Man Bites Dog
When Satan, a territorial Doberman pinscher, winds up dead, Steven, a young mailman, turns amateur detective in order to clear his name in this comic mystery novel. Coping with 20-something, post-college angst, he fumbles his way through his first love and his first career with the help of his Murder She Wrote–addicted best friend, Gina. The book also features original comic strip art by the author interspersed throughout the text.
In this intricate mystery first published in 1937, Poirot receives a letter — two months after it was written — from rich spinster Emily Arundell about a possible attempt on her life. Suspicious, Poirot heads for her hometown of Market Basing to find her already dead. A now cold trail of clues leads Poirot through a colorful cast of characters and one of Christie’s typically cozy villages as he attempts to solve a murder that confounds even his superior skills. Narrator: Hugh Fraser
Roberts again proves that he's perfectly at home in the urban sprawl of ancient Rome as his sleuth Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger follows a trail of suspicious deaths to the heart of a dangerous conspiracy. When a banker and a building contractor are murdered in the street, Roman officials are disinterested. Although the second murder was clumsily amateurish, Decius suspects the murders are related and ominous portents of things to come: he also has stumbled on a cache of arms hidden in the Temple of Saturn.
When the ghost of Hamlet's father reveals the terrible secret of Elsinore, the result is chaos and tragedy for the young Prince of Denmark. Will he avenge his father's murder? Is he really mad? Does he love the beautiful Ophelia?
A Small Case of Murder is set in the quaint town of Chester, West Virginia, where everyone knows everyone, and there is never a secret that someone doesn't know. In such a small intimate village, how many disappearances can be left unquestioned? Following the death of his wife, Joshua Thornton moves into his ancestral home across country with his five children. While clearing out the attic, the children find a 34-year-old letter to their grandmother that implicates a local minister in an unreported murder.
