Sinopsis

Ernesto Giribaldi, a renowned painter, lives a life of apparent success in Santa Margherita Ligure, but he is a restless man, constantly searching for something undefined. His life takes an unexpected turn when Eleonora Danieli, companion of Gabriele D’Annunzio, accepts his invitation to pose as a model for a portrait. This marks the beginning of a game of seduction and emotional tension that culminates in an intimate encounter. However, the idyll is shattered by a mysterious crime: Ernesto is found dead in his beach hut, stabbed with a dagger under inexplicable circumstances.D’Annunzio, with his cunning and intuition, takes on the task of solving the mystery, uncovering intrigues and secrets involving not only the victim but also his wife Isabella and the ambiguous Marinella Astarti, Ernesto’s lover. The narrative weaves together seduction, revenge, and manipulation, culminating in a confrontation between Isabella and Marinella, where the dark dynamics of power and jealousy that led to the murder emerge. Isabella confesses to the crime, driven by despair and fear for the future of her daughters, but her fate rests in the hands of D’Annunzio, who orchestrates a solution to protect the woman and her children, while leaving every moral certainty suspended.The plot ends with an unexpected encounter between D’Annunzio and Isabella, charged with erotic tension, suggesting that the drama never truly ends, but instead transforms into new relationships and power games.

    When Olive Wallace offers to take several friends and relatives on a once-in-a-lifetime bus tour through post-WWII Europe, they all jump at the chance—even though Olive can be petty, demanding, and judgmental. But do they really care about seeing the wonders of Europe—the magnificent Roman temples and the majesty of Carcassonne, an ancient, fortified city in southern France—or are they just trying to stay in Olive’s good graces? Olive Wallace, after all, is extremely wealthy. And she is extremely outspoken about who she intends to leave her money to—or not leave it to—when she dies. Olive changes her will on a whim, and every person on the trip knows it. On a bridge near Avignon, Olive is accidentally bumped into the river—or was she pushed? Days later, she is suspiciously nudged down the steps at the Nimes Colosseum. When Olive suffers a third accident in the narrow cobblestone streets of Carcassonne, she becomes convinced that somebody—one of her closest friends, perhaps—is out to murder her!

    "The Yellow Face", one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the third tale from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine in 1893 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget.
    Sherlock Holmes, suffering from boredom due to a want of cases, returns home from a walk with Dr. Watson early in spring to find he has missed a visitor but that the caller has left his pipe behind. From it, Holmes deduces that he was disturbed of mind (because he forgot the pipe); that he valued it highly (because he had repaired, rather than replaced it, when it was broken); that he was muscular, left-handed, had excellent teeth, was careless in his habits and was well-off.

    🧵 Fabric shop owner and textile expert Cotton Wright is preparing for the annual Quilter's Convention when the event's main fabric supplier—a ruthless textile magnate—is found dead in her store, buried under a collapsed display of fabric bolts. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Cotton notices the bolts were deliberately cut to weaken them and the victim's order forms contain coded messages about fabric quality. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community in chaos, Cotton must measure up as an investigator. Assisted by her quilting bee and the handsome textile chemist analyzing fabric samples, Cotton uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit luxury fabrics, fraudulent fiber content, and a black market for stolen textile designs. From suspicious selvage markings that reveal unauthorized reproduction to dye lots that don't match factory records, every yard tells a story. But when Cotton discovers the victim was systematically diluting luxury fabrics with synthetic fibers while charging premium prices, she realizes the killer is protecting customers from a textile scam more tangled than a knotted thread. With the convention just days away and the real culprit still cutting corners, Cotton must unravel this fabric fiasco before her own bolt gets permanently measured out.
