Luck of the Iris - A Village...

Nancy Warren

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

The Montevideo Brief - A Thomas...

J. H. Gelernter

A secret treaty will determine whether England can survive against Napoleon—Captain Grey races across the Atlantic to intercept a Spanish treasure fleet. 
 
 
 
Vienna—June 1804. At the glittering debut of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony, a Spanish diplomat meets with Captain Thomas Grey, agent of His Majesty's Secret Service. In exchange for a gigantic bribe, the Spaniard discloses Spain's most closely-held secret, the terms of  its San Ildefonso Treaty with France. Spain's neutrality in Napoleon's war on Britain is only a ruse to keep the British navy from attacking the last great treasure-armada, now gathering in South America. Spanish warships will depart the port of Montevideo carrying 2,000 tons of gold; when the gold is safely in Madrid, Spain will declare war on Britain, ally with France, and divide the British Empire between them. Britain's only hope is a preemptive strike—to cripple Spain by capturing the armada on the high seas. The responsibility of delivering that blow falls to Grey.

The Negro of the "Narcissus"

Joseph Conrad

Today, we're likely to react to the title of this novella, on whose 'sincerity of expression' Conrad was willing to stake his artisitic reputation, with visceral disgust. There is a sad irony in this, for Conrad's title originally alluded to a rather complex set of meanings, implying that, by virtue of our human nature, we all carry within the fragile vessel that is our idealised image of ourselves a darker being we find troubling, even despicable, but with whom we must eventually come to terms. Indeed, in the couse of this tale of a traumatic sea voyage from Bombay to London, Conrad suggests that in projecting their loathing of their own ambivalent feelings onto their (possibly dying) black shipmate James Wait, the crew of the Narcissus have considerable difficulty seeing the real James Wait behind their confused emotional reactions at all. The novella is remarkable for its knitting together of a stunningly well-realised physical drama involving an imperilled ship with a most discomforting psychodrama that draws in all twenty-six men who sail her.
