Book Description
What happens when small-town murder meets a big-hearted café owner? Grab a cuppa, get settled in your favourite reading spot, and get acquainted with café owner Charlotte Denver, the well-meaning, but hilariously politically-incorrect members of her small-town community, and Pippin the dog. These clean, fun, cozy mysteries have plenty of recipes to try for yourself, but no gore, graphic language, sex or violence, and no pesky cliffhangers! Plenty of laughs, amateur sleuthing, and murder await in this four-book collection, set on England's beautiful Cornish coast, in the fictional town of St. Eves. TAPAS, CARROT CAKE AND A CORPSE - BOOK 1 Small-town murder was never so calculated... When a stranger is murdered, the residents of a close-knit community close ranks as the hunt for a killer gathers pace, and it's not long before inquisitive café owner Charlotte Denver is desperate for a return to carefree, small-town life. Determined to do whatever she can to see the killer behind bars, she starts poking around in things she shouldn't... and discovers a secret that rocks the bustling coastal town to its core. FUDGE CAKE, FELONY AND A FUNERAL - BOOK 2 Grief, greed and grudges - the perfect recipe for murder... As the townspeople bid a final goodbye to a much-loved member of the community, and relatives of the deceased arrive in St. Eves, it's not long before tempers flare as they become consumed by greed, intent to get their hands on the family fortune. When a body is discovered, will Charlotte find the vital clue to the killer's identity before anyone else is bumped off? SPARE RIBS, SECRETS AND A SCANDAL - BOOK 3 Sometimes it's the people you think you know best who are keeping the biggest secrets... As Charlotte prepares to move into her new home, life couldn't be sunnier. However, when old friends return to the town, tragedy follows close behind and it's not long before she finds herself trying to clear her best friend's name as long-hidden secrets and a scandal from years gone by are revealed. In a race against time to save a loved one, Charlotte needs every one of her amateur sleuthing skills as the story reaches it shocking climax. Will she be too late to save the day? PUMPKINS, PERIL AND A PAELLA - BOOK 4 A ghost from the past resurfaces at Halloween and Charlotte soon realises they'll stop at nothing to get what they want... When a dead body is discovered during the annual St. Eves' Halloween fair, it isn't long before Charlotte finds herself up to her neck in helping to solve another murder mystery. This one, however, proves to be a little too close to home for her liking as she finds herself, and the man she loves, in danger. With clues to find, a killer to catch and a wedding to organise, Charlotte has her work cut out. Come and solve the mysteries and have a little fun along the way, with engaging characters, and a little romance. All books were written using British English spelling and terminology.

Hope and Suffering
Author: Gretchen Krueger
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421429187
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Gretchen Krueger's poignant narrative explores how doctors, families, and the public interpreted the experience of childhood cancer from the 1930s through the 1970s. Pairing the transformation of childhood cancer from killer to curable disease with the personal experiences of young patients and their families, Krueger illuminates the twin realities of hope and suffering. In this social history, each decade follows a family whose experience touches on key themes: possible causes, means and timing of detection, the search for curative treatment, the merit of alternative treatments, the decisions to pursue or halt therapy, the side effects of treatment, death and dying—and cure. Recounting the complex and sometimes contentious interactions among the families of children with cancer, medical researchers, physicians, advocacy organizations, the media, and policy makers, Krueger reveals that personal odyssey and clinical challenge are the simultaneous realities of childhood cancer. This engaging study will be of interest to historians, medical practitioners and researchers, and people whose lives have been altered by cancer.

Mysteries of Police and Crime
Author: Arthur George Frederick Griffiths
Publisher: Library of Alexandria
ISBN: 1465604197
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 684
Book Description
ÊIt may be said that society itself creates the crimes that most beset it. If the good things of life were more evenly distributed, if everyone had his rights, if there were no injustice, no oppression, there would be no attempts to readjust an unequal balance by violent or flagitious means. There is some force in this, but it is very far from covering the whole ground, and it cannot excuse many forms of crime. Crime, indeed, is the birthmark of humanity, a fatal inheritance known to the theologians as original sin. Crime, then, must be constantly present in the community, and every son of Adam may, under certain conditions, be drawn into it. To paraphrase a great saying, some achieve crime, some have it thrust upon them; but most of us (we may make the statement without subscribing to all the doctrines of the criminal anthropologists) are born to crime. The assertion is as old as the hills; it was echoed in the fervent cry of pious John Bradford when he pointed to the man led out to execution, ÒThere goes John Bradford but for the grace of God!Ó Criminals are manufactured both by social cross-purposes and by the domestic neglect which fosters the first fatal predisposition. ÒAssuredly external factors and circumstances count for much in the causation of crime,Ó says Maudsley. The preventive agencies are all the more necessary where heredity emphasises the universal natural tendency. The taint of crime is all the more potent in those whose parentage is evil. The germ is far more likely to flourish into baleful vitality if planted by congenital depravity. This is constantly seen with the offspring of criminals. But it is equally certain that the poison may be eradicated, the evil stamped out, if better influences supervene betimes. Even the most ardent supporters of the theory of the Òborn criminalÓ admit that this, as some think, imaginary monster, although possessing all the fatal characteristics, does not necessarily commit crime. The bias may be checked; it may lie latent through life unless called into activity by certain unexpected conditions of time and chance. An ingenious refinement of the old adage, ÒOpportunity makes the thief,Ó has been invented by an Italian scientist, Baron Garofalo, who declares that Òopportunity only reveals the thiefÓ; it does not create the predisposition, the latent thievish spirit.
