  Old friends. Old grudges. One evening back together again. The last time they all had dinner, someone wound up dead. What could go wrong? 
   
   
   
  Sophie Lind hasn't seen her college friends in a decade when a dinner invitation from one of the friends, Ava, arrives on her doorstep. They used to all be inseparable, meeting for dinner every week, even after graduation. But the last time they all had dinner, ten years ago, someone was dead by the end of the night. 
   
   
   
  It was Sophie's then-fiancé William who died that night in his apartment, just a room away from the friends he called family. Sophie isn't sure if it's curiosity—or guilt—that pushes her to accept Ava's dinner invitation and unbury those old wounds. When the six friends arrive for the dinner, there's a small box waiting for each of them by their plates. Each box uncovers secrets that the friends have kept hidden all these years, and with the door to the apartment locked from the outside, it's clear that Ava didn't plan this dinner just to reminisce about the past. 
   
    
   
  What happened to William is buried beneath someone's lies—and nobody's leaving this dinner table until the truth comes out.

  His Last Bow: The War Service of...

  "His Last Bow: The War Service of Sherlock Holmes", later titled "His Last Bow: An Epilogue of Sherlock Holmes", is one of 56 short stories about Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was first published in September 1917 in Strand Magazine, and, amongst six other stories, was collected in an anthology titled His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes. The narration is in the third person, instead of the first person narration usually provided by the character of Dr. Watson, and it is a spy story, rather than a detective mystery. Due to its portrayal of British and German spies, its publication during the First World War and its patriotic themes, the story has been interpreted as a propaganda tool intended to boost morale for British readers.
  On the eve of the First World War, the German agent Von Bork is getting ready to leave England with his vast collection of intelligence, gathered over a four-year period. His wife and household have already left Harwich for Flushing in the Netherlands, leaving only him and his elderly housekeeper. Von Bork's associate, Baron von Herling, is impressed by his acquisition of vital British military secrets, and tells Von Bork that he will be received in Berlin as a hero. Von Bork says that he is waiting for one last transaction with his Irish-American informant, Altamont, who will arrive shortly with a rich treasure: naval signals.

  From MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Judy Leigh 
  Brimming with warmth, humour and a love of life… a wonderful escapade’ Fiona Gibson 
  There is excitement in the air as the travelling theatre arrives in Seal Bay. 
  When The Spriggan Travelling Theatre Company arrives in Seal Bay to perform a Cornish version of King Arthur the locals flock to be entertained. But for Morwenna Mutton, sexagenarian librarian, wild swimming enthusiast and amateur sleuth, the theatre brings intrigue too. Actor and director Daniel Kitto is not the most popular member of the cast and unbeknownst to him, his role of Uther Pendragon on the opening night is to be his swansong. 
  In front of a horrified audience, he collapses during the dying moments of the performance in a pool of fake blood, and although the police are content that the causes of his death are natural, Morwenna isn’t so sure. And once it becomes clear that there are a number of people who stand to gain from Daniel’s death, Morwenna’s investigation takes a dangerous turn. 
  If you love Miss Marple and The Thursday Murder Club, then you'll love The Morwenna Mutton mysteries.
