Synopsis

In "TISH," Mary Roberts Rinehart introduces readers to the spirited and resourceful character of Tish Carberry, who embodies the author's signature style of combining humor with keen observations of early 20th-century societal norms. Set against a backdrop of post-World War I America, the narrative masterfully blends elements of mystery and domesticity, reflecting Rinehart's modernist engagement with themes of independence and women's evolving roles. The book's episodic structure allows Tish's escapades to unfold in a lively manner, while Rinehart's sharp wit and vivid prose invite readers into a world that is both familiar and tantalizingly absurd. Mary Roberts Rinehart, often hailed as the "American Agatha Christie," was a pioneering figure in mystery and detective fiction, emerging in a literary climate that welcomed women writers. Her experiences as a nurse during the war and her keen insights into the lives of women shaped the character of Tish, rendering her an emblem of assertiveness and charm in a changing society. Rinehart'Äôs life experiences inform her protagonist's relatable quirks, navigating a male-dominated world with humor and pragmatism. Readers seeking an engaging blend of wit, strong female characterization, and commentary on the era's societal challenges will find "TISH" a delightful and thought-provoking read. As Rinehart illuminates Tish's adventures through her perceptive lens, she not only entertains but also invites reflection on themes of agency and resilience, making this book an essential addition to any literary collection.

    A defense attorney who lives his life in shades of gray, Victor Carl fights all the right fights for all the wrong reasons. With a failing legal practice, a dead-end love life, and a pile of unpaid traffic tickets, Victor skates on the razor's edge of legal ethics in search of the easy buck. But the one absolute in Victor's life is loyalty, especially to a client -- even if he happens to be dead. Like Joey Cheaps, a no-account who takes a knife to the throat down on the waterfront, but not before he shares with his lawyer his part in a terrible crime. 
    With his client murdered, Victor must search for a killer. But solving the crime means investigating the darkest spot in Joey Cheap's misspent youth, sending Victor on a twisting journey that leads to a missing suitcase stuffed with money, photographs of a mysterious naked woman, and a Supreme Court justice with a secret to hide. And most dangerous of all, Victor steps into the crosshairs of a vengeful enemy with a past full of pain and a taste for blood. 
    As thrilling as it is darkly evocative, Past Due is a superb tale of crime and justice that takes the intrepid Victor Carl into brilliant new territory and confirms William Lashner's place among the top suspense writers of our time.

    The "master of . . . cerebral puzzle mysteries" sends his Yorkshire detectives back to college to be taught a lesson in murder (The New York Times). 
     
     
      
    Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
     
     
      
    If Alison Girling, former principal of England's Holm Coultram College, died in an avalanche in Austria, why has her skeleton been unearthed on campus? While no love is lost between conservative detective Andrew Dalziel and the entirety of Liberal Arts, his attention to the grim discovery must be paid. But when he and Peter Pascoe scour the ivory tower for answers, they discover that the shady faculty and creepy student body have more to bury than just one corpse. Try two—and counting. As Pascoe is sidelined by an old college flame, Dalziel's suspicions of academia are becoming dire. Because the deeper he digs for secrets, the dirtier they get in this "steadily, edgily amusing . . . dark comedy" (Kirkus Reviews).
