Sinopse

In 'Over the Border,' Morgan Robertson crafts an intricate narrative that dissects the human condition, particularly focusing on themes of love, loss, and the inexorable passage of time. The prose is lyrical and evocative, providing a vivid backdrop against which the characters navigate their inner turmoils and moral dilemmas. Set against the social and cultural dynamics of the early 20th century, the novel weaves a tapestry enriched by Robertson's keen observations of societal constructs and personal relationships, making it a compelling slice of American literary realism. Morgan Robertson, an esteemed figure in early American literature, was inspired by his own experiences of travel and encounters across borders. His firsthand observations of diverse cultures and social conflicts deeply influenced his writing style, infusing it with authenticity and emotional resonance. Born in a world undergoing rapid change, Robertson was acutely aware of the tensions and possibilities that arose when different worlds collided, which he adeptly encapsulates in this powerful narrative. This seminal work is recommended for readers interested in exploring intricate human relationships and the societal issues of Robertson's time. Engaging with 'Over the Border' not only enriches one's understanding of early 20th-century literature but also invites profound reflections on the universal struggles of identity and connection, making it a timeless addition to any literary collection.

    Book #1 in Agatha Christie's Poirot series.
    
    A refugee of the Great War, Poirot has settled in England near Styles Court, the country estate of his wealthy benefactor, the elderly Emily Inglethorp. When Emily is poisoned and the authorities are baffled, Poirot puts his prodigious sleuthing skills to work. Suspects are plentiful, including the victim's much younger husband, her resentful stepsons, her longtime hired companion, a young family friend working as a nurse, and a London specialist on poisons who just happens to be visiting the nearby village.
    
    All of them have secrets they are desperate to keep, but none can outwit Poirot as he navigates the ingenious red herrings and plot twists that contribute to Agatha Christie's well-deserved reputation as the queen of mystery.
    Agatha Christie (1890 – 1976) was an English author. She was a prolific writer, most famous for her detective novels and short story collections which centred around the iconic characters of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Renowned as the 'Queen of Crime', she remains the bestselling novelist of all time, with her sales only second to the Bible.

    In Paradise Falls, I'm the law. Since I became the police chief, crime here is about as common as a good hair day in a tornado, and peace between shifters and witches has never been smoother. My familiar, Tizzy the squirrel, keeps me entertained with her acorn-fueled antics, while my bear shifter hubby, Ford, makes me feel like the safest witch on the planet. 
     
     
     
    Like a vegan at a barbecue, trouble rolls into town in the form of a pack of werewolves. These furry interlopers aren't here for the scenic hikes or the artisanal honey—oh no, they want a piece of Paradise Falls, and they're not asking politely. When the Witch-Shifter Coalition votes to boot the wolves, the head howler throws down the gauntlet, declaring the sacred Rite of Arphlitian—a ritual fight to the death as ancient as the town's oldest oak tree. 
     
     
     
    With no choice, the town must choose a champion. And guess who volunteers? As the new mayor, Ford steps up to the challenge. 
     
     
     
    I'm sure someone in town is conspiring with the newcomers to take down the leadership in Paradise Falls. But who? And to what end? 
     
     
     
    Unfortunately, in Paradise Falls, the only thing more magical than the town's charms is this mystery.

    On 17th October, 1678, Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey, a justice of the peace, is discovered dead in a ditch at Primrose Hill, run through with his own sword. Suicide or murder? This has been the historian's dilemma for three centuries. King Charles II had awarded Godfrey a knighthood for his bravery following the great plague and the fire of London. But is Godfrey all he appears to be? During his final days, Godfrey confesses to friends that he is master of a great secret and will be hanged. Titus Oates, arguably the most audacious liar history has ever known, had visited Godfrey claiming to have discovered a Jesuit plot to assassinate King Charles II and overthrow Parliament. Following a £500 reward from the King for information about Godfrey's death, murderers are named and Samuel Pepys, Secretary of the Naval Office, discovers that he has an enemy who has accused him of orchestrating Godfrey's murder. He must seek the truth to save himself.
    Readers will accompany Mr Pepys to coffee houses, taverns, palaces, to his home where his marriage is in crisis, to Newgate prison, and to the trials of men who are accused of murdering Godfrey. Who lies and who is telling the truth? Who killed Edmund Godfrey?
