Book Description
Having extricated himself from the embarrassment of murdering his lady parishioner, the Rev. Oughterard is now plunged into the traumas of art theft. Forced by the shady Nicholas Ingaza into being a fence for stolen paintings, he endures the investigative probings of terrifying female novelist and amateur sleuth, Maud Tubbly Pole, hell-bent on portraying him in her next novel. Haunted by the recent murder and fearful of exposure in his new role of 'receiver', the Reverend blunders haplessly in a mesh of intrigue and risible deceit. As before, his antics are commented upon by his cat, the acidic Maurice, and redoubtable bone-grinding ally, the dog Bouncer. Praise for Suzette A. Hill: 'Perfect one-sitting summer read.' Laura Wilson, Guardian 'I think this is tremendous - amusing and professional' Dame Beryl Bainbridge 'E F Benson crossed with Jerome K Jerome' The Times audiobooks review 'This dry, funny British gem, with its eccentric cast of characters, will have readers laughing and eagerly awaiting the next episode' Publishers Weekly 'An intriguingly quirky read! And Maurice the cat is a very clever puss indeed!' Leslie Phillips OBE

Isle of Bones
Author: Zan Safra
Publisher: Quirky Crow Books
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Venice, 1865: Everyone knows the tale of Poveglia. The lonely island has been haunted since the time of the Red Death, the vampire plague that swept across the Continent in centuries past. Five hundred years ago the island became a mass grave, the pyre of thousands upon thousands of half-transformed victims. No Venetian will sail within sight of it. It's said that Poveglia's very soil is made of ash. But sixteen-year-old Unnatural Ayanda Draculesti doesn't believe in curses or ghosts. She's learned well enough that the dead don't return as spirits, they return with fangs. It's been a fortnight since she, Yurei, Jette and Belle battled the fiend in the Doge's Palace and stopped her army from ravaging Venice. But their scars have hardly begun to fade when a new menace emerges from the cursed island, new creatures as mysterious as they are vicious. Creatures that rob Ayanda of her vampiric powers. That leave Yurei at the mercy of a hideous ghost from his past. That invade Jette's soul and tear it in two. That force Belle to discover their secrets alone. That threaten to rip Venice and its people to bloody rags. Creatures that aren't vampires. For, as Ayanda and her new family learn, the Dead aren't the only monsters lurking in the dark.
