Sienna
Krimi von Charlotte Moore
Where is Sienna Dale? Her Uncle Billy doesn’t seem to know – or even care much that she’s been missing for four days. Her grandfather is a drunk who can barely remember her name, her aunt is a drama queen, and the one person in the family who cared about the bookish sixteen-year-old has just died in the local nursing home.
Charlotte Moore schreibt Krimis mit Schauplätzen in kleinen Städten. Sie sind zwar nicht direkt „cozy“, aber sie vermeidet die deutliche Darstellung brutaler Gewalt und legt mehr Wert auf die Menschen und ihr Miteinander und Gegeneinander. „Ms. Moore has a gift for creating people and places that slide right into the reader’s imagination and work their way into the heart.“ (Leserin) (5 Rezensionen / 5,0 Sterne), 202 Seiten – noch gratis?

Cozy Krimi von M.C. Beaton
The local ladies all deem Mr John a wizard, so when Agatha finds a few grey hairs on her head – and the rinse she tries at home turns her hair purple – she makes a beeline for the handsome Evesham hairdresser. And as well as sorting out her hair it soon becomes clear the charming man also has designs on her heart – but their future together is cut short when Mr John is fatally poisoned in his salon.
Band 8 der Serie. “What a treat! Funny, clever and satisfying. The characters and their little idiosyncrasies are well captured. Brilliant observations of small English town extravagancies. Agatha is a vulnerable creature, but at the same time, tough as nails.” (Leser) (122 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 228 Seiten noch günstig?

The victim, found in a field, is young hiker Jessica Tartinck, who spent her life enraging landowners by insisting on her right to roam. Hope springs eternal in Agatha’s breast as she lures the reluctant James into her investigation.

The Continuity Girl
Witziger Roman von Patrick Kincaid
1969. Hollywood descends on a tiny Scottish village for the making of Billy Wilder’s most ambitious picture yet: a sprawling epic detailing The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. But the formidable director and his crew soon come into conflict with Jim Outhwaite, a young scientist seeking evidence for monsters. 2014. Stuck just a short walk from the East London street where she grew up, ambitious Film Studies lecturer Gemma MacDonald is restless and hungry for change. A job offer in the Highlands seems to offer escape – but only at a cost to her relationships with family and an equally ambitious American boyfriend.
Patrick Kincaid ist ein britisch-amerikanischer Autor von Dichtung und Romanen. „Patrick Kincaid beautifully captures time and place and brings a wonderful sense of authenticity to Loch Ness at the end of the 1960s. A real feeling of being there is a key part of the book’s success, not least in the sparkling chapter where our young scientist goes to a party to celebrate the 1969 moon landing.“ (Leser) (34 Rezensionen / 4,9 Sterne), 319 Seiten noch günstig?
