Sinopse

Once again we have an eclectic mix of stories new and old. Leading off the pack is an original tale by Andrew Welsh-Huggins, “Digging In,” as a couple goes to great lengths to save their marriage. It was acquired for BCW by editor Michael Bracken. Barb Goffman found a real crime-story treat by John Lantigua. And we have a novel by Stephen Marlowe, a solve-it-yourself short by Hal Charles, and a classic historical story (yes, another Western—but it’s also a mystery) by W.C. Tuttle.
 
On the science fiction and fantasy end of things, there are two “brain” stories—John W. Campbell’s planet-hopping space opera, “The Brain Pirates” and Malcolm Jameson’s “Brains for Bricks.” Nelson Bond’s Lancelot Biggs space-opera hero returns to save the day in “Where Are You, Mr. Biggs?” And one of the kings of space opera, Edmond Hamilton, is back with a change-of-pace fantasy from Weird Tales. Dorothy C. Quick, another WT alum, also contributes a fantasy. Great classic reading.
 
Here's the lineup:

    AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP. 
    The Sisters of the Abbey of the Sacred Heart receive a generous but strange bequest. Named specifically, six nuns must spend two weeks at a rustic, off-the-grid lodge in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon. Should any one of them at any time during the two weeks leave the property they will forfeit the 200-acre gift. 
    Sounds easy enough. 
    The question isn't, can they hold out; it is, will any of them survive. 
    THE PAST WILL DO MORE THAN HAUNT YOU. IT WILL KILL YOU.

    Too many people loved Kelly Rowland. One of them killed her, but was it the man in prison for her murder? 
     
    Gethin Grey is back in the game. His wife may have left him and he's struggling with life as a single father, but now he's got his biggest case in years. The brutal murder of a young woman called Kelly Rowland has been the talk of the South Wales valleys. Even the conviction of a neighbour, a builder called Morgan Hopkins, failed to stop the gossip. There were too many other suspects still around, among them a pair of coppers: brother and sister. 
     
    So Gethin was delighted when Morgan's family stumped up the money to pay him and his Last Resort Legals team to reinvestigate the case. But when a new lead takes him undercover into a support group for recovering addicts, Gethin has to confront his own demons. 
     
    Moving from the former mining towns of the valleys to the shiny new waterfront developments of Cardiff, taking in adult puppet shows and piercing parlors, derelict mines and country clubs, Grey In The Dark lays bare a world in which sex and money collide and everyone has their secrets.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    In Martha's Vineyard, 50-year-old governess Mary Wilcox expects to nurture young minds, not unearth dark family secrets. 
    
    But as the Bellamy estate's harvest season buzzes with activity, Mary stumbles upon diaries veiled in dust and scandal, revealing forbidden passions that have fermented like the wines around her. 
    
    As she delves deeper into the past, sabotage strikes at the heart of the Bellamy vineyards, and Mary must discern whether these echoes of yesteryears are warnings—or if history's poisonous roots are sprouting once more beneath her feet. 
    
    In this tale where every whisper through the grapevines might hold a clue or a threat, can Mary trust her instincts to disentangle truth from treachery before the estate's lush facade wilts to reveal decay?
    
     “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
