First, she comes home from work at her Paris detective agency to learn that her boyfriend is leaving her. She goes out for a drink with her friend Laure, a police officer, but Laure’s patrol partner, Jacques, interrupts, saying he needs to talk to Laure urgently. The two leave the bar, and when they don’t return, Aimée follows Laure’s path and finds her sprawled on a snowy rooftop, not far from Jacques, who is bleeding from a fatal gunshot wound. When the police arrive, they arrest Laure for murder. No one is interested in helping Aimée figure out the truth. As she chases down increasingly dangerous leads in the effort to free her friend, Aimée stumbles into a web of Corsican nationalists, separatists, gangsters, and artists. Could Jacques’s murder and Laure’s arrest be part of a much bigger cover-up?

A Belinda Lawrence Mystery Belinda and Hazel find themselves on the island of Guernsey where they are invited by Sir Mark’s mother, Melba, Lady Sallinger.

Soon after, the residents of the old Tudor mansion are thrown into confusion with the discovery of human remains buried in the garden. The priest tells of the Guernsey Martyrs, burned alive in 1556 for theft, and he believes a silver cup from that theft, is hidden in the house. One murder and a second mysterious death lead to revelations of past crimes that resonate to the present day and result in an exciting resolution tinged by the island’s history of Nazi occupation. ‘Belinda Lawrence is a woman who is highly charged when it comes to solving a mystery. She lets nothing stand in her way right down to entering other people’s home without invitation. I like her independent nature, her daring maneuvers, her determination.

A good read filled with suspense and mystery.’– ALTERNATIVE READ ‘Belinda is the type of heroine that will be beloved and leave readers wondering what’s happening to her next. I know I will be.’– AMAZON. Yvonne Reviews. ‘Brian Kavanagh has an amusing turn of phrase and his interpretation of the wonderful English mystery series of yesteryear makes for delightful entertainment.’– AMAZON. Angela S.

What I hoped would be my great adventure has become more exciting than even I could have imagined, Sydney Blanchett ponders as she stands outside the magnificent abbey of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy France. I joked that while I studied the history and architecture of the monastery, I would solve the Mont’s many ancient unsolved mysteries. How could I have known I’d be helping to solve a real-life mystery, one that’s complicated and possibly life-threatening? After a murder occurs on the Mont, Sydney, along with the monks and nuns who inhabit the monastery; her professor, Armand Toussaint; and a police inspecteur, Marcel Caron; set out to identify the killer. As they uncover clues, Sydney faces terrifying encounters that could make her the next person to be murdered on the Mont. From beginning to end, Ann Port’s ninth novel, Murder on the Mont, is a page-turner that challenges the reader to figure out “who done it.”

Book Description
Like other fictional characters, female sleuths may live in the past or the future. They may represent current times with some level of reality or shape their settings to suit an agenda. There are audiences for both realism and escapism in the mystery novel. It is interesting, however, to compare the fictional world of the mystery sleuth with the world in which readers live. Of course, mystery readers do not share one simplistic world. They live in urban, suburban, and rural areas, as do the female heroines in the books they read. They may choose a book because it has a familiar background or because it takes them to places they long to visit. Readers may be rich or poor; young or old; conservative or liberal. So are the heroines. What incredible choices there are today in mystery series! This three-volume encyclopedia of women characters in the mystery novel is like a gigantic menu. Like a menu, the descriptions of the items that are provided are subjective. Volume 3 of Mystery Women as currently updated adds an additional 42 sleuths to the 500 plus who were covered in the initial Volume 3. These are more recently discovered sleuths who were introduced during the period from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. This more than doubles the number of sleuths introduced in the 1980s (298 of whom were covered in Volume 2) and easily exceeded the 347 series (and some outstanding individuals) described in Volume 1, which covered a 130-year period from 1860-1979. It also includes updates on those individuals covered in the first edition; changes in status, short reviews of books published since the first edition through December 31, 2008.
