Pages : 402
Book Description
The second Ladies of Lantern Street novel from Amanda Quick explores the crimes, passions and paranormal secrets of Victorian London. Under the plain gray skirts of Miss Beatrice Lockwood’s gown, a pistol waits at the ready. For Beatrice is a paid companion on a secret mission—and with a secret past—and she must be prepared to fight for her life at any moment. Yet she is thrown oddly off guard by the fierce-looking man who joins her in foiling a crime outside a fancy ball—and then disappears into the shadows, leaving only his card. His name is Joshua Gage, and he claims to know Beatrice’s employers. Beyond that, he is an enigma with a hypnotically calm voice and an ebony-and-steel cane. . . . Joshua, who carries out clandestine investigations for the Crown, is equally intrigued. He has a personal interest in Miss Lockwood, a suspected thief and murderer, not to mention a fraudster who claims to have psychical powers. The quest to discover her whereabouts has pulled him away from his mournful impulses to hurl himself into the sea—and engaged his curiosity about the real Beatrice Lockwood, whose spirit, he suspects, is not as delicate as her face and figure. He does know one thing, though: This flame-haired beauty was present the night Roland Fleming died at the Academy of the Occult. Guilty or not, she is his guide to a trail of blood and blackmail, mesmerism and madness—a path that will lead both of them into the clutches of a killer who calls himself the Bone Man. . . .

Mysteries from the Mysterious Lady, Agatha Christie

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
Agatha Christie continues to be the best-selling mystery novelist of all time, with cumulative global sales exceeding two billion books in more than a hundred languages, despite the frequently dismissive moniker of simple popular fiction. Following are the primary categories in which Christie's own contributions to the genre can be placed: a mockery of her own heroes, craft, and genre; a grand ending when all the characters involved convene for the dramatic reveal of truth; a tranquil, typically upper-class environment into which violence intrudes. The meticulous examination of all hints; a stronger focus on "who" and "why," with less interest in "how"; A fast-paced, simple read is produced by the extensive use of dialogue and swift description, as well as by the readiness to accept any character's guilt, which breaks with convention and sets a new standard. All ages can enjoy the works written by Agatha Christie since they are smooth and easy to read. Agatha Christie, a daring woman at the time, managed to produce something so memorable that, decades later, she is still read and recounted as one of the best authors in history. Read the book to know everything about the master of mystery and her journey towards this title.
