Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death (Grantchester Mysteries #1)

by James Runcie

It is 1953, the coronation year of Queen Elizabeth II . Sidney Chambers, vicar of Grantchester and honorary canon of Ely Cathedral, is a thirty-two-year-old bachelor. Tall, with dark brown hair, eyes the color of hazelnuts, and a reassuringly gentle manner, Sidney is an unconventional clerical detective. He can go where the police cannot. Together with his roguish friend, inspector Geordie Keating, Sidney inquires into the suspect suicide of a Cambridge solicitor, a scandalous jewelry theft at a New Year's Eve dinner party, the unexplained death of a jazz promoter's daughter, and a shocking art forgery that puts a close friend in danger. Sidney discovers that being a detective, like being a clergyman, means that you are never off duty, but he nonetheless manages to find time for a keen interest in cricket, warm beer, and hot jazz--as well as a curious fondness for a German widow three years his junior. With a whiff of Agatha Christie and a touch of G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown, The Grantchester Mysteries introduces a wonderful new hero into the world of detective fiction. Look for the five other intriguing, thought provoking collections mystery stories featuring Sidney Chambers stories in the Bookshare collection by James Runcie.

Sidney Sheldon's Angel of the Dark

by Sidney Sheldon Tilly Bagshawe

It was his first big murder case-and one of the bloodiest and most violent crimes LAPD detective Danny McGuire would ever encounter. Andrew Jakes, an elderly multimillionaire art dealer, had been brutally murdered in his Hollywood home, his lifeless body tied to his naked young wife. Raped and beaten, the lovely Angela Jakes had barely survived the attack herself. Gazing into her deep, soulful eyes, Danny swore that he'd find the psychopath behind this barbarous act. But the investigation didn't turn up a single solid lead, and within days of Angela's release from the hospital, the stunning young widow-Danny's only witness-had vanished. For ten years Danny McGuire could not forget the sweet face of Angela Jakes and the terrible crime that had shattered her life; his obsession with her nearly cost him his sanity. Now in France, thousands of miles from the past-with a new life, a new job with Interpol, and a ravishing new wife-he's happier than he's ever been . . . until he meets Andrew Jakes's estranged son, Matt Daley. Curious about his father's murder, Matt has been digging into the cold case-and made some shocking discoveries. Three killings nearly identical to his father's have taken place across the globe. The victims were elderly, newlywed millionaires, their young wives assaulted. And in each case the widow, the sole beneficiary of the will, donated her newfound wealth to children's charities and then vanished. Could it be true? Had the Jakes killer struck again? If so, Danny knows he must tread carefully or risk losing everything for good. The evidence points to a single killer-a brilliant and ruthless criminal who travels across the globe under a string of assumed identities, cleverly keeping one step ahead of the law. Joining forces, Danny and Matt pursue this intriguing shadow from Los Angeles to London, New York to Italy and the French Riviera, in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse filled with promising leads and frustrating dead ends. When another murder fitting the profile occurs, Matt heads to Hong Kong, hoping to get answers from the latest widow, Lisa Baring, and perhaps uncover the hard evidence they need. But Matt becomes besotted with the irresistible beauty, nearly derailing the investigation, and Danny wonders whether Lisa is truly a victim or something more sinister. When a break in the case sends Danny to Mumbai, he knows he must act quickly, for the clever killer is poised to strike again. A fast-paced story full of mystery, glamour, excitement, and spectacular twists that build to a stunning ending, Sidney Sheldon's Angel of the Dark is quintessential Sheldon from first page to last.

Sie jagte ihren Ehemann in die Luft

by Taylor Storm

Der Schulbus hielt wie üblich vor unserem Haus. Meine Schwester Lucy und ich verabschiedeten uns schnell von unseren Klassenkameraden. Unsere Freunde zogen uns immer noch damit auf, dass wir in unserem Alter noch den Bus nahmen, aber es war alles nur Spaß. Unsere Eltern waren ziemlich bescheiden und sahen nicht viel Sinn darin, uns beiden ein Auto zu kaufen, ehe wir keinen Abschluss gemacht hatten. „Geizig“ nannten unsere Freunde sie und wir stimmten zu. Aber es lag mehr Empfindsamkeit in ihrem sogenannten „Geiz“ als nur der Verzicht auf ein Jugendritual, um ein paar Dollar zu sparen. Lucy und ich wollten unbedingt einen Snack vor dem Abendessen haben. Es war drei Uhr am Nachmittag und wir hatten keine Ahnung, was unsere Mutter vorbereitet hatte. Die Atmosphäre im Haus fühlte sich merkwürdig an, als wir eintraten. Es war eine nervenzermürbende Art der Stille, die keiner von uns kannte. Die übliche Hektik meiner Mutter, wenn sie die Hausarbeit verrichtete, damit die Familie jeden Tag versorgt war, fehlte. Stattdessen war das Haus in gespenstisches Schweigen gehüllt. Die Spannung war so dick, dass wir sie bis in unsere Poren spüren konnten, sobald wir durch die Tür traten. Wir konnten aber nicht genau benennen, was los war.
