Sinopse

“Vintage Cain . . . it’s all here—the big money, the unusual circumstances, the spare, tight style, and the staccato dialogue.” —The Miami Herald 
 
Since his father died, every Saturday night has been the same for Dave and his mother. She starts to talk, weaving aimless, weird fantasies about get-rich-quick schemes that never amount to anything. But when,  finally, she is silent, Dave becomes afraid. Because his mother has a way of getting very close that is repellent and appealing all at once, and he’s terrified of where it might lead . . .   
 
One Saturday, a noise outside breaks the silence. A hijacker has parachuted from a stolen plane with a parachute, a hundred thousand dollars in cash, and one very frightened stewardess. Against all the odds, the thief thinks he’s gotten away with it. But he doesn’t know just what Dave’s mother will do for an easy payday—and a chance to make her son a happy man… 
 
“[Cain is] one of the greats of American noir.” —The Guardian

    ⚰️ When the reclusive town historian is found dead in the archives of the local museum, librarian and puzzle enthusiast Eliza Riddle discovers the scene is staged to look like an accident—but she spots the clues that don't add up. The victim left behind one last cryptic message: a vintage map of their small New England town, marked with symbols only Eliza can decipher. Teaming up with the victim's grandson, a skeptical journalist returning home after decades away, and her clever rabbit, Poe, Eliza follows a trail of historical riddles that lead deep into the town's buried past. Each clue reveals another layer of deception, from long-lost family fortunes and Prohibition-era secrets to modern-day blackmail. But the killer is still watching, and they're playing a deadly game of their own. Can Eliza solve the final riddle before she becomes the Reaper's next victim?

    When a rash of poisoned pen letters envelops their sleepy English village, Beryl and Edwina, the delightfully mismatched friends and sleuths-of-a-certain-age, step up to stamp out the evil-minded epistles in Jessica Ellicott’s sixth historical mystery set in the wake of WWI. 
     
    What began for two dear if very different friends—an American adventuress and a prim and proper Brit—as a creative response to the lean times following the Great War has evolved into a respectable private enquiry business. So much so that  
    Constable Gibbs calls upon Beryl and Edwina to solve a curious campaign of character assassination. 
     
    A series of anonymous accusations sent via post have set friend against friend and neighbor against neighbor. In her new position as magistrate, Edwina has already had to settle one dispute that led to fisticuffs. Even Beryl has received a poison  
    pen letter, and while she finds its message preposterous and laughable, others are taking the missives to heart. Their headstrong housekeeper Beddoes is ready to resign and one villager has attempted to take her own life. 
     
    The disruption of the peace goes far beyond malicious mischief when another villager is murdered. Now it’s up to the intrepid sleuths to read between the lines and narrow down the suspects to identify the lethal letter writer and ensure that justice is delivered …

    This one wore a flour-dusted apron and made cinnamon buns the whole town craved.

    And now, with death at his heels, he’s telling me everything. 
    Everyone has a final secret. I collect them. 
    These are the behind-the-scenes confessions that don’t make it into the Asylum Confession books, the ones I hear but wasn’t sure I’d share.  
    Well, now I am.  
    And you get to hear them. 
    One confession at a time. 
    Welcome to Only Jack Knows.
