Beschreibung

"Tom Sawyer, Detective" by Mark Twain is a clever and entertaining short novel that blends mystery, humor, and courtroom drama with the familiar charm of Twain's beloved characters. Serving as a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Tom Sawyer Abroad, this story places Tom Sawyer in the role of an amateur detective, inspired by the popular crime fiction of the late 19th century.

Narrated by Huck Finn, the tale revolves around a shocking murder in a rural Arkansas community. When Tom's uncle is accused of the crime, Tom steps in to unravel the mystery, using keen observation, logical reasoning, and dramatic flair. As the story builds toward a tense courtroom climax, Twain playfully parodies detective novels while delivering a genuinely engaging mystery.

True to form, Tom approaches his role with confidence and theatrical enthusiasm, while Huck provides a grounded, plainspoken counterbalance. Their contrasting personalities add humor and depth to the investigation, making the story both amusing and suspenseful.

Beyond the mystery itself, Tom Sawyer, Detective reflects Twain's interest in justice, truth, and the fallibility of legal systems. Though lighter and shorter than Twain's major novels, the book showcases his skill at blending genre fiction with satire and character-driven storytelling.

Accessible, fast-paced, and full of wit, Tom Sawyer, Detective is an enjoyable read for fans of classic mysteries, young readers, and anyone who delights in seeing Mark Twain's iconic characters in new and unexpected roles.

    From a brilliant new voice, Welcome to the Game is a gripping thriller that races through Motor City at a heart-stopping pace as its protagonists swerve to avoid danger at every turn Craig Henderson screeches onto the scene with this fast-paced debut starring ex-rally driver Spencer Burnham. 
     
    Having moved his family from England to Detroit and opened a foreign car dealership, Spencer’s life was derailed by the death of his beloved wife. Now disconnected from his young daughter and losing control of the cocktail of drugs and alcohol that gets him through the day, he only just keeps Child Protective Services at bay while his business teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. Then he has a seemingly chance encounter with a charismatic but lethal gangster, Dominic McGrath. 
     
    Feeling the squeeze from informants, the rise of tech surveillance, and a hotshot detective who’s made busting him a personal crusade, McGrath’s been planning the last heist that would allow a comfortable retirement, provided he can find a very special type of driver—one who’s capable, trustworthy . . . and naïve. 
     
    Spencer quickly proves himself behind the wheel, with his innate sense of timing and precise, high-speed maneuvers. And McGrath even pays cash, lots of it. But it comes at a price; Spencer finds himself playing in an arena where rookies don’t last long. Wising up to the ruthlessness behind McGrath’s charming façade, he tries to break free, but McGrath has too much invested to allow him to leave. 
     
    As the city swelters in a heat wave, the two men apply their considerable talents to besting each other, while mistakenly assuming they have only each other to beat.

    New York Times bestselling author M. C. Beaton’s cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin―now the star of a hit TV show―is back on the case again. 
    The idyllic Cotswolds village of Thirk Magna is best known for the medieval church of St. Ethelred and its bells, which are the pride and glory of the whole community. 
    As the bell-ringers get ready for the visit of the dashing Bishop Peter Salver-Hinkley, the whole village is thrown into a frenzy. Meanwhile, Agatha convinces one of the bell-ringers, the charming lawyer Julian Brody, to hire her to investigate the mystery of the Bishop’s ex-fiancée: a local heiress, Jennifer Toynby, who went missing years ago and whose body was never found … 
    Meanwhile, the bodies in the village just keep on piling up: The corpse of Larry Jensen, a local policeman, is discovered in the crypt. Millicent Dupin, one of a pair of bell-ringing identical twins, is murdered near the church. And Terry Fletcher, a journalist and (briefly) Agatha’s lover, is found dead in her sitting room! Agatha widens her investigation and very soon her main suspect is the handsome Bishop himself. But could he really be behind this series of violent killings, or is it someone who wants to bring him—and his reputation—down?

    When the two men are returning from a business trip, their plane crashes into the sea. No survivors are expected to be found. Nicole is heartbroken, much like Conrad’s wife, Ania. They now share a bond of grief. 
    When evidence is found that Conrad took drugs shortly before the plane departed with him at the controls, the two women begin to wonder if all is not what it seems. But when they ask questions about events leading up to the crash, unsettling occurrences suggest it wasn’t a good idea to pry. Sinister-looking men follow them, the Harrisons are increasingly cagey, and the women wonder if there is not more to this than a tragic accident.
