    Kat Normand, a seasoned portfolio manager of community associations, never expected to trade her busy career for the mysterious lakeside town of Blackwater Lake. But when the homeowners association offers her a six-figure salary, a cozy home, and the role of general manager, it feels too good to pass up—even if the HOA barely seems to exist online. Soon, Kat discovers her predecessor vanished without a trace, and the residents are harboring secrets they won’t easily share. With the help of her quirky assistant Babs and Jet, her loyal English Springer Spaniel (who may be more than he seems), Kat sets out to unravel the unsettling mysteries hiding beneath the town’s polished surface—before she disappears, too.

    'A problem is not necessarily unsolvable because it has remained unsolved.'
    
    A brilliantly gripping collection of short stories, The Mysterious Mr Quin showcases the Queen of Crime at her very best.
    
    Published in 1930 during the early stages of Christie's career, The Mysterious Mr Quin follows the enigmatic Harley Quin and his socialite friend, Mr Satterthwaite, as they unravel a series of thrilling mysteries. Whenever Mr Quin makes an appearance, with his quiet, unsettling and almost otherworldly nature, sinister truths and hidden pasts soon rise to the surface. With Satterthwaite's help, Quin hunts not only for clues and alibis, but also unveils deep rooted emotion, secrecy and the unfinished business of those involved to solve each of the unique cases at hand. An effortless blend of classic detection fiction with hints of the supernatural, Christie crafts an elegant, reflective and captivating anthology of tales where justice is achieved in the most unexpected of ways.
    Agatha Christie (1890 – 1976) was an English author. She was a prolific writer, most famous for her detective novels and short story collections which centred around the iconic characters of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Renowned as the 'Queen of Crime', she remains the bestselling novelist of all time, with her sales only second to the Bible.

    The "Gloria Scott" - Sherlock...

    "The Gloria Scott", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It is chronologically the earliest case in Sherlock Holmes canon. This story is related mainly by Holmes rather than Watson, and is the first case to which Holmes applied his powers of deduction, having treated it as a mere hobby until this time. This is one of the two Sherlock Holmes stories in which a protagonist is haunted by an old acquaintance for an old crime. The other is "The Boscombe Valley Mystery". It is also one of his many stories that deal with the fate of characters who return to England after having spent time abroad in the colonies of the British Empire.
    In his university days, Holmes spent a month with his friend, Victor Trevor, at Victor's father's estate in Norfolk. While there, Holmes amazed his host, Victor's father, who was a Justice of the Peace and a landowner. He had made his fortune in the goldfields in Australia. One of Holmes's deductions was that the elder Mr. Trevor was once connected with someone with the initials "J. A." whom he wanted to forget. His host then passed out on the table. Holmes had touched a sore spot, and possibly did not believe the old man's explanation once he had come back to himself that J. A. had been an old lover.
