Summary

‘Two Otherworldly Tales: Uncle Dave’s Car & The Mystery of Betty Moon’ is a remarkable and unforgettable book.  ‘Uncle Dave’s Car’ is a highly entertaining and poignant story, set in and around the delightful town of Weymouth in Dorset. When Cordelia Brocklebank, a feisty ex-schoolmistress, takes her dog for a long walk through the Bluebell Woods, she’s in for the biggest surprise of her life.   What she discovers is certainly no teddy bear’s picnic, but rather an enigma that sets in motion a chain of phenomenal events, altering her perception of everything and ultimately the course of her life. As we accompany Cordelia on her journey of rediscovery, we are also presented with an eye-opening glimpse into the scarcely believable goings-on of a respectable seaside charity shop, as well as delving into the fascinating world of clairvoyants and spiritualism . . .  In the ghostly tale of ‘The Mystery of Betty Moon’, set upon the windswept saltings of the lonely Kentish marshes, we venture forth with the unsuspecting holidaymaker, Neville Cole, through the haunting mist of his recollections into the mysterious world of his childhood friend, Miss Betty Moon.

    When D.I. Mahoney is called to the scene of a ritualistic murder in southern Tasmania, he and his team must unlock the mind behind the murder before the killer can claim his next victim.  
    The theatrically staged crime scene confounds the detective as he quickly realizes that he’s faced with apprehending a psychotic, yet methodical killer. Although Mahoney is confident in the forensic and investigative arms of his Homicide Squad, he’s unsure that he has the necessary psychological insight to apprehend a murderer who seems so unhinged. 
    After a second ritual slaying, Mahoney makes the startling discovery that the victims come from a seemingly privileged upbringing and, that the killer is intent on squaring up with those who he sees as being unjustifiably advantaged. 
    In pursuit of a potential suspect, the detective finds that his quarry is relishing the cat and mouse game that the two are playing. Now, Mahoney must use every resource available to him if he is to end the killing spree of this dangerous psychopath... and if he is also to save one of his own.

    It’s Labor Day weekend, 1935, and members of the Darling Dahlias?the garden club in little Darling, Alabama?are trying to keep their cool at the end of a sizzling summer. This isn’t easy, though, since there’s a firebug on the loose in Darling. He?or she!?strikes without apparent rhyme or reason, and things have gotten to the point where nobody feels safe. What’s more, a dangerous hurricane is poised to hurl itself in Darling’s direction, while a hurricane of a different sort is making a whirlwind campaign stop: the much-loved-much-hated senator from Louisiana, Huey P. Long, whom President Roosevelt calls the “most dangerous man in America.” Add Ophelia Snow’s secret heartthrob, Liz Lacy’s Yankee lover, and the Magnolia Ladies’ garden of red hot pokers, fire-red salvia, and hot pink cosmos, and you have a volatile mix that might just burst into flames at any moment. Author Susan Wittig Albert has brought us another delightful assortment of richly human characters who face the challenges of the Great Depression with courage and grace. Her books remind us that friends offer the best of themselves to each other, community is what holds us together, and even when life seems too hot to handle, there’s always hope.
