Sinopse

This issue, we have original mysteries from Janice Law (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and our BCW’s very own Ron Miller (who moonlights as our Art Director), plus a modern masterpiece by Gina Nelson (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Add a rare Golden Age mystery novel by James Hay, Jr. and we have quite a winning mix.
 
But wait, there’s more! No issue is complete without a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction side, we have a great story by British master Philip E. High, as well as tales by Harlan Ellison, Henry Slesar, and Stephen Marlowe. Our novel is an early classic by Jack Williamson.

    Murder on the farm? It's gravy for the gossip mill! 
     
    Thanksgiving in Cherry Glen was supposed to be perfect for Shiloh Bellamy. With lingering questions about her grandmother's inheritance finally resolved, Shiloh has reclaimed Bellamy Farm's lost acreage and is feeling at peace for the first time in years. She's thankful for her thriving farm, her budding romance with Sheriff Milan Penbrook, and even her drama-free relationship with her family—well, for now. 
     
    But the holiday feast takes a sinister turn when Shiloh's mischief-loving pug, Huckleberry, spooks the chickens and uncovers something far darker than buried treasure: human remains. The skeleton's decades-old secrets rattle Cherry Glen, threatening to tarnish the reputation of Shiloh's beloved late grandmother. But Shiloh won't let anyone drag her grandmother's name through the mud. Determined to protect her family's legacy, she dives headfirst into the mystery, uncovering long-hidden truths that some in Cherry Glen would rather keep buried. With tensions rising, secrets surfacing, and danger closing in, can Shiloh unearth the truth before the past claims one more victim? 
     
    Natural Barn Killer is a heartwarming yet suspenseful cozy mystery filled with quirky small-town charm, delightful farm antics, and a dash of holiday chaos.

    "The Adventure of the Dancing Men", a Sherlock Holmes story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle published as The Return of Sherlock Holmes in 1905. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" third in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories. This is one of only two Sherlock Holmes short stories where Holmes' client dies after seeking his help. The other is "The Five Orange Pips", part of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The original title was "The Dancing Men," when it was published as a short story in The Strand Magazine in December 1903.
    The story begins when Hilton Cubitt of Ridling Thorpe Manor in Norfolk visits Sherlock Holmes and gives him a piece of paper with the following mysterious sequence of stick figures. - Cubitt explains to Holmes and Dr. Watson that he has recently married an American woman named Elsie Patrick. Before the wedding, she had asked her husband-to-be never to ask about her past, as she had had some "very disagreeable associations" in her life, although she said that there was nothing that she was personally ashamed of. Their marriage had been a happy one until the messages began to arrive, first mailed from the United States and then appearing in the garden.
