Summary

F. Marion Crawford's *An American Politician* is a compelling exploration of the intricacies of American political life at the turn of the 20th century. With keen observation and rich character development, Crawford presents a narrative steeped in the complexities of ambition, morality, and the often murky waters of political maneuvering. The novel employs a vivid, descriptive literary style that captures the zeitgeist of the era, while utilizing dialogue that reflects the social currents and tensions prevalent at the time. This work stands as a critical examination of the American political landscape, making it both timely and timeless in its relevance. F. Marion Crawford, an American expatriate and a keen observer of society and politics, drew upon his extensive travels and experiences in both the United States and Europe to craft this intricate tale. His background in art and literature, coupled with his intimate understanding of political dynamics, allowed him to weave a narrative that is as much a commentary on the human condition as it is on the American political system. Crawford's unique vantage point, having lived abroad while maintaining a sharp interest in U.S. politics, profoundly influenced the themes found in this work. *An American Politician* is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of personal ambition and public service within the framework of political life. Those who appreciate historical fiction that delves into the moral complexities of its characters will find Crawford's insights both thought-provoking and resonant. This novel is not only a reflection of its time but also a timeless exploration of political ethics that continues to invite discussion today.

    The next instalment in the gripping Hopgood Hall cozy mystery series from bestselling author E V Hunter. 
    A tragic accident or an untimely death? 
    When Drew Hopgood’s brother, Frank dies whilst out climbing, it’s initially thought his death was simply a tragic accident. But when Frank’s much younger wife, Stella arrives at Hopgood Hall demanding half of Frank’s inheritance the Hopgoods and Alexi Ellis begin to suspect foul play... 
    Stella has no claim to Frank’s legacy, but she isn’t giving up easily. And with the reputation of Hopgood Hall still fragile, Alexi can’t afford to lose any more money because of Stella’s greed. 
    So Alexi, her partner Jack, and Cosmo of course, decide to dig deeper into Stella’s background. Just how did she meet Frank and were they really as in love as she claims? 
    As the trio investigate, they discover Stella has her own reasons for being back at Hopgood Hall. And rather than console the grieving widow, Alexi and Jack think they might need to look again at Frank’s tragic death – because rather than an accident this could have been a deadly fall – planned by his own wife!
