Synopsis

For a Windy City attorney, the clues to a triple murder lie somewhere between the sinking of the Titanic and the dead letter office.   Rodney Fairfaxx is influential and wealthy enough for his family to ignore the Chicago magnate’s one little quirk: Ever since his sweetheart sank with the Titanic three decades ago, he’s been anxiously awaiting her letter assuring him she’s dry, on the mend, and coming home soon. Now, attorney John J. Malone is defending the harmless eccentric against a charge of murder. The victims: three postmen, clubbed to death. The alleged motive: failure to deliver.   Malone’s good friend, socialite Helene Justus, has been close to the Fairfaxx family for years and she’s not buying it. However, her intuition may be as unreliable as the mail. The respectable clan yields a cluster of certified suspects—from Rodney’s crafty niece and nephew to the tight-lipped housekeeper to Rodney himself, who may not be as off the beam as everyone thinks. But as tensions rise and secrets are revealed, another murder sends Malone on an entirely different route.   With The Fourth Postman, author Craig Rice delivers “plot and people as wacky as ever, with . . . plenty of comedy and, surprisingly, much intriguing sleuthing. Verdict: Fun” (The Saturday Review of Literature).   The Fourth Postman is the 5th book in the John J. Malone Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

    Prettiest garden contest. How delightful…or deadly!  
    I thought judging the Willow Waters garden contest would be fun. A nice way to get to know a few more of my neighbors in this beautiful Cotswold village. I’d get to see how the best gardens grew, maybe even nab a few tips for my own garden. I did not expect the competition to be to the death. Literally.  
    I’m Peony Bellefleur, and I own Bewitching Blooms. I chose to be a florist for all the positive reasons you can imagine: people love flowers. They speak a language we all understand. Fresh blooms perk up an invalid, add celebration to a wedding, and welcome new babies (especially when I’ve added a bit of witch’s magic to my bouquets).  
    I agreed to judge the garden competition for the same reasons. Joy and happiness. Well, that was a mistake. 
    Between missing persons, interfering gnomes, and a full moon celebration that goes wrong, it’s been a busy time. Come join me and my unusual friends in my latest adventure.  
    Luck of the Iris is book four in the Village Flower Shop Cozy Mystery series. Each book can be listened to as a standalone, though it’s better to listen to them in order. There’s no violence, gore, or sex in these novels, just good clean murderous fun with some magically quirky characters

    Egyptian authorities reach out to Wolfgang and his team with a simple request: find the scroll, and protect the tomb.
