Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop TalkingQuiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh’s sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.

A Choice of Victims

A Choice of Victims

The death of wealthy Elizabeth Doyle, a pillar of the local community, shakes the village of West Deering.  Who could hold a fatal grudge against such a woman - and act upon it in such quiet, sleepy surroundings? She went missing, along with her car, whilst distributing food for the Meals on Wheels service. The prime suspects are two London youths, in a clear-cut case of an outsider attack. However, it appears that the evidence is misleading. The killer is much closer to home - someone from the centre of this quiet community.
