Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
"Hands down one of the best formal detective stories ever written."— Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review This Golden Age masterclass of red herrings and tricky twists, first published in 1944, features a tense and claustrophobic investigation with a close-knit cast of suspects. "You have to reach for the greatest of the Great Names (Agatha Christie, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen) to find Christianna Brand's rivals in the subtleties of the trade." —Anthony Boucher in The New York Times It is 1942, and struggling up the hill to the new Kent military hospital Heron's Park, postman Joseph Higgins is soon to deliver seven letters of acceptance for roles at the infirmary. He has no idea that the sender of one of the letters will be the cause of his demise in just one year's time. When Higgins returns to Heron's Park with injuries from a bombing raid in 1943, his inexplicable death by asphyxiation in the operating theatre casts four nurses and three doctors under suspicion, and a second death in quick succession invites the presence of the irascible—yet uncommonly shrewd—Inspector Cockrill to the hospital. As an air raid detains the inspector for the night, the stage is set for a tense and claustrophobic investigation with a close-knit cast of suspects.

Captured Hearts
Author: Madelyn Goodman
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Captured Hearts is a love story set in 1864 between a Kiowa brave and a pioneer woman, blending terror, danger, and romance, sprinkled with laughter and memorable times. This will warm your heart and grab your interest. A great read. Okay, just read chapter 1, and the hook is set! I don't know if the Indian is a threat or if this is a romance novel and they're going to take the story in that direction. The writing flows well, so it's easy to follow like a Grisham novel, so I'm excited to keep reading. The descriptions are already settling into my imagination. I like the detailed descriptions along the way. It makes me nostalgic for growing up with guns, horses, and ranch animals. --W. W. Carlson, Reno
