Beschreibung

In "The Slave of Silence," Fred M. White captivates readers with a gripping narrative that explores the tumultuous intersection of desire and desperation amid societal constraints. Set against a backdrop of early 20th century England, the novel delves into the life of its protagonist, who grapples with the stifling silence imposed by taboo and the yearning for personal freedom. White's richly descriptive language and psychological depth evoke a poignant examination of unexpressed emotions and the far-reaching impact of societal judgment, situating the work within the literary context of Victorian-influenced realism that interrogates the human condition. Fred M. White, a prolific writer of his time, is well-placed to tackle themes of repression and societal expectation, drawing on his deep understanding of human psychology and the intricacies of social dynamics. His experiences as a journalist and playwright infused his narratives with a keen observational quality, enabling him to dissect social mores with a critical eye. The themes explored in "The Slave of Silence" resonate with White's own confrontations with convention and authority, imbuing the work with authentic emotional weight. This masterful tale of internal conflict is highly recommended for readers who appreciate literature that probes the depths of the human psyche. White's ability to engage with complex themes through vivid characters offers a rewarding journey into the heart of silence and its implications. This novel remains a thought-provoking exploration relevant to contemporary discussions on individuality and societal expectations.

    In London, 1666, drinking coffee can get you killed… 
    The case of Samuel Pepys’s missing pocket watch escalates rapidly when Eustace Blount, writer and wit, is found murdered in Rose’s Coffee House on The Strand. 
    Blount was a prig, a poseur and a parliamentarian – nobody liked him, not even his friends – and Pepys’s intrepid personal inquisitors, Abby Harcourt and Jacob Standish, find themselves with a suspect list as unwieldy as it is perplexing. 
    When their investigation leads to the nearby Gilded Bean coffee house, frequented by fervently royalist members of parliament, it becomes clear that a dangerous political game is afoot. Abby and Jacob face their most audacious challenge yet: 
    To break into Westminster Palace, at the very heart of English politics. The penalty, if discovered – is death. 
    The Samuel Pepys Mysteries bring 17th century England to life, in the company of the celebrated diarist himself, and his personal inquisitors, Abby and Jacob. If you love a fiendish mystery wrapped in vivid history, this series is for you.

    A thrilling literary fiction whodunit for fans of Delia Owens and Jacqueline Winspear 
     
     
     
    World War II is raging overseas, but life remains painfully quiet on the rugged New England fishing island of Fourth Cliff. With most of its able-bodied male inhabitants away in the service, the island is now home only to aged fishermen, concerned women and children, and second-rate soldiers guarding a low-priority military emplacement and camp for Italian POWs. 
     
     
     
    With her husband Archie, Fourth Cliff's beloved police captain, off fighting in the Marines, Mary Beth Swann steps into his role. Though a cop herself, she has to fight for the respect of Fourth Cliff's hardscrabble residents. And that's before a murdered POW surfaces in a fisherman's net, followed by more bodies. 
     
     
     
    Determined to find the killer, Swann must rely only on the help of a simple-minded deputy, a disgraced doctor, and a mob-connected mainlander to prove her worth to Fourth Cliff—and to herself. 
     
     
     
    In the tradition of Where the Crawdads Sing and the BBC's Foyle's War, Michael Oren's novel seizes the listener and doesn't let go until the very end.
