  Can Fiona catch a killer and find a decent cup of tea before her mustache wax melts? 
  1917. New York. 
  Notorious spy, Fredrick Fredricks, has invited Fiona to Carnegie Hall to hear a famous soprano. It’s an opportunity the War Office can’t turn down. Fiona and Clifford are soon on their way, but not before Fiona is saddled with chaperon duties for Captain Hall’s niece. Is Fiona a spy or a glorified babysitter? 
  From the minute Fiona meets the soprano aboard the RMS Adriatic it’s treble on the high C’s. Fiona sees something—or someone—thrown overboard, and then she overhears a chemist plotting in German with one of her own countrymen! 
  And the trouble doesn’t stop when they disembark. 
  Soon Fiona is doing time with a group of suffragettes and investigating America’s most impressive inventor Thomas Edison. 
  When her number one suspect turns up dead at the opera and Fredrick Fredricks is caught red-handed, it looks like it’s finally curtains for the notorious spy. 
  But all the evidence points to his innocence. Will Fiona change her tune and clear her nemesis’ name? Or will she do her duty? And just what is she going to do with the pesky Kitty Lane? Not to mention swoon-worthy Archie Somersby . . . 
  If Fiona’s going to come out on top, she’s going to have to make the most difficult decision of her life: the choice between her head and her heart. 
  An addictive murder mystery that will have you rooting for everyone's beloved sleuth. Perfect for fans of Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie.

  My new alpha did the impossible. He freed my hobbled wolf. 
   
   
   
  And though I've craved a pack and an alpha since I was a rejected kid, I rebel against being anything less than his equal—even as my wolf worships the very ground he walks on. It makes for an interesting dynamic. 
   
   
   
  Flung headfirst into the supernaturals' world, I am no longer a lonely, agonized outcast running from the moon. My power is growing, I have amazing people around me, and the grateful mayor has set me up with an office and a legitimate job. 
   
   
   
  For a minute, everything is quiet. Too quiet. Even the demon seems to have disappeared. And all that peace is just a little unsettling. 
   
   
   
  But then a human hires me to go after the vampires—specifically the county master—and my world explodes into chaos. 
   
   
   
  Good thing I like chaos. 
   
   
   
  But when the demon returns with a vengeance, the council makes me an offer I don't want to refuse, and an infamous and scary as hell hunter blows into my life, the peace and quiet starts looking pretty damn good . . .

  Originally entitled A frutefull pleasaunt, and wittie worke of the beste state of publique weale, & of the newe yle, called Utopia: written in Latine, by ... Syr Thomas More knyght, and translated into Englishe by Raphe Robynson ...The first book tells of the traveller Raphael Hythloday, to whom More is introduced in Antwerp. The second book consists of Hythloday's description of the island and people of Utopia, their customs, laws, religions, economy, language and relations with other nations. Hythloday portrays Utopia as an idealised state, where all property is common to all the people and money does not exist within its bounds, thus, he argues, removing all poverty,  hunger and fear, and most criminal acts. More himself appears unconvinced by some of his narrator's arguments.This is recorded from a reprint of the 1556 Robinson translation, with a foreword by William Morris. (Summary by Ruth Golding)

  Madoc Griffiths did the right thing when he let Levi go, he knows he did, but if it was the right thing, then why can't he move on? Every night he dreams about Levi; every day he misses him. But Levi is young, and Madoc will not stand in the way of Levi following his dreams.

But can he stand to be with his lover for two weeks and then let him leave to fight a war?
