was executed, and the case was closed. More than a decade later, Alex Carmichael questioned the official story of her sister's death with her podcast Wrought of Amber and shed light on the unexplored corners of her family's tragic loss. 
    This collection of stories expands the story to dark corners beyond Alex's reach. 
    Set in the world of Wrought of Amber and Weeping Cedars, these eighteen short stories add to Alex's version of events by uncovering secrets she could never know and staring into darkness she could never imagine. Shards of Amber includes the tales of a killer who poses his victims, a model train set that appears mysteriously in an office lobby, an actor who must endure dreams of drowning, and the tale of an aspiring young writer who finds something unexpected in the West Virginia woods. 
    Join the search for Emily Carmichael, but be careful not to cut yourself on the shards.

    "The Willows" is a novella by English author Algernon Blackwood, originally published as part of his 1907 collection The Listener and Other Stories. It is one of Blackwood's best known works and has been influential on a number of later writers. Horror author H.P. Lovecraft considered it to be the finest supernatural tale in English literature. "The Willows" is an example of early modern horror and is connected within the literary tradition of weird fiction.Two friends are midway on a canoe trip down the Danube River. Throughout the story Blackwood personifies the surrounding environment—river, sun, wind—and imbues them with a powerful and ultimately threatening character. Most ominous are the masses of dense, desultory, menacing willows, which "moved of their own will as though alive, and they touched, by some incalculable method, my own keen sense of the horrible."
