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.

    "Scottish cattleman Duff MacCallister staked a claim for his life in America—and reserves a righteous anger for those who break the law in this smoking six-gun shootout from National Bestselling Authors William W. and J.A. Johnstone. 
      
    Thanks to a new line, the railroad has come to Chugwater, Wyoming, bridging the gap between the small town and the larger city of Cheyenne. Now Duff MacCallister can transport his 250 Black Angus cattle herd with ease by Iron Horse instead of enduring a two-day traildrive. But the day after depositing $15,000 in his Cheyenne account, Duff learns that bank president Joel Prescott embezzled every cent—totalling $65,000—and then guilt-ridden, committed suicide. 
      
    Joel wasn’t just Duff’s banker, but his longtime friend. The widow Prescott doesn’t believe her husband was a thief or that he killed himself. Duff agrees. And after getting an appointment as Territorial Marshal, he’s aiming to put the murderous thief behind bars—or six feet under.

    Ten years ago, Dylan Lynch left home to pursue a music career against his mother’s wishes. Now he’s riding the waves of being rock star with number one albums and more money than he ever imagined, and he did it without using his deadly magic.

    The attraction between Eamon and Dylan simmers, but both are reluctant to give in. Hex witches don’t sleep with shifters, and if Eamon wants to keep his job, and life, he shouldn’t sleep with the boss’s son.

    ‘Do you believe Will took his own life?’ 
    The question echoed off the white tiles in the hospital’s cold, cavernous morgue, and I studied my husband in peaceful repose. I leaned down and put my forehead against his. Silent tears ran down my cheeks. They felt hot, and he felt so cold. It was five days since his death, and my grief felt heavy, like a vast, dark mass pushing down on me. 
    When Maggie’s husband, Will, is shot dead in their London home, she thinks he is the victim of a burglary until the police tell her the shocking news that Will was the one who pulled the trigger. 
    Maggie is consumed with grief and questions. Will wasn’t suicidal. He had so much to live for. 
    After the funeral, Maggie travels to their holiday home on a small Croatian island to escape London. She finds a disturbing letter written by Will, containing clues to a dark secret. 
    As Maggie puts the pieces together, she discovers Will’s death is connected to someone from his past… Someone who will go to extreme lengths to keep Maggie silent. 
    Three can keep a secret... If two of them are dead.
