But one day when she ventures out to the local grocery store, Jules bumps into a fellow customer . . . and recognizes him as her favorite author, Patrick Reagan. Jules gushes and thoroughly embarrasses herself before Regan graciously talks with her. And that’s the last thing she remembers—until she wakes up in a strange room with a splitting headache. She’s been kidnapped. And what she discovers will change everything she believed about her husband’s death . . . her career . . . and her faith.

Book excerpt: Returning to London after his honeymoon (For Deader or Worse), Bow Street Runner John Pickett soon discovers wedded bliss is not without its pitfalls, as he finds it galling to be financially dependent on Julia, his aristocratic bride. When he is summoned to the home of Lady Washbourn, Pickett finds he has something in common with the young countess: like himself, Lady Washbourn has married above her station, and now finds herself adrift in a world to which she does not truly belong. After a series of unsettling incidents-dismissed as accidents by Lord Washbourn and his mother, the dowager countess-Lady Washbourn fears her husband is trying to kill her. The couple will be hosting a masquerade ball, and the countess fears the anonymity of masks and costumes may afford Lord Washbourn an opportunity to make another, bolder attempt on her life. Tricked out in fancy dress for the occasion, Pickett feels more than a little foolish, but when one of the housemaids dies shortly after stealing a sip of Lady Washbourn's ratafia, he realizes her ladyship's fears were not unfounded. Then the coroner's jury returns a verdict of death by natural causes, and Lord Washbourn makes it clear that he considers the matter settled. Pickett stakes his professional reputation on proving the maid was murdered with a poison intended for her mistress. And with a reward of fifty pounds sterling riding on his successful resolution of the case, the marriage Pickett saves just might be his own.

Book Synopsis Misery and Company by : Candace Clark
Download or read book Misery and Company written by Candace Clark and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a kind of social tour of sympathy, Candace Clark reveals that the emotional experience we call sympathy has a history, logic, and life of its own. Although sympathy may seem to be a natural, reflexive reaction, people are not born knowing when, for whom, and in what circumstances sympathy is appropriate. Rather, they learn elaborate, highly specific rules—different rules for men than for women—that guide when to feel or display sympathy, when to claim it, and how to accept it. Using extensive interviews, cultural artifacts, and "intensive eavesdropping" in public places, such as hospitals and funeral parlors, as well as analyzing charity appeals, blues lyrics, greeting cards, novels, and media reports, Clark shows that we learn culturally prescribed rules that govern our expression of sympathy. "Clark's . . . research methods [are] inventive and her glimpses of U.S. life revealing. . . . And you have to love a social scientist so respectful of Miss Manners."—Clifford Orwin, Toronto Globe and Mail "Clark offers a thought-provoking and quite interesting etiquette of sympathy according to which we ought to act in order to preserve the sympathy credits we can call on in time of need."—Virginia Quarterly Review

Book excerpt: From a thrilling train crash staged in Queenstown for The Whip, a 1917 melodrama, to modern romantic comedies such as Runaway Bride and Wedding Crashers, the beautiful Eastern Shore has long sung its siren call to Hollywood filmmakers. Big stars were born here, have lived here, and are buried here. Natives and come-heres alike have had films made about them. Robert Mitchum. Tallulah Bankhead. The Lindas, Hamilton and Harrison. Annie Oakley. Misty of Chincoteague. Lucille Fletcher and Douglass Wallop. Edna Ferber, Showboat, and the James Adams Floating Theatre. The First Kiss. Violets Are Blue. Failure to Launch. Novelists and screenwriters tend to love this place, but at least one scribe who spent formative years here and didn't like it a bit-James M. Cain-would go on to author some of the most scorching crime stories ever to shatter Hollywood censorship standards. You'll read about all this and more in Stardust by the Bushel. Eastern Shore historian and lifelong resident Brent Lewis offers a wide-ranging compass-from Wilmington to Cape Charles, Oxford to Ocean City-finding literally scores of connections to Tinseltown. No Eastern Shore bookshelf will be complete without this fresh look at an underappreciated dimension of Eastern Shore history-its distinctive role as a hatchery, sanctuary, and stage setting for universally known moments in American pop culture.

After Shan Tao Yun is forced to witness the execution of a Tibetan for corruption, he can’t shake the suspicion that he has instead witnessed a murder arranged by conspiring officials. When he learns that a Tibetan monk has been accused by the same officials of using Buddhist magic to murder soldiers then is abruptly given a badge as special deputy to the county governor, Inspector Shan realizes he is being thrust into a ruthless power struggle. Knowing he has made too many enemies in the government, Shan desperately wants to avoid such a battle, but then discovers that among its casualties are a murdered American archaeology student and devout Tibetans who were only trying to protect an ancient shrine. Soon grasping that the underlying mysteries are rooted in both the Chinese and Tibetan worlds, Shan senses that he alone may be able to find the truth. The path he must take, with the enigmatic, vengeful father of the dead American at his side, is the most treacherous he has ever navigated. More will die before he is able to fully pierce the secrets of this clash between the angry gods of Tibet and Beijing. The costs to Shan and those close to him will be profoundly painful, and his world will be shaken to its core before he crafts his own uniquely Tibetan form of justice.
