Beschreibung

In "A Sheaf of Corn," Mary E. Mann presents a rich tapestry of rural life in late 19th-century England, weaving together the complexities of human relationships with the backdrop of agricultural society. The novel employs a lyrical prose style that reflects Mann's keen observations of nature and the subtleties of character interactions. Set against the swiftly changing social landscape of the Victorian era, the narrative deeply explores themes of struggle, resilience, and the bonds that unite communities in times of hardship, while illuminating the roles of both men and women in a transitioning world. Mary E. Mann, a prominent figure in the literary landscape of her time, was steeped in the values and norms of Victorian society, which profoundly influenced her work. As the daughter of a farmer and an advocate for women's education, she often drew upon her own experiences and the realities of rural life to craft stories that resonate with authenticity. Mann's connections with prominent literary circles, alongside her advocacy for social reform, equipped her with a nuanced understanding of the human condition, deftly reflected in her writing. "A Sheaf of Corn" is a compelling invitation for readers to engage with the human experience as articulated by Mann's profound insight. This novel is essential for those interested in the intersection of literature and social commentary, particularly in relation to gender and class dynamics. Readers will find themselves captivated by Mann's vivid storytelling and the enduring relevance of her exploration into our shared humanity.

    I crossed centuries to find you... 
     
    When Tegan Penrose climbs over the iron railings of the walled rose garden in the empty ruins of Trevarron House on the wild Cornish coast, she's unexpectedly pulled into 1755... and trapped in a world she doesn't belong to. Mistaken for a lady's maid, she enters a household shadowed by whispers and scandal. 
     
    Lord William De Vere Trevarron is haunted. His beautiful young wife died under mysterious circumstances four years ago, and society still whispers of murder. Now, as Tegan encounters this brooding man with dark eyes that hold unspeakable pain, she feels an inexplicable pull – as though their souls have been searching for each other across time itself. 
     
    But falling for William is dangerous. The more Tegan uncovers about Trevarron's tragic past, the more she questions what truly happened to William's wife. Is he a grieving widower or something far darker? As their passionate connection deepens, Tegan must navigate a treacherous world of secrets, lies and forbidden love. And when a path home begins to reveal itself, she faces an impossible choice: return to her own time, or surrender to a love that transcends the centuries and risk everything in the process. 
     
    A sweeping timeslip romance of dangerous desire, buried truths and souls destined to find each other across the ages. Perfect for fans of Elena Collins, Irina Shapiro and Poldark.

    The DI Sean Corrigan Short Story Collection includes four short stories from Luke Delaney’s terrifyingly authentic DI Sean Corrigan series: REDEMPTION OF THE DEAD, THE NETWORK, THE RAIN KILLER and AN IMPERFECT KILLING. 
    REDEMPTION OF THE DEAD 
    1993. The Parkside Rapist has been terrorising the women of South London, and Detective Chief Superintendent Charlie Bannan is in need of a secret weapon if he’s going to catch this particular monster. 
    When fresh-faced PC Sean Corrigan is transferred to join the team, Bannan immediately spots his potential. Soon Sean will find himself exploring the scars his own dark past has left him in the race to help his new mentor catch their quarry before he goes on to commit more, and worse crimes… 
    THE NETWORK 
    Early in his career as a Detective, Corrigan is approached for an undercover assignment. He must take on the identity of a prison inmate and befriend a suspected paedophile, then infiltrate an early internet child abuse ring. Can he tap into his dark side for long enough to uncover the identities of the abusers without serious harm to himself? 
    THE RAIN KILLER 
    Five women have been murdered. All prostitutes. All with dark, straight hair. Snatched from the shadows of London’s red-light districts, their mutilated bodies left out in the pouring rain. 
    Enter DS Sean Corrigan. He’s been drafted in to assist the Streatham Police Department – much to the displeasure of the existing DI. But Corrigan has no time for petty squabbles – he has one mission only: find the one they call ‘The Reaper’, even if it means entering the dark and twisted mind of a cold-hearted killer. 
    AN IMPERFECT KILLING 
    Sue Evans is a beautiful and successful TV presenter – that is until she’s shot dead in the car park of her Southbank studios. DS Sean Corrigan and the Southwark Police Department are under pressure to solve the crime fast. Luckily they don’t have far to look – turns out Sue Evans had a stalker and all the evidence points to him. 
    But Corrigan is not so sure – some things just aren’t adding up. With everyone convinced it’s case closed, he must take a risk to get to the truth. But can he be sure it’ll pay off? 
    This collection of stories from Luke Delaney is a testament to his skill in the mystery genre. The psychological suspense is palpable, the urban setting is vividly portrayed, and the hard-boiled procedural style of the narratives makes this one of the best collections of thrillers out there. 
    For fans of Jd Kirk (A Killer of Influence), Chris Carter (The Death Watcher), Mark Billingham (What the Night Brings), Peter James (One of Us Is Dead), and Angela Marsons (36 Hours).
