Only For A Knight

Sue-Ellen Welfonder — 2008-07-25T08:03:33-05:00

For ten lusty years, Robbie MacKenzie has savored the sensual pleasures that only a man with no wife can taste. To the lassies of Scotland, he is a living legend, the sole heir of the Black Stag clan, and a prized catch indeed. But Juliana MacKay has no such interest in the rogue or his powerful family. Her mission---to deliver an unpaid debt for her dying mother---is the only thing that could force her within reach of the wayward knight. That is, until an accidental blow to the head sends her reeling right into the brawny arms of Robbie MacKenzie himself.

In the heat of the moment, their passions ignite. But Juliana has forgotten her own identity, as well as her mission---and Robbie has promised to marry a bride from a rival clan. How can these two star-crossed lovers resist the love that burns in their hearts... and the desire that consumes their souls?

The Case of Jennie Brice

Mary Roberts Rinehart — 2008-07-25T08:02:11-05:00

He had not overheard any words, but their voices were quarrelsome, and once he heard a chair or some article of furniture overthrown. Was awakened about two by footsteps on the stairs, followed by the sound of oars in the lower hall. He told his story plainly and simply. Under cross-examination admitted that he was fond of detective stories and had tried to write one himself; that he had said at the store that he would like to see that "conceited ass" swing, referring to the prisoner; that he had sent flowers to Jennie Brice at the theater, and had made a few advances to her, without success.

Mystery's Most Wanted: The Year's Finest Crime and Mystery Stories

Staff of Mystery Scene — 2008-07-25T08:02:07-05:00

John Harvey, Lawrence Block, Ian Rankin, Anne Perry, and Peter Lovesey are just a few of the blockbuster mystery novelists who prove, in this smartly selected paperback, that they can also shine on a smaller stage. Mystery's Most Wanted offers more diverse pleasure for its low price than most collections. Harvey says that the occasional short story that he writes about his homicide detective Charlie Resnick (like the richly detailed "She Rote" in this collection) lets him try out themes for possible use in novels. Marcia Muller's gemlike story "The Holes in the System" pushes her usual star, Sharon McCone, to a back burner while McCone's assistant solves a case. And Rankin's Inspector John Rebus doesn't even appear in the mordant little nugget "Principles of Accounts," which begins with this gripping description of a kidnapper's work: "It began as a hobby. But then quite quickly the hobby became a career, and now he was a professional, taking a professional's care in the details of his craft..."

Two for the Dough (Stephanie Plum, Bk 2)

Janet Evanovich — 2008-07-25T07:59:51-05:00

Now Stephanie's back, armed with attitude -- not to mention stun guns, defense sprays, killer flashlights, and her trusty .38. Stephanie is after a new bail jumper, Kenny Mancuso, a boy from Trenton's burg. He's fresh out of the army, suspiciously wealthy, and he's just shot his best friend.

With her bounty hunter pal Ranger stepping in occasionally to advise her, Stephanie staggers knee deep in corpses and caskets as she traipses through back streets, dark alleys, and funeral parlors.

And nobody knows funeral parlors better than Stephanie's irrepressible Grandma Mazur, a lady whose favorite pastime is grabbing a front-row seat at a neighborhood wake. So Stephanie uses Grandma as a cover to follow leads, but loses control when Grandma warms to the action, packing a cool pistol. Much to the family's chagrin, Stephanie and Granny may soon have the elusive Kenny in their sights.

Fast-talking, slow-handed vice cop Joe Morelli joins in the case, since the prey happens to be his young cousin. And if the assignment calls for an automobile stakeout for two with the woman who puts his libido in overdrive, Morelli's not one to object.

Low on expertise but learning fast, high on resilience, and despite the help she gets from friends and relatives, Stephanie eventually must face the danger alone when embalmed body parts begin to arrive on her doorstep and she's targeted for a nasty death by the most loathsome adversary she's ever encountered. Another case like this and she'll be a real pro.
