Prussian in Peril

Daphne Hunt

Sinopse

Osiris may be descended from Egyptian Pharaoh cats, but even he’s not above solving a mystery ... With his new human owners Pepper Park and Lucas Havers, can they solve the case when an attractive female cat and her owner go missing while on holiday on the French Riviera?
 
After one innocent little vacation, my life gets turned upside down. I visit a quaint little British village and end up sort of dating a rich British billionaire who owns, Osiris, a cat that saved my life before a murderer would have had his second victim.
 
Naturally, Osiris adopted me as his and since I sort of have a crazy crush on Lucas, I’m not about to turn down an offer to vacation with him and Osiris in a fancy hotel on the French Riviera. But our plans to have a nice quiet vacation go out the window when we meet a young woman and her lovely Russian Blue Cat who she nicknamed “the Prussian”.
 
When our new friend and her furry companion go missing, a host of suspects pop up and the bodies start to drop around us. What’s a girl to do but solve a murder right?

The Musgrave Ritual - Sherlock...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"The Musgrave Ritual" is a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally published in Strand Magazine in 1919, and was collected later in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Unlike the majority of Holmes stories, the main narrator is not Doctor Watson, but Sherlock Holmes himself. With Watson providing an introduction, the story within a story is a classic example of a frame tale. It is one of the earliest recorded cases investigated by Holmes, and establishes his problem solving skills.
In the story, Holmes recounts to Watson the events arising after a visit from a university acquaintance, Reginald Musgrave. Musgrave visits Holmes after the disappearance of two of his domestic staff, Rachel Howells, a maid, and Richard Brunton, the longtime butler. The pair vanished after Musgrave had dismissed Brunton for secretly reading a family document, the Musgrave Ritual. The Ritual, which dates from the 17th century, is a riddle set in question/response form.

The Night Shift - A...

Gemma Rogers

The BRAND NEW pulse-pounding cat & mouse thriller from INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Gemma Rogers
How can one 12-hour night shift be so deadly?
I loved the anonymity, flexibility and solitude that working the night shift at Storage Queen gave me.
The unsociable hours paid well, helping me fund my university degree and giving me a quiet place to study while the world slept peacefully in their warm, cozy beds. It was the perfect job for me.
But that Friday night proved to be more than I bargained for when a man walked through the door, dragging a large suitcase.
My immediate instincts told me something was wrong.
That’s when my ordeal began.
I just had to make it through the night shift.
A pacy, heart stopping, page turning thriller for the fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
