Sinopsis

DCI's Jacob Vance and Brittany Shepherd are thrust into one of their most baffling cases yet: a series of gruesome murders that seem to be connected to London’s rich literary history.
 
Theatrical and chilling, the murders are executed with macabre flair, with each victim bearing the name of a character from a famous book. The murderer is no ordinary psychopath, and his brilliant countermoves and false identities constantly keep Vance and his team on their toes.
 
In a deadly game of cat and mouse, can Vance and Shepherd outwit the maniacal killer before another life is lost?
 
A thrilling blend of mystery and psychological drama, THE LONDON BIBLIOPHILE MURDERS is the seventh book in John Broughton's Vance And Shepherd Mysteries series.

    The Musgrave Ritual - Sherlock...

    "The Musgrave Ritual" is a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally published in Strand Magazine in 1919, and was collected later in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Unlike the majority of Holmes stories, the main narrator is not Doctor Watson, but Sherlock Holmes himself. With Watson providing an introduction, the story within a story is a classic example of a frame tale. It is one of the earliest recorded cases investigated by Holmes, and establishes his problem solving skills.
    In the story, Holmes recounts to Watson the events arising after a visit from a university acquaintance, Reginald Musgrave. Musgrave visits Holmes after the disappearance of two of his domestic staff, Rachel Howells, a maid, and Richard Brunton, the longtime butler. The pair vanished after Musgrave had dismissed Brunton for secretly reading a family document, the Musgrave Ritual. The Ritual, which dates from the 17th century, is a riddle set in question/response form.

    In this fun and sassy new mystery, USA Today bestselling author Susan McBride introduces us to Helen Evans, a modern-day Miss Marple who must expose a murderer in a town full of suspects! 
     
     
     
    When Milton Grone turns up dead in tiny River Bend, Illinois, nearly all the would-be suspects have the perfect alibi: attending Thursday night's town meeting. And as Milton was hardly beloved, plenty of folks had a reason to do him in . . .  
     
     
     
    Grone's next-door neighbor was furious about a fence that encroached on her property, among other wicked deeds. A pair of zealous tree huggers wanted Grone's hide for selling a parcel of pristine land to a water park. Grone's current and ex-wife both wanted a cut of the profits, which Grone seemed unwilling to share. Even the town preacher knew Grone's soul was beyond saving. 
     
     
     
    Though most of River Bend would rather reward the killer than hang him, Sheriff Biddle's not about to let this one go . . . and neither is Helen Evans. With a penchant for puzzles and an ear for innuendo, Helen quickly fingers the culprit before Biddle puts the wrong suspect in jail.
