Im Blaclava County verschwindet der Experte für Milchwirtschaft spurlos. Ein verzwickter Fall für Peter Shandy.

In einem elitären Bostoner Club geschieht ein Mord. Max Bittersohn - selbst Mitglied dieser noblen Kreise - muss erneut seine detektivischen Fähigkeiten beweisen.

Immediately after the Grub-and-Stakers hired an antique expert to be the curator of their museum, he met a grisly end, falling from an attic window. Amateur sleuth Dittany Henbit Monk wanted answers--especially to the question of an heirloom quilt's connection to the murder.

Kriminalroman.

A college student, invited to spend the summer with an uncle she has not seen since childhood, soon suspects he may be an impostor.

Adelaide Cutter had been scarred physically as well as emotionally by the ugly circumstances of her father’s death. Now, as a shy but enthusiastic beginner in an art studio, she was starting a new life for herself. If her tiny Beacon Hill apartment wasn’t much by the standards of her materialistic guardians, at least it meant that Adelaide could have a place to call her own—place where, if nothing else, she could hide from anyone who might notice what a bullet had done to her cheek. But her quiet life was to change suddenly. Late one night, a well-dressed stranger knocked on Adelaide’s door seeking assistance for her elderly landlady who had collapsed. The emergency was taken care of quickly. But the stranger—Nathaniel West—had become intrigued by tiny, blonde Adelaide, and—when he learned her name—he was intrigued also in learning the details of her father’s death. So, she was soon to learn, was his invalid father, who was full of questions as well as theories. From her association with the wealthy and independent Wests, Adelaide discovered that she was not, after all, the ugly duckling she had thought she was—nor was she living a very safe life!

THE END of the summer before, Annette Sotherby, daughter of one of the wealthy summer people on Netaquid Island has been kidnapped under mysterious circumstances and returned under even stranger circumstances. The Netaquidders, who earned a scant livelihood from the sea and from working for the summer people, spent days looking for Annette. Yet once she had been returned, there had been no word of thanks. Instead, the cottagers seemed determined to ignore the islanders. But that changed when Mr. and Mrs. Truell both had to leave and there was no one to care for Sammy Truell, except the Collettis, the old Italian couple who could not keep up with an active four year old. So Molly Bassett was hired. And it was not long before she began to learn just why things were so tight for islanders. The Kidnapping had had strange consequences she was not supposed to talk about, and the islanders were implicated. It was up to Molly not only to discover the truth of what had happened the year before, but ultimately to solve a brand new and even more disastrous kidnapping in order to bring the islanders once more into favor with the summer people and give them a chance to earn the money they so desperately needed.
