    A murder that stole 1982 national headlines: “Renowned Family Slayed in Home” 
     
    A case that remained cold for forty long years. 
     
    The Eyler family was anything but average. The father a top literary agent and the mother a duchess, they thrived in their prestigious Oakmont mansion surrounded by luxury…and secrets. Secrets that would eventually cost them their lives. 
     
    On a cold autumn night, their legacy ended with a grisly massacre in one of the most horrific scenes ever investigated. Soon details splashed across every newspaper of how the family of five lay slaughtered in their library, cursing the mansion as it became branded the Execution Estate. With no witnesses and no motives, the killer remained free. The case grew colder. Speculations grew darker. Answers grew dimmer. 
     
    Until now. 
     
    Former estate manager, Derl Newman, steps forward four decades later with a suspicion and a wild clue that could lead investigators to finally solve the puzzle of why a killer would murder a family yet leave the many priceless heirlooms behind. The gardener with a grudge? The bitter butler? The maid hiding her mischief? With insider knowledge of what happened that fateful night, Derl meets with renowned documentarian Keisha Fenty to expose everyone’s darkest secrets that brought this house...and everyone who entered it...to ruin. 
     
    A humorous whodunnit short story perfect for fans of Clue-like locked-room mysteries.

    In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type.  But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit.   
     
    Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.

    This is book three of a series of three. This book includes all three volumes of the series "Wendell Eternal, Order of the Hidden". This book reaches your mind on three different levels. (Physical, Spiritual, and Metaphysical) The biggening of this series starts off with the lowest level of man, in his animalistic form. This book builds you up so that the information can easily be broken down. I am a fan of Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, and Goosebumps. Wendell Eternal is a series of short stories that are all intertwined into one meaning. I use fairytales, allegories, and duality to give the listeners multiple avenues of interpretation. This series is for people who enjoy mysterious thrillers that have a moral compass and over all meaning. Included in this book is my world famous Keysari Smoothie recipe. This smoothie has been perfected over the last decade. I give you entertainment, spirituality, knowledge, and a healthy recipe that could improve your quality of life going forward. This is not a book; this is a movement. When you buy this book, you are basically saying, "Yes, I will continue to fight the good fight".

    Just married, Lee and her husband, Detective Sergeant Pete Mondello, are settling into their new home when Lee is dubbed WICH-TV's new "Historical Documentary Chief Executive." Her first subject is the brand-new Salem International Museum, slated to be a location for traveling blockbuster exhibits, starting with "Seafaring New England." From research to collecting artifacts of Salem's long-ago days as a shipping capital, the project is a challenge—but when the driver of a truckload of antiquities turns up dead under a pile of fall leaves, it's not quite the kind of challenge Lee expected . . . 
     
     
      
    Soon, Lee and Pete are dredging up clues along with a hardy crew of helpers, including Lee's librarian aunt, Ibby, Lee's best friend and practicing witch, River North—and of course the clairvoyant cat, O'Ryan. But when a ship model in the exhibit's collection appears to be haunted, Lee will have to dive into her own treasure trove of psychic gifts before a killer comes to the surface to strike again . . .

    The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892; the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between July 1891 and June 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.
    In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.
