A Dry Creek Christmas
by Janet TronstadMillie Corwin had snuck into Dry Creek's café to leave gifts for the townspeople, not to rob them. But she'd been caught. And now that she was in the custody of one infuriatingly good-looking Good Samaritan, the entire town--including her handsome captor--had branded her a criminal.Brad Parker was minding his own business when he noticed Millie sneaking into the café. She claimed she wasn't a robber, and he wasn't sure what to believe. Because how could a thief be so lovely to look at, and--Brad soon learned--lovely on the inside, too? One thing was certain. Robber or not, this stranger seemed to be stealing his love-resistant heart...

Now, as Tom struggles to pull rain from the sky, something unexpected happens that changes both of their lives forever.

In the unbearable, rainless heat of a Dust Bowl summer, Weldon will find himself mixed up in an encounter with the infamous bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde--an encounter that changes the course of Weldon's life...and history itself. Rich with criminal and social history of the American West and a young boy's struggle to become a man, "A Dust Bowl Tale of Bonnie and Clyde" is just the beginning of Weldon Holland's story.

A Duty to the Dead (Bess Crawford Mysteries #1)
by Charles ToddFrom the brilliantly imaginative New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd comes an unforgettable new character in an exceptional new series England, 1916. Independent-minded Bess Crawford's upbringing is far different from that of the usual upper-middle-class British gentlewoman. Growing up in India, she learned the importance of responsibility, honor, and duty from her officer father. At the outbreak of World War I, she followed in his footsteps and volunteered for the nursing corps, serving from the battlefields of France to the doomed hospital ship Britannic. On one voyage, Bess grows fond of the young, gravely wounded Lieutenant Arthur Graham. Something rests heavily on his conscience, and to give him a little peace as he dies, she promises to deliver a message to his brother. It is some months before she can carry out this duty, and when she's next in England, she herself is recovering from a wound. When Bess arrives at the Graham house in Kent, Jonathan Graham listens to his brother's last wishes with surprising indifference. Neither his mother nor his brother Timothy seems to think it has any significance. Unsettled by this, Bess is about to take her leave when sudden tragedy envelops her. She quickly discovers that fulfilling this duty to the dead has thrust her into a maelstrom of intrigue and murder that will endanger her own life and test her courage as not even war has.

A Espia Real (Her Royal Spyness #Volumen 1)
by RHYS BOWENO primeiro volume de uma nova série de cosy crime com um toque de regency que vai deliciar os leitores e que todos vão querer conhecer! O seu nome completo é Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie (Georgie para os amigos), filha do duque de Glen Garry e Rannoch. Em 34.° lugar na linha de sucessão ao trono, aprendeu pouquíssimas coisas úteis na vida, entre as quais como fazer uma vénia perfeita. E está completamente falida.Quando o irmão lhe corta o rendimento e a tenta convencer a casar com um príncipe romeno «com cara de peixe», Georgie vê-se forçada a abandonar a Escócia e a fugir para Londres, onde: 1 - trabalha ao balcão de uma loja de cosméticos, para de lá ser despedida cinco horas depois; 2 - se apaixona por um muito inapropriado membro menor da realeza (tão falido quanto ela);3 - arranja algum dinheiro como empregada doméstica (incógnita, claro); 4 - finalmente, é convocada pela Rainha de Inglaterra para ser espia do seu filho mais velho, o príncipe de Gales. Como se não bastasse tudo isto, o francês arrogante que reivindicara a posse da propriedade ancestral da família de Georgie aparece morto na sua banheira. Agora, o trabalho mais importante que tem pela frente é tentar limpar o comprido nome de família. Os elogios da crítica: «Brilhante e muito mais do que um policial. Combina uma história de amor, comentários sociais, humor e perigo. E é maravilhoso.» - Louise Penny «Uma heroína cativante, personagens peculiares e muita diversão. Os disparates e loucuras de Georgie deixarão o leitor ansioso pelo próximo livro da série.» - Publishers Weekly«Rhys Bowen, vencedora do Agatha Award, apresenta-nos uma protagonista fantástica. A melhor parte é a evocação da Inglaterra dos anos 1930 e o retrato vívido de como seria o quotidiano de uma jovem mulher que queria ir contra a tradição, no período entre duas guerras mundiais. Incrivelmente divertido.» - Booklist «A boa disposição de Georgie e a prosa leve e divertida da autora são absolutamente viciantes.» - The Denver Post«Uma combinação perspicaz de mistério, sátira e comédia.» - Jacqueline Winspear «Personagens maravilhosas... Uma delícia.» - Charlaine Harris «O livro perfeito para os viciados em Downton Abbey.» - Deborah Crombie

Suddenly Jake can't help but feel that her house--and her life--has far too many windows. And in any one of them she might see the face of her killer.From the Hardcover edition.

And in any one of them she might see the face of her killer.
