Crimson Snow
Author: Martin Edwards
Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1464206767
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder "Edwards's second winter-themed anthology in the British Library Crime Classics series is a standout. As in the most successful of such volumes, the editor's expertise results in a selection of unusual suspects, expanding readers' knowledge." —Publishers Weekly STARRED review Crimson Snow brings together a dozen vintage crime stories set in winter. Welcome to a world of Father Christmases behaving oddly, a famous fictional detective in a Yuletide drama, mysterious tracks in the snow, and some very unpleasant carol singers. There's no denying that the supposed season of goodwill is a time of year that lends itself to detective fiction. On a cold night, it's tempting to curl up by the fireside with a good mystery. And more than that, claustrophobic house parties, with people cooped up with long-estranged relatives, can provide plenty of motives for murder. Including forgotten stories by major writers such as Margery Allingham, as well as classic tales by less familiar crime novelists, each story in this selection is introduced by the leading expert on classic crime, Martin Edwards. The resulting volume is an entertaining and atmospheric compendium of wintry delights.

Of Snow and Scarlet

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
I found myself caught somewhere between nightmares--bitter flashes of fur and fang, hot breath, full snarls--and hopes and dreams as soft as gossamer, fleeting as sparrow in the snow, impossible to pin. Through it all was the memory of Finn's mouth on mine, the brush of his lips, the shaking of his body as it pressed against me. He was all nerves and quiet, tender desperation. An outcast with a proclivity for poisons, Andesine De Winter longs for a life outside her closed-minded village. But she's drawn to the surrounding forests of Thornwood, and the mysterious white wolf that saved her life as a child. When the wolf reveals himself as the shape-changing Finn, an omega hiding from his former pack, Andesine finds herself in the middle of a conflict that threatens everything she holds dear--her dreams, her family, and the boy she's given her heart to. There is more than one way to lose yourself, and more than one kind of wolf in the woods... CW: This book is suitable for older teens and adults, with some sexual content Praise for "Of Snow and Scarlet": "She's only gone and done it again! A fantastic cast of characters, histories unearthed, revelations, confrontations, a whole lot of banter and a steaming pile of C.H.E.M.I.S.T.R.Y." "I don't think I can put into words how much I loved this book." "If you love a well built relationship, fun characters, beautiful atmosphere and world building that completely immerses you, add this one to you collection now!"

Forgiving My Father, Forgiving Myself
Author: Ruth Graham
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493419218
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
When we live with unresolved anger or hurt, the result is nearly always bitterness, broken relationships, and unhealthy behaviors. Unforgiveness not only sabotages our interactions with those around us, it impedes our own spiritual growth and inner peace. And it can happen to anyone. In her most vulnerable writing yet, Ruth Graham reveals how a visit to Angola Prison inspired her to release the unforgiveness lurking in her own heart--toward others, herself, and even her heavenly Father and her earthly father, evangelist Billy Graham. In this encouraging book, she weaves her own personal experiences with biblical examples to explore what holds us back from forgiving others and ourselves--and what we gain when we finally discover the power to forgive. Along the way, she guides us into our own deeply personal experiences of forgiveness that will penetrate our protective walls and unleash true transformation in our lives.
