Spring Break (The Daniel Jacobus Mysteries #6)
by Gerald EliasWhile teaching a master class at an elite music conservatory, the blind violinist and amateur sleuth give an extra lesson in how to catch a killer. When the Kinderhoek Conservatory of Music in Upstate New York has a last-minute cancellation for its &“Going for Baroque&” festival, they call on virtuoso violinist Daniel Jacobus to sit in on panels and teach a master class. While his expertise in musicology is as noteworthy as his roster of former students, the reclusive curmudgeon&’s brusk manner is a shock to the gentile Kinderhoek community. But not nearly as shocking as murder. When a renowned faculty member dies of apparently natural causes, Jacobus&’s finely attuned ear alerts him to the fact that something is terribly amiss. As he roots out false notes and false claims among the students and faculty, he soon discovers that beneath their civil tone is a secondary theme of harassment and deadly corruption. &“Readers will enjoy spending time in the company of the curmudgeonly Jacobus, and many will welcome the absence of fisticuffs, car chases, and Glocks&” —Publishers Weekly &“A very good entry in a reliable series.&” —Booklist

Now, on their fourth and final spring break, Ted knows they must soon say good-bye. A lacrosse star and ladies' man, Bark has no idea Ted has fallen for him--until a storm forces the entire group underground for twenty-four hours of stress and truth-telling.

Spring Harvest
by Gladys TaberSo much can happen in those last college weeks before Commencement! And so much did happen, to students and to faculty members and even to townspeople, in those lovely long days in the spring of 1914 at the little co-educational college of Westerly in Wisconsin.Impetuous Julie Prescott thought she could never love Mike more than she did, but by Commencement she had found she could, and had grown up in the process, just as Mike himself had attained a new maturity. Perhaps stubborn Professor Prescott never could change from his blind absorption in what he thought right for the college and his daughter, but with Judy finally learning to manage him, and the loving unobtrusive guidance of his charming wife, Sybil, came hope that he might mellow. Dedicated young President Wallace, handicapped by a cold and hostile wife who despised the college and her duties, found comfort and understanding with the gracious Dean. Professor Mark Allingham was deep in despair about the future of the only remarkable voice he had discovered in his years of teaching music, but by Commencement there was again hope. And Dr. Jim Peters, even with an invalid wife, might yet find the comfort and appreciation each man needs.Here is warmth, humor, tenderness, satire and suspense and a loving nostalgia for an innocent period in our past.

After the 'Great Stink' of the previous summer when Parliament was overwhelmed by the stench of sewage from the River Thames, and with cholera running rife throughout the city, Charles Dickens has a new enthusiasm. Having formed a firm friendship with Joseph Bazalgette, he is assisting the ambitious young engineer in his efforts to find a solution to London's pollution problem. Dickens' friend and fellow writer Wilkie Collins meanwhile is distracted by thoughts of his pretty new housekeeper and her charming daughter. But what does he really know of his new employee's past — and just who — or what — is making her so frightened? During an exhibition to showcase Bazalgette's and other top engineers' plans to solve the sewage issue, proceedings are disrupted by a high- pitched, agonised scream — and the discovery of a bloodsoaked body; the result — it would appear — of a terrible accident.
