Sinopsis

Skin O' My Tooth introduces readers to a most unusual detective: a shrewd, eccentric lawyer affectionately nicknamed "Skin O' My Tooth" because of his lean appearance and relentless pursuit of justice. Told through the eyes of his devoted daughter, these stories showcase the barrister's uncanny ability to unravel baffling crimes and defend clients against seemingly hopeless odds. With a mix of legal drama, sharp wit, and clever deduction, Baroness Orczy crafts a series of mysteries that combine courtroom intrigue with classic detective storytelling. This collection stands as one of Orczy's most original contributions to the genre, offering both suspenseful puzzles and a unique, endearing detective figure.

    🧵 Quilt shop owner and fabric designer Penny Patchwork is launching her new line of charm packs when the fabric company's ruthless executive—known for stealing independent designers' ideas—is found dead in her shop, smothered by a mountain of pre-cut fabric squares. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Penny notices the charm packs have been deliberately mixed and the victim's business notes contain fabric swatches arranged in a coded quilt block pattern. With her fabric line launch in jeopardy and the quilting community taking sides, Penny must piece together this patchwork of deception. Assisted by her quilting guild and the handsome textile manufacturer analyzing fabric composition, Penny uncovers a scheme involving design theft, counterfeit fabric prints, and a plot to sabotage independent fabric designers. From suspicious print registration that reveals unauthorized copying to fabric grain that doesn't match production standards, every square tells a story. But when Penny discovers the victim was systematically stealing quilt patterns and fabric designs from small creators to mass-produce them, she realizes the killer is protecting creative rights more valuable than any fabric line. With the quilt market days away and the real thief still cutting deals, Penny must square the evidence before her own designs get permanently copied.

    “I absolutely loved reading this, edge of your seat gripping thriller . . . totally captivated me from beginning to end . . . fantastic.” —Goodreads reviewer, five starsIn England’s East Midlands, a harried police detective juggles multiple cases that soon reveal the depths of human depravity . . . DI Tim Yates has been following up for months on reports of missing farm machinery—with no success—when a local farmer and philanthropist is physically assaulted. Could this be a lead? If so, it doesn’t take Yates very far, since the victim, Jack Fovargue, refuses to accept any help. Meanwhile, there’s a more urgent case to attend to—a decapitated body has been found in the Fossdyke Canal. This may be the first clue that finally connects a series of recent disappearances: a paper girl out on her rounds; a prostitute abducted off the street; an immigrant woman who vanished after stepping off a bus. After frogmen find two more corpses in the canal, and Yates’s researcher wife notes a similarity to a long-ago case someone is already in prison for, the situation starts becoming as murky as the canal itself . . .
