  "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client" (1924) is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and one of the 12 stories collected as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.
  Sir James Damery comes to see Holmes and Watson about his illustrious client's problem (the client's identity is never revealed to the reader, although Watson finds out at the end of the story; it is heavily implied to be King Edward VII). General de Merville's young daughter Violet has fallen in love with the roguish and sadistic Austrian Baron Adelbert Gruner, who Damery and Holmes are convinced is a shameless philanderer and a murderer. The victim was his last wife, of whose murder he was acquitted owing to a legal technicality and a witness's untimely death. She met her end in the Splügen Pass. Holmes also finds out that the Baron has expensive tastes and is a collector and a recognised authority on Chinese pottery.

  An introverted English professor's quiet life gets turned upside down when he falls for a dangerous, enigmatic sophomore. Mark Lausson has everything he thought he wanted: a coveted job at elite Sawyer College in Ohio. But at the start of his second year, stuck in a small town with deadlines piling up and paychecks falling short, Mark can already feel the fantasy crumbling. And then, a few weeks in, sophomore Tyler Cunningham shows up in class. In Tyler—confident, mysterious, and popular—Mark glimpses another way of being in the world. He finds Tyler’s self-possession both compelling and unsettling. Caught in the rush of sex and secrets, Mark ignores the increasing evidence that Tyler can’t be trusted. But by the time Mark comes to his senses, the irreparable damage is done. Complicating easy ideas of innocence, Providence explores the ways loneliness and desire distort our senses of self and other, right and wrong. Intense, propulsive, and impossible to put down, Providence is perfect for readers of P. J. Vernon’s Bath Haus and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, as well as Patricia Highsmith’s Talented Mr. Ripley and Garth Greenwell’s What Belongs to You.

Soon after Judge Dee and his family members arrived in Penglai, they were notified that the ghost of predecessor was still inside the residence. His loyal and trusted assistant revealed quite a number of questionable points during the investigation process and new fatalities occurred soon after the appointment. Is this series of entirely irrelevant cases a pure coincidence or a continuation from the previous case? Check out how Judge Dee resorts to his extraordinary power of observation and logic to solve the riddle.

  🧶 Yarn shop owner Pearl Purl's life is all about keeping things cozy—until the town's most disliked businessman is found strangled with a rare, hand-dyed yarn sold exclusively in her shop. With the police convinced they have an open-and-shut case against her, Pearl must cast on her own investigation to avoid being woven into a life sentence. Teaming up with her weekly knitting circle—a group of sharp-eyed seniors who notice everything—Pearl follows a tangled trail of clues. From dropped stitches that form a coded message to a suspiciously perfect cable knit pattern that doesn't match the victim's skill level, every loop and purl holds a secret. But as Pearl needles her way through the suspects, she uncovers a pattern of corruption that runs deeper than the town's annual sweater competition. With her business unraveling and the real killer still on the loose, Pearl must stitch together the evidence before she becomes the next casualty in a town where some secrets are better left buried under a warm afghan.
