Treachery in Torquay
The year is 1905, and residents along the southern coast of England are experiencing a series of tragic events which threaten the serenity of Torquay. The lovely resort city has long been a favorite destination for those individuals seeking a respite from the smoke and noise of many of the industrial cities of England and the “Continent.” Now, however, the townspeople are dealing with a series of brutal crimes, the likes of which they have never seen before! Citizens are living in constant fear. Incidents which have occurred over several months have taken their toll on the collective community psyche, leading to great unrest. What was once an idyllic region has now become a most uncomfortable place in which to live and raise a family. Murder can do that to a community! It is into this dangerous environment that Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson have come. They've been summoned by one of the area's civic leaders who has problems of his own. As they conduct their investigation, they meet a rather unique personality who simply can't keep out of their way. One thing is certain, Torquay will never be the same.
Mothers of the Mind
' The relationship between my grandmother and her mother was very important and indeed crucial to her childhood and the very early days of her writing ... So, to have more insight into this particular aspect of my grandmother's early life is very valuable.' Mathew Prichard, Agatha Christie's grandson Virginia Woolf, Agatha Christie and Sylvia Plath are three of our most famous authors. For the first time this book tells in full the story of the remarkable mothers who shaped them. Julia Stephen, Clara Miller and Aurelia Plath were fascinating women in their own rights, and their relationships with their daughters were exceptional; they profoundly influenced the writers' lives, literature and attitude to feminism. Too often in the past Virginia, Agatha and Sylvia have been defined by their lovers – Mothers of the Mind redresses the balance by charting the complex, often contradictory, bond between mother and daughter. Drawing on previously unpublished sources from archives around the world and accounts from family and friends of the women, this book offers a new perspective on these iconic authors.

Understanding Agatha Christie
Explores seven startling paradoxes behind the bestselling novelist's lasting popularity Agatha Christie stands as the bestselling novelist of all time and, in terms of total sales in all genres, places only behind the Christian Bible and Shakespeare.

From her puzzling persona (notably in her eleven-day disappearance in 1926) and status as "Queen of the Cozies" to her tragicomic themes and critiques of Englishness, Christie built a lasting literary legacy that perplexes and pleases her hordes of readers. In Understanding Agatha Christie, Tison Pugh takes a fresh look at the contemporary world's most popular author, investigating seven notable paradoxes behind her lasting success, thereby illuminating the literary innovations that have contributed to her uncannily timeless appeal.
