  "The Adventure of the Creeping Man" (1923) is one of 12 Sherlock Holmes short stories (56 total) by Arthur Conan Doyle in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes first published in Strand Magazine October 1921 - April 1927.
  A man named Trevor Bennett comes to Holmes with a most unusual problem. He is Professor Presbury's personal secretary, and Mr. Bennett is also engaged to the professor's only daughter, Edith. Professor Presbury is himself engaged to a young lady, Alice Morphy, a colleague's daughter, although he himself is already 61 years of age. Their impending marriage does not seem to have caused a great scandal, so that is not Mr Bennett's problem. Nonetheless, the trouble seems to have begun at about the time of Professor Presbury's and Alice's engagement. First, the professor suddenly left home for a fortnight without telling anyone where he was going. He returned looking rather travel-worn, and it was only through a letter from a friend sent to Mr Bennett that the family learnt that Professor Presbury had been to Prague.

  Agatha Christie - the Queen of Crime and the world's best selling author - created dozens of detective novels and over a hundred short stories in her long and storied career, but few of her characters are as beloved and admired as the mild-mannered but incisively brilliant amateur sleuth, Miss Jane Marple. 
  First introduced in 1927 in the short story "The Tuesday Night Club" (the first chapter of this volume), Miss Marple would become a favorite with readers and would appear in a dozen novels and over twenty short stories. In each chapter of this collection, Miss Marple attends a regular meeting of her closest friends in the village of St. Mary Mead, where the assembled guests are presented with a new mystery to unravel each week. Unsurprisingly, it is the keen-eyed and insightful Miss Marple who somehow manages to reveal the truth behind these enigmatic puzzles. 
  "The Miss Marple Short Story Collection, Volume I" contains the first ten Miss Marple stories, each of them published between 1927 and 1930. They are presented here in their original and unabridged format and have been narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols.

  The second in a charming new cozy series from Elizabeth Penney, set in an English bookshop and following Molly Kimball, who has a habit of bookmarking trouble . . . 
   
   
   
  Lately, Molly has been feeling that she might have fallen into a fairy tale: she's reinvigorated the family bookshop Thomas Marlowe—Manuscripts and Folios, made friends in her new home of Cambridge, England, and is even developing a bit of a romance with Kieran—a bike shop owner with a somewhat intimidating family pedigree. 
   
   
   
  Having recently discovered The Strawberry Girls, a classic children's tale, Molly is thrilled to learn the author, Iona York, lives nearby. But while visiting the famous author at her lovely cottage in nearby Hazelhurst, an old acquaintance of Iona's tumbles off her roof to his death. 
   
   
   
  Then, when one of Iona's daughters—an inspiration for the original Strawberry Girls—goes missing, Molly begins to worry this story might be more Brothers Grimm than happily-ever-after. Especially after Molly learns about the mysterious long-ago death of Iona's husband and coauthor of The Strawberry Girls . . . could past and present crimes be linked? Molly must put the clues together before someone turns this sweet tale sour.
