Beschreibung

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell's 'A Dark Night's Work' is a gripping novel that delves into the themes of guilt, redemption, and the consequences of keeping dark secrets. Written in Gaskell's signature Victorian style, the book intricately weaves together elements of suspense and moral dilemmas, making it a compelling read for those interested in 19th-century literature. Set against the backdrop of a small English village, the novel explores the complexities of human nature and the impact of past actions on present lives. Gaskell's vivid descriptions and well-developed characters bring the narrative to life, engaging readers from start to finish. As a prominent figure in the Victorian literary scene, Gaskell's work reflects the societal concerns and moral values of her time. Her keen insight into human behavior and her ability to create thought-provoking narratives make 'A Dark Night's Work' a standout in her body of work. I highly recommend this novel to readers who enjoy exploring the psychological depths of the human experience and appreciate a well-crafted suspenseful plot.

    When Lily Locke receives a royal decree summoning her to the Kingdom of Crystalvia, she can hardly turn down the request; however, the invitation comes with a catch. When the queen begs Lily to crack a curse that has held their village captive for three years, Lily promises to do everything she can to free them—because, if she doesn’t, the kingdom will eventually languish… and disappear forever. But as Lily digs deeper into the mystery behind their endless winter, she finds the truth is a lot more than she bargained for. And when her father becomes involved, the situation turns more dangerous than ever. Still, only one thing is certain: if Lily can’t fix the curse before the clock runs out, someone will die… and her name is up next.

    Howard Swindle, news editor for the Dallas Morning News, is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and an Edgar Award nominee. Jitter Joint is a stunning novel of suspense which showcases his razor-sharp talent for creating character and mood.  
    Dallas homicide detective Jeb Quinlin has hit the end of booze boulevard. To keep his job, he must check into a residential treatment clinic. Jeb's road to recovery is jolted, however, when two murders occur in the facility. Each corpse carries a quote from the Alcoholics Anonymous program, and each is connected to some detail from Jeb's past. Soon Jeb begins to fear that he is the real target.  
    Jeb's dual battles--against the clever killer and his own alcoholism--keep the tension of Jitter Joint at a fever pitch. As the evidence falls into a terrifying pattern, narrator Richard Ferrone's masterful phrasing keeps pace with Swindle's dark story of psychological and physical revenge.
