Double Dealing in Dubuque
Krimi von Dean Klinkenberg
Writer Frank Dodge is feeling optimistic for a change. He just landed a plum assignment from a national magazine to write about the growth of boutique food in the Midwest. Dodge’s mood changes quickly, though, when his scheming rival Helen shows up–is she trying to steal another story from him? When a fire erupts at the food convention Dodge is scouting out, two people die and Dodge can’t shake the feeling that the fire was no accident.
Dean Klinkenberg kennt den Mississippi und das Umland genau und verfasst interessante Sachbücher und packende Krimis in dieser Region. „I found Big Dan, the descriptions of the river and Frank Dodge himself to be especially rich with literary depth. The highlight for me being the last few pages of course, when a good mystery turns into a great mystery by hinting at a shadow of truth that uncovers the whole story all over again with new light.“ (Leser) (12 Rezensionen / 4,7 Sterne), 298 Seiten – noch gratis?

Belgravia
Historischer Roman von Julian Fellowes
Julian Fellowes’s Belgravia is the story of a secret. A secret that unravels behind the porticoed doors of London’s grandest postcode.

But the story begins on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

Turns out, the customer’s death coincides with people losing money, and lots of it—and some of those people are very, very dangerous.

The Happy Hollisters and the Scarecrow Mystery
Kinderbuch von Jerry West
When Mr. Hollister’s sport and toy store, The Trading Post, is robbed, his main concern is for his invention, a new type of collapsible canoe. He is therefore surprised to discover that a Geiger counter and a couple of pickaxes are the only missing items. After putting the problem of the theft in the hands of the police, the family turns to the matter of testing the canoe. An interested buyer who owns a forest tract has offered his property to the Hollisters for this purpose. They plan to camp out in the forest and test the canoe on the lake and rapids within the boundaries of the property.
Jerry West war eines der Pseudonyme des amerikanischen Autoren und Verlegers Andrew E. Svenson (1910 – 1975). Er hat viele Kinderbücher selber verfasst, aber auch andere Autoren in seine Serien aufgenommen. Die „Happy Hollisters“ sind innerhalb seiner Bücher noch einmal eine Besonderheit, denn es sind seine eigenen Kinder, die Vorbilder für die Helden sind. Tipp für alle, die etwas altmodische, aber immer noch lesenswerte Kinderbücher mögen. „ he story occurs mostly in Spruce Forest, providing readers with descriptions of wildlife and wilderness survival which are as relevant in the modern era as they were when the book was originally published, making this a fun and interesting read both for those who are familiar with the series and for newcomers.“ (Leserin) (9 Rezensionen / 4,8 Sterne), 172 Seiten – noch gratis?
