Sinopse

Sabine Baring-Gould was a Vicar in the Church of England in Devon, an archaeologist, folklorist, historian and a prolific author. Baring-Gould was also a bit eccentric. He reputedly taught classes with a pet bat on his shoulder. He is best known for writing the hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers'. 

This book is one of the most cited references about werewolves. The Book of the Were-Wolf takes a rationalistic approach to the subject. 

The book starts off with a straightforward academic review of the literature of shape-shifting; however, starting with Chapter XI, the narrative takes a strange turn into sensationalistic 'true crime' case-studies of cannibals, grave desecrators, and blood fetishists, which have a tenuous connection with lycanthropy. This includes an extended treatment of the case of Giles de Rais, the notorious associate of Joan of Arc, who was convicted and executed for necrosadistic crimes.

Lucy McGuffin has three problems: 
 
 
 
She's a human lie detector, a "gift" she tries hard to keep hidden. 
 
 
 
Her rescue dog Paco is a ghost-whisperer. 
 
 
 
And someone's just been found murdered in her kitchen. 
 
 
 
The murder weapon? One of Lucy's famous apple walnut cream cheese muffins. The victim? Tara Bell, the producer for a reality TV cooking competition that Lucy is determined to win. Lucy and Tara had a very public disagreement the day before the murder. When it's discovered that Lucy's cafe was about to be disqualified from the show, all fingers point to Lucy as the prime suspect. 
 
 
 
Travis Fontaine might be Whispering Bay's newest heartthrob, but the know-it-all cop and Lucy have butted heads in the past. He doesn't believe she's guilty and he'll prove it. Himself. Without any of Lucy's special help, thanks. 
 
 
 
But Lucy isn't about to sit back and let her goose get cooked. With her best friend Will and her dog Paco by her side, she sets out to solve the crime. Before someone gets away with murder.
