On a cold, moonlit night in March 1873, a horrific double murder shattered the peace of Smutty-Nose Island, one of the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire. In this haunting true account, Celia Thaxter—a resident of the Shoals and one of the first responders to the tragedy—recounts the chilling events with vivid clarity and emotional depth. Through Thaxter’s eloquent prose, we come to know the victims: kind-hearted Norwegian immigrants whose peaceful, humble lives were suddenly ended by a man they had trusted as family. A Memorable Murder is more than a true-crime narrative—it is a poetic, harrowing lament for innocence lost, justice sought, and lives forever changed by one man’s calculated violence. Narrated with stark emotional resonance by Tony J. Martin, this audiobook revives one of New England’s most infamous crimes with historical precision and literary grace.Show book
Charles Parrott is proud of his work. Not everyone can be as successful as he is at robbing banks. His job as a bootlegger in 1958 gives him the skills behind the wheel to shake anyone who dares to try to catch him. He studies each robbery, using logistics, alibies and disguises. He loves to trick and fool the FBI, and it becomes a decade long game to him. It’s as if he was born for this profession. His love of racing and being a rodeo rider tells you what you need to know about what drives him. His wife, Reba Sue, is thought of as a straight arrow. Everyone thinks she’s a saint, but she isn’t. When his upstanding family gets dragged into his insane world, they will all stand by him. Most people in the Adair and McCurtain Counties of Oklahoma know that he’s robbing banks, but his generosity to the down and out brings protection and alibis that are solid. He’s their very own “Robin Hood,” and they are charmed by him. He has a rotating group of partners, taken from his circle of rodeo riders, former bootlegging buddies and childhood friends. Most of them are loyal. Some don’t last long. It’s not a job for the faint hearted. An Oklahoma FBI agent once said that he thought Parrott was one of the best bank robbers that had ever lived. By all accounts, his story should have assured his place among notorious bank robbers in American history, but he was left out in the cold. Now his story can be told, as only his daughter can tell it.Show book

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION 'METICULOUSLY RESEARCHED ... A GLORIOUSLY ENGAGING ROMP' JANICE HALLETT, THE SUNDAY TIMES 'IMMERSIVE AND COMPELLING' DAVID KYNASTON 'A PAGE-TURNER' ROBERT LACEY 'CAREFUL AND COMPELLING' KATE MORGAN 'YOU WILL READ IT IN ONE SITTING' MARC MULHOLLAND 'A REAL-LIFE GOLDEN-AGE CRIME NOVEL' SEAN O'CONNOR A brilliant narrative investigation into the 1920s case that inspired Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and Margery Allingham. On a bleak Tuesday morning in February 1921, 48-year-old Katharine Armstrong died in her bedroom on the first floor of an imposing Edwardian villa overlooking the rolling hills of the isolated borderlands between Wales and England. Within fifteen months of such a sad domestic tragedy, her husband, Herbert Rowse Armstrong, would be arrested, tried and hanged for poisoning her with arsenic, the only solicitor ever to be executed in England. Armstrong's story was retold again and again, decade after decade, in a thousand newspaper articles across the world, and may have also inspired the new breed of popular detective writers seeking to create a cunning criminal at the centre of their thrillers. With all the ingredients of a classic murder mystery, the case is a near-perfect whodunnit. But who, in fact, did it? Was Armstrong really a murderer? One hundred years after the execution, Agatha-Award shortlisted Stephen Bates examines and retells the story of the case, evoking the period and atmosphere of the early 1920s, and questioning the fatal judgement.Show book
