Menacing texts lead to murder in an English village, in this unmissable, witty mystery by the Dagger Award-nominated author of A Most Unusual Demise. May Morrigan is in her bookshop one morning when she-and everyone else in the shop-receives an anonymous text. It contains a reference to a Shakespeare quotation-and seems to be aimed at the vicar and his partner, Juan. The next morning, one of them is dead. Meanwhile, May's elderly mother, Minty, is staying with her, her old friend Fletcher, and her two dogs. To her dismay, Minty is quite preoccupied with death herself lately. She also keeps reminiscing about her past in ways that make May wonder what secrets she's hiding. As disturbing texts continue to arrive, the Blackheath residents are threatened with further revelations and titillations. Then Fletcher becomes the focus of the tormenting texter . . . and barely escapes an attempt on his life. It's time for May to send a strong message-and block this killer permanently . .

Wouldn't it be nice to read a book about relationships that made you laugh instead of point fingers? Now you can. Katherine Black, armed with her biting wit and in-your-face directness, takes on John Gray's over-simplified psycho-babble relationship books and delivers a knockout punch. Read why men couldn't possibly have come from Mars or any planet other than Uranus, how women are responsible for setting up civilization, and why men are inept when it comes to communicating with women. Ms. Black explains what men are trying to say, no matter how they're trying to say it. So if you're looking for a little reality, get ready for a wild ride as Katherine Black gets down and dirty in her hilarious and irreverent look at relationships! The difference between the eBook and the book in print is the paperback has the original illustrations by award-winning illustrator Peter J. Welling, who received a 2012 Storytelling World Award in Category One - Young Listeners, for his work on The Kvetch Who Stole Hanukkah, by Bill and Susan Isakoff Berlin.

A well-read old dear has an unhealthy interest in murder, in this sharp, witty, and refreshingly original cozy crime novel. Retired librarian and bookshop owner May Morrigan lives in the affluent village of Blackheath with Fletcher, her best friend since they met decades ago, and May's two dogs. What could be more normal? But May is not your average little old lady . . . After an unpleasant church volunteer and an annoying local butcher meet their untimely ends, Fletcher and May team up to do some sleuthing. Soon, the elderly pair start working with a young journalist to investigate the case of a missing girl and its possible link to previous unsolved crimes. May finds this new project quite intriguing. She's never met a murderer before--and now she just may get the chance, if they play their cards right . . .
