A RECIPE FOR MURDER Life is sweet for Daphne Martin right now, from her flourishing cake-decorating business to a rekindled romance with her high school boyfriend, Ben. All that’s about to change, courtesy of famously foul-mouthed celebrity chef Jordan Richards.

With Ben mulling a new job offer—in Kentucky—Daphne is faced with a multilayered dilemma. She needs to somehow keep her boyfriend, win the cake competition, and sift out the real culprit . . . before the killer serves up another victim.

Book Synopsis Battered to Death by : Andrea Frazer

Book excerpt: The third instalment in an occasional series of short stories covering the elapsed time between the books in The Falconer Files series. An insanely gripping village detective series with a delightful slice of humour. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Lillian Jackson Braun and Midsomer Murders. _____________ This story covers events that occur between the books Pascal Passion and Murder at the Manse. DI Falconer and DS Carmichael are both enjoying a well-earned rest day, when they are summoned to a most distressing incident that has occurred at a chip shop on the parade of shops in Upper Darley. It was obviously murder, but was it something to do with the robust behaviour of some of the more aggressive customers from the night before or was it closer to home? _____________ Praise for Andrea Frazer's quirky and compelling crime novels: ***** 'As I expected from Andrea Frazer, another great story with all the detail, mystery and clues that paint a picture of everything as if one was actually there. Well done and thank you, Andrea' Reader Review ***** 'Excellent read I would thoroughly recommend it... looking forward to next one.' Reader Review ***** 'I read this book in one sitting. Up to the authors excellent standard...' Reader Review ***** 'This book, like all the Falconer books, is well written and gripping. The characters are developing well into an entertaining Morse and Lewis' Reader Review

Book Synopsis Abused to Death 1 by : Jessica Jackson
Download or read book Abused to Death 1 written by Jessica Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunting new take on True Crime and Child Abuse Biography Eight shocking true stories of children who were abused and murdered by their own parents or caregivers. Baby Peter's nightmare intensified on the arrival of his mother's sadistic boyfriend. Amy was hung up by her hair on a door frame and used as a punchbag. A 3-year-old was burned with a blowtorch to punish him for bed-wetting. Sylvia's foster mother encouraged the neighbourhood children to humiliate and abuse her. In his death throes, Dennis clawed desperately at his brother's back in the bed they shared. In a bid to raise awareness of these horrific crimes, Jackson often tells the stories from the child's point of view, giving a voice to those were neglected and tortured to death, following with the facts of each case, such as trials and sentencing, and concludes by searching for answers to the question, "How can we save children from this horrific fate?" This book is not suitable for children, and those who find depictions of the suffering of children deeply upsetting may wish to tread cautiously.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The score would be an easy one—if it weren’t for the women involved Out of work and dead broke, Lee Scarborough is a long way from his days as a football hero when he meets the sunbathing Diana James—an innocent-looking creature with a plan to make a fortune. A few months’ back, her lover embezzled $120,000 from a bank, but disappeared before she could get her hands on the cash. The police think he’s fled the state, but Diana is sure he’s dead, and knows who killed him: his wife, Madelon Butler, a sadistic drunk who is capable of anything. The cash is inside Madelon’s house, waiting to be stolen a third time, and all Diana needs is a patsy. Scarborough fits the bill. The plan sails along smoothly until Scarborough meets Mrs. Butler. By the time his luck runs out, he’d rather face a dozen hulking linebackers than these two beauties, who have been driven to a frenzy by jealousy, greed, and lust.

Book Synopsis Battered Women and Feminist Lawmaking by : Elizabeth M. Schneider
Download or read book Battered Women and Feminist Lawmaking written by Elizabeth M. Schneider and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women’s rights advocates in the United States have long argued that violence against women denies women equality and citizenship, but it took a movement of feminist activists and lawyers, beginning in the late 1960s, to set about realizing this vision and transforming domestic violence from a private problem into a public harm. This important book examines the pathbreaking legal process that has brought the pervasiveness and severity of domestic violence to public attention and has led the United States Congress, the Supreme Court, and the United Nations to address the problem. Elizabeth Schneider has played a pioneering role in this process. From an insider’s perspective she explores how claims of rights for battered women have emerged from feminist activism, and she assesses the possibilities and limitations of feminist legal advocacy to improve battered women’s lives and transform law and culture. The book chronicles the struggle to incorporate feminist arguments into law, particularly in cases of battered women who kill their assailants and battered women who are mothers. With a broad perspective on feminist lawmaking as a vehicle of social change, Schneider examines subjects as wide-ranging as criminal prosecution of batterers, the civil rights remedy of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, the O. J. Simpson trials, and a class on battered women and the law that she taught at Harvard Law School. Feminist lawmaking on woman abuse, Schneider argues, should reaffirm the historic vision of violence and gender equality that originally animated activist and legal work.
