Currently Reading:
The Confession & Sight Unseen (two novellas in one volume) by Mary Roberts Rinehart: "The Confession": Fragile,
genteel old Miss Emily Benton was the last person on earth anyone would
ever suspect of wrongdoing. She had graciously allowed Agnes Blakiston
and her servant Maggie to occupy the Benton family home for the summer
rent-free. But the women soon found that something was wrong--horribly
wrong. There were midnight phone calls--but no one was ever on
the line. There were footprints in the garden and other evidence of a
nocturnal invader--but no one was ever there. And there was the
incredible document found hidden in the house: Miss Emily's confession
to murder! Night by agonizing night, the terror mounted--and what was to
have been a dream vacation became a nightmare of fear that could end in
only one way: death!
"Sight Unseen": the Neighborhood Club, a
group of six friends, decide to hold a séance for fun- only to have a
blood-curdling crime reenacted before their eyes. Soon, they are hot on
the trail of a murderer.
Books that spark my interest:
The Penguin Book of Victorian Women in Crime by Michael Sims (ed)
Lake of Sorrows by Erin Hart
Star Trek & Philosophy: The Wrath of Kant by Jason T Eberl & Kevin S Decker (eds)
