Book Synopsis Mystery Women, Volume Three (Revised) by : Colleen Barnett
Download or read book Mystery Women, Volume Three (Revised) written by Colleen Barnett and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-12-31 with total page 1090 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Everything looks perfect in Sugar Land, Texas. But it’s not. No one knows that better than Walker “Bear” Wells, a former college football player now serving as a minister in this upscale Texas town, where famous athletes mix with ranchers and the local parish priest wants to arm wrestle. It’s a beautiful master-planned community, but people can’t be held to neighborhood restrictions, and Bear deals daily with emotional and spiritual problems, in both his flock and his own family. But never murder. Not until a man is found dead on the nearby golf course, his skull crushed. Bear has no interest in playing detective. His job is praying for the dead, not searching for their killers. But every time he turns around, another facet of the investigation tangles with his own life…like the fact that the murdered man’s son—and a main suspect—is currently dating his own rebellious teenage daughter. He made a promise to do the right thing. But keeping promises may be what led to murder...

Book Synopsis Death of a Baritone by : Karen Sturges

Book excerpt: Phoebe Mullins spent years as a peacemaker between her conductor husband and the music world's most petulant stars. But when she lands a job at an aging diva's opera school, she has no idea that her shrewd knack for diplomacy will be tested once again. At the exclusive Long Island opera colony of singing legend Anna Varovna, residents are rehearsing their summer production of "Cosi fan tutte. But Phoebe quickly sees that relations offstage are less than cozy, and Mozart's honeyed melodies soon give way to high-decibel melodrama. Then handsome baritone Frank Palermo is found dead of an allergy to the penicillin pill covertly planted among his vitamins--and Anna urges Phoebe to make some discreet inquiries. Could Frank's recent joining of the Children of Truth cult have somehow earned him an early grave? And why did Frank, clutching his opera score as he died, scratch an X on the name "Amadeus"? Before Phoebe can make sense of it all, a fatal cacophony of love, lust, genius, and guilt reveals itself--and the tempo accelerates as death strikes again.

But when a newcomer arrives in town and claims to know the location of the antidote to the zombie plague, it sends Eastpointe into an uproar.

Book Synopsis The Savoy Operas: The Complete Gilbert and Sullivan by : Arthur Sullivan
Download or read book The Savoy Operas: The Complete Gilbert and Sullivan written by Arthur Sullivan and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gilbert and Sullivan’s operas are some of the world’s best-loved musical works, delighting audiences with their joyous wit, topsy-turvy logic and extravagant wordplay. This glorious treasury is the definitive annotated edition of all fourteen of their operas. From the partially lost work Thespis, the first collaboration between W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, through the triumphant comic romps The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado, to lesser-performed gems such as the fanciful The Sorcerer and the acerbic lampoon Patience, Gilbert’s libretti are collected here in their most accurate and faithful form. There is a fascinating commentary on each work, telling the extraordinary stories behind the inspiration for the opera and its performance history, and giving plot summaries and original cast lists.
Book Synopsis The Complete Plays of Gilbert and Sullivan by : Arthur Sullivan
Download or read book The Complete Plays of Gilbert and Sullivan written by Arthur Sullivan and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 967 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following book is a collection of comic operas with the play itself being written by the dramatist W. S. Gilbert and the music composed by Arthur Sullivan. It includes their best known works: 'H.M.S. Pinafore', 'The Pirates of Penzance' and 'The Mikado'. Gilbert, who wrote the libretti for these operas, created fanciful "topsy-turvy" worlds where each absurdity is taken to its logical conclusion; fairies rub elbows with British lords, flirting is a capital offense, gondoliers ascend to the monarchy, and pirates emerge as noblemen who have gone astray. Sullivan, six years Gilbert's junior, composed the music, contributing memorable melodies that could convey both humor and pathos. Their operas have enjoyed broad and enduring international success and are still performed frequently throughout the English-speaking world.
