A Lack of Temperance: A Hattie Davish Mystery (A Hattie Davish Mystery #1)
Par Anna Loan-Wilsey. 2012
Introducing Hattie Davish, a traveling secretary who arrives in small Ozark town only to discover her new employer has disappeared . . .…
On the eve of the heated presidential election of 1892, Miss Hattie Davish arrives in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a scenic resort town where those without the scent of whiskey on their breath have the plight of temperance on their tongues. Summoned for her services as a private secretary, Hattie is looking forward to exploring the hills, indulging her penchant for botany—and getting to know the town&’s handsome doctor. But it&’s hard to get her job done with her employer nowhere to be found . . . An army of unassuming women wielding hatchets have descended on the quiet Ozark village, destroying every saloon in their path—and leaving more than a few enemies in their wake. So when their beloved leader, Mother Trevelyan, is murdered, it&’s easy to point fingers. Now that she&’s working for a dead woman, Hattie turns to her trusty typewriter to get to the truth. And as she follows a trail of cryptic death threats, she&’ll come face to face with a killer far more dangerous than the Demon Rum . . .&“A wonderful read from a welcome addition to the genre. This one shouldn&’t be missed—it has it all!&” —Emily Brightwell, New York Times–bestselling author &“[A] delightful debut . . . Cozy fans will eagerly await Hattie&’s next adventure.&” —Publishers Weekly &“This historical cozy debut showcases the author&’s superb research . . . this is a warm beginning.&” —Library JournalKiller Gourmet (A Savannah Reid Mystery #20)

this cozy mystery by the author of Killer Physique. When Savannah Reid and the Moonlight Magnolia gang learn their friends Ryan Stone and John Gibson are planning to open a chic new restaurant in San Carmelita, California, they eagerly offer their input on everything from what dishes to serve to how many calories they should contain. But all Ryan and John can think about is how excited they are to have hired the temperamental but talented chef Baldwin Norwood. Too bad the only thing being sliced and diced in the kitchen is the chef himself . . . As Savannah turns her attention from munchies to murder, she quickly realizes the cantankerous chef left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, and any number of people could have whipped up a recipe for revenge. Could the jilted sous chef he stabbed in the back have done the same to him? Perhaps the loyal girlfriend he took for granted was finally fed up. Or maybe the business partner whose career he ruined had an appetite for blood. Savannah has her work cut out for her, and just when she thinks there couldn&’t be any more suspects, she uncovers a plot more precarious than a perfect soufflé . . .Praise for Killer Gourmet &“Engrossing . . . . Natural dialogue and characters with real-life problems set this series well above the cozy average once again.&” —Publishers WeeklyEvery Body on Deck (A Savannah Reid Mystery #22)

a book were approximately... Oh, never mind. My golden companion worries about such things - I don't. I have indeed now written a book - telling my story, in my voice, not his - recognizing that our voices and our stories are inextricably intertwined."When Star Wars burst onto the big screen in 1977, an unfailingly polite golden droid called C-3PO captured imaginations around the globe. But C-3PO wasn't an amazing display of animatronics with a unique and unforgettable voiceover. Inside the metal costume was an actor named Anthony Daniels.In this deeply personal memoir, Anthony Daniels recounts his experiences of the epic cinematic adventure that has influenced pop culture for more than 40 years. For the very first time, he candidly describes his most intimate memories as the only actor to appear in every Star Wars film - from his first meeting with George Lucas to the final, emotional days on the set of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.With a foreword by J.J. Abrams and never-before-seen photography, this book is a nostalgic look back at the Skywalker saga as it comes to a close. I Am C- 3PO: The Inside Story reveals Anthony Daniels' vulnerability, how he established his role and what he accomplished, and takes readers on a journey that just happens to start in a galaxy far, far away.Star Wars The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia: Join the battle!
