It is the Easter season, but not all is light and love at St. Matthew's Anglican Church. A church member has uncovered a fraud among his business clients, but before he can identify the culprit, he is shot through the heart. Robin Carruthers, church member and flight instructor, must unravel the mystery, which is woven into the operation of her flying school and the romantic entanglements of two of her friends, threatening their lives, and testing her fledgling faith.

Nobody liked him! But when the administrator at St. Matthew's Anglican Church turns up dead in the church office, the hunt is on to find the person with enough of a motive to murder him. Suspicion falls on the church secretary, and Robin Carruthers, church member and flying school operator, feels compelled to exonerate her friend. While struggling to solve the murder, Robin becomes entangled in trying to understand the even greater mystery of faith.

When two shady partners are intent on flying to a neighbouring city to eclipse their competitors in a highly profitable real estate deal, flight school owner Robin Carruthers forewarns them that risking flight into an approaching storm would be suicidal. But not only the skies prove to be deadly. The partners' sudden demise in two seemingly unrelated accidents pitch Robin into a tempest of treachery where her flagging faith, her own integrity and that of St. Matthew's Anglican Church, are thrust into major turbulence. The stakes fly high for life, land and spiritual loyalty. In a dramatic courtroom scene, Robin exposes a killer and solves not just one murder, but two. But when she demystifies the death of the wicked, Robin does so at tremendous risk to herself, and enormous consequences to all she holds dear.

Anne Barton's final book uncovers woodland's persistent imaginative power in renaissance drama. Paying close attention to the practicalities of performance, the collection is representative of Barton's breadth of scholarship: it considers plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, court pageants, treatises on forestry and chronicle history.

Since the Romantic period, Jonson has been an author more respected than read. Frequently compared with Shakespeare, he usually suffers unfairly from the comparison. In this book Anne Barton gives a reading of the plays which completely re-evaluates Jonson as a dramatist. Describing in detail his experimentation with different comic styles and his changing relationship to other Elizabethan and Jacobean poets, particularly Shakespeare, she brings us closer than ever before to Jonson as a man, and as a great artist in comedy. The book proceeds chronologically, play by play, examining such important topics as Jonson's treatment of women, trust among individuals, father and son relationships, and proper names. Anne Barton argues that, despite his espousal of classical principles of decorum and restraint, Jonson was always drawn temperamentally towards the irregular, romantic Elizabethan tradition.
