  "A murder will occur tonight at Beecham House . . ." Who could resist such a compelling invitation? Of course, the murder in question purports to be a party game, and Phyllida looks forward to using some of the deductive skills she has acquired thanks to her employer, Mrs. Agatha, who is unable to attend in person. 
   
   
   
  The hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Wokesley, are new to the area, and Phyllida gladly offers their own overwhelmed housekeeper some guidance while events get underway. Family friends have been enlisted to play the suspects, and Mr. Wokesley excels in his role of dead body. Unfortunately, when the game's solution is about to be unveiled, the participants discover that life has imitated art. Mr. Wokesley really is dead! 
   
   
   
  In the absence of Inspector Cork, Phyllida takes temporary charge of the investigation, guiding the local constable through interviews with the Murder Game actors. At first, there seems no motive to want Mr. Wokesley dead . . . but then Phyllida begins to connect each of the suspects with the roles they played and the motives assigned to them. It soon becomes clear that everyone had a reason to murder their host—both in the game and in real life. Before long, Phyllida is embroiled in a fiendishly puzzling case, with a killer who refuses to play by the rules . . .

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In the heart of 1830s Texas, a land of sprawling prairies and simmering discontent, the seeds of revolution are sown. The iron rule of Mexican General Santa Anna pushes Anglo settlers and proud Tejanos to the brink, igniting a desperate struggle for liberty that will forever scar the land and its people. "Forged in Fire and Blood" plunges into this maelstrom through the intertwined destinies of three unforgettable characters. 
  Declan Brody, a veteran haunted by past wars, sought only a quiet life on his Texas homestead. But as tyranny tightens its grip, from the defiant stand at Gonzales to the legendary siege of the Alamo, he is forced to take up arms once more. His journey through the revolution’s most brutal battles, including the Goliad Massacre and the pivotal charge at San Jacinto, becomes a testament to human resilience and a harrowing exploration of the true cost of conflict. 
  Catalina "Lina" de la Garza, an educated Tejano woman from a respected San Antonio family, initially places her faith in the Mexican Constitution of 1824. But as Santa Anna’s centralist regime crushes federalist hopes and incites brutal conflict, she witnesses the siege of her beloved Bexar and endures the terrifying hardships of the Runaway Scrape. Torn between cultures and loyalties, Lina’s spirit awakens, transforming her into a courageous advocate for her people in the turbulent aftermath of war, fighting for their place in a newly forged, uncertain republic. 
  "Eighteen Minutes to Freedom" is a sweeping, action-packed e

  In the shadows of the great Oxford English Dictionary, a quiet revolution is born.
   
  The Dictionary of Lost Words tells the unforgettable story of Esme, a girl raised in a world of words—yet silenced by the very system that defines them. While her father and his colleagues work tirelessly to preserve the English language, Esme discovers a parallel truth: the most powerful words are often the ones left out—spoken by women, the working class, and the unheard.
   
  From whispered lullabies to protest chants and forgotten dialects, Esme collects discarded words, building her own dictionary in defiance of the era’s limitations. As she grows from curious child to determined woman, she begins to understand that language isn’t neutral—it’s shaped by power, history, and exclusion.
