  Claude Monet captured light on the canvas in a way that changed art forever. But his own life held dark secrets. 
  In 1914, on the eve of World War I, Claude Monet is going blind and has given up painting. His daughter-in-law, Blanche, painter herself, has come to care for Claude after the death of his son (and her husband) and is battling her own grief and despair. Then Georges Clemenceau, former prime minister of France and one of Claude’s closest friends, challenges Claude to create a monumental series of paintings: the famous Water Lily Cycle. That same day, Blanche finds a letter accusing Claude of murdering his first wife, Camille. This sends Blanche into a tailspin: Could she have devoted her life to a murderer? She vows to discover the truth. 
  In 1866, Camille Doncieux models for Claude. Their love is immediate—and forbidden. When Claude’s father discovers Camille’s pregnancy, the couple is cut off and penniless. But poverty doesn’t temper Claude’s ambition, and his talent soon makes him the face of the controversial new Impressionist movement. With fame comes temptation that threatens their family, and the changing dynamics force them to make choices that could come at a terrible cost. 
  In the end, Blanche discovers not only the surprising truth about Camille, but also comes to understand for the first time the source of Claude Monet’s genius.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON 
  The case of the stolen Pianoforte. 
   
  This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same. 
   
  This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only $1.25 cents, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
   
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute. 
   
  The story itself runs to about 5 minutes 30 seconds and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice. 
   
  The story involves the the disappearance of a PianoForte piano used to teach the son, Marmaduke, the son of a wealthy industrialist called Sir Edwin Warwick who lives in a grand mansion within sight of Buckingham Palace in London in the late 1900's. Marmaduke had grown weary of piano lessons and arranged for two older boys to take it away unbeknown to his father. 
  Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery, recovers the piano back to Sir Edwin and is handsomely rewarded and goes onto his next case. 
  The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of approximately the same age around 10 years old due to the characters involved. 
   
  I do hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

  'Brilliant ... Think Miss Marple with a little more of an edge' Michael Jecks, author of The Last Templar
  
  
  Juno Browne is a self-appointed Domestic Goddess. From cleaning to dog-walking to caring for the elderly, she flits around the picturesque town of Ashburton in her trusty van ready to turn her hand to anything. And all too often the 'anything' happens to be murder...
  
  In book 1, Dead in Devon, Juno takes on a new client, Old Nick, but little does she expect to be pulled into the shady world of antique dealing and find herself in the middle of a murder investigation. And, if she's not careful, she'll be the next victim, too.
  
  In the next instalment, Dead on Dartmoor, Juno becomes embroiled in the death of a man who was apparently the victim of a bizarre accident. But this death is not the only one to have occurred at Moorworthy Chase, and Juno is soon convinced that something is very wrong at Moorworthy...
  From Devon with Death, Ashburton's mythical blood-drinking demon, Cutty Dyer, is blamed for what might have been a practical joke in poor taste, but then the body of a woman is discovered by the river and it becomes clear that a killer has taken on Cutty's identity.
  
  In book 4, The Dartmoor Murders, when Juno purchases a wardrobe to stock in her fledgling antiques store, she doesn't expect to find a dead body inside. With another suspicious death, the hunt for a double murderer is on.
  
  'Absolutely perfect for fans of M. C. Beaton' Kate Rhodes, author of Devil's Table

  Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent.  Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men.   
  In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne.   
  After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire.  She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness. 
  During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883.  She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge. 
  Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life.   
  Louisa Baldwin died in 1925.
