Sinossi

All eight Braxton Campus Mysteries by James J. Cudney, now available in one volume. Set in a cozy, secluded Pennsylvania village full of quirky, sarcastic and nosy residents, this series will be a delight to anyone who loves a good mystery!
 
Academic Curveball: When Kellan Ayrwick returns home for his father’s retirement, he finds a dead body in Diamond Hall’s stairwell. Unfortunately, Kellan has a connection to the victim, and so do several members of his family. But could one of them be guilty of murder?
 
Broken Heart Attack: When one of Nana D's buddies dies of an apparent heart attack during the dress rehearsal of King Lear, Nana D's suspicions rise and she asks Kellan to investigate the death. But can Kellan find the killer, or will he get caught up his own stage fright?
 
Flower Power Trip: At a masquerade ball to raise money for renovations to Memorial Library, Kellan finds a dead body dressed in a Dr. Evil costume. Between the murder, a special flower exhibit and strange postcards arriving each week, Kellan can’t decide which mystery in his life should take priority. Did one of Maggie’s sisters kill the guest, who’d been staying at the Roarke and Daughters Inn, or does the victim have a closer connection to someone else at Braxton College?
 
Mistaken Identity Crisis: A clever thief with a sinister calling card has invaded Braxton campus. When a missing ruby, and a body, are discovered at the campus, Kellan must investigate the killer's motive to protect his brother. And as the summer heat begins to settle in Wharton County, a couple more surprises are also in store.
 
Haunted House Ghost: It’s Halloween, and excitement is brewing in Braxton to carve jack-o’-lanterns, go on haunted hayrides, and race through the spooky corn maze at the Fall Festival. While Kellan and April dance around the chemistry sparking between them, a suspicious accident occurs at the Fall Festival. But can Kellan capture the elusive killer - and placate a revenge-seeking ghost?
 
Frozen Stiff Drink: A winter blizzard barrels toward Wharton County with a vengeance. After Nana D disappears after visiting a patient, a trail of confusion is left behind. Between locating Nana D and solving the scandalous murder of another prominent Braxton citizen, Kellan and April’s worlds explode with more turmoil than they can handle. It seems like the suspicious deaths happening around town aren't going to end anytime soon.
 
Legally Blind Luck: Someone has discovered a cursed talisman, and a rogue government agent will stop at nothing to retrieve the heirloom. Unfortunately, it has already changed hands and found its way on campus. Moments before Braxton’s controversial art exhibition opens, Kellan stumbles upon another murder victim, and it appears he might be next on the avenger’s list. Can Kellan protect the talisman's true heir and prevent the killer’s nefarious plan?
 
Sleigh Bell Tower:  After a hotel magnate is found dead during the campus holiday party, long-lost family members seem to be anxious to keep their secrets, complicating Sheriff Montague's ability to determine the murderer’s true motive. Even Kellan is forced to cast doubt on his friends and colleagues. But is it possible that one of them committed the ultimate crime?

    Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London.  She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12.  Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles. 
     
    In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read.  This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous.  Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage.  Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing.  Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.  
     
    Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day. 
     
    In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off.  In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women.  From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892.  During this relationship other women also entered and left her life.  Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology.  Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.  
     
    To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds. 
     
    After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare.  She was 60.  
     
    In this rural story a man is inspecting schools in the district of an old and now fabulously rich university friend.  When they finally meet a dark secret is revealed to both of them.
