He has curried favor with the nation’s most respected aristocrats, even inviting three influential investors—known as the Merry Gentlemen—to be part of his latest enterprise. Edison is welcomed in the highest circles and moves with ease among the rich and powerful. But a few days before Christmas, he is found murdered. Inspector Witherspoon and his household are looking forward to the festive season. But they all know their duty, and led by the intrepid Mrs. Jeffries, they plan to see justice served for the holidays... Mrs. Jeffries keeps house for Inspector Witherspoon...and keeps him on his toes. Everyone’s awed by his Scotland Yard successes—but they don’t know about his secret weapon. No matter how messy the murder or how dirty the deed, Mrs. Jeffries’ polished detection skills are up to the task...proving that behind every great man there’s a woman—and that a crimesolver’s work is never done.

Book Description

Andrew’s journey began with spiritual healing, and led into visiting spiritualist centres in England, Wales, Scotland and Sweden. His experiences sparked a desire to join various circles and experience literally hundreds of séances and hearing those addressed by those in spirit. Since his first tentative steps into the world of spiritualism, he has witnessed transfiguration, physical mediumship, and was involved in ‘rescue work’. He has seen many mediums giving fine examples of mental mediumship, and gained awareness of clairvoyance and clairsentience for himself. Andrew has also had the wonderful adventure of having spirits use him for psychic art. Equipped with his new knowledge, Andrew now realises that events in his life have been symbolic and a sign that his spirit guide has been with him throughout his life. He now wishes to share the same message of positivity and hope with others. An Ordinary Life...? is an excellent introduction to spiritualism from a personal viewpoint, and will provide encouragement for those who have been seeking deeper meaning in their own lives.

Book Description

A sparkling collection of Regency romances from the popular author with “considerably more wit and pizazz than the legendary Georgette [Heyer] herself” (Kirkus Reviews). A true artist of Regency romance, Fiona Hill paints pictures of the past with warmth and charm, enchanting readers the world over with her beautiful, heartfelt tales. Ladies and lords, viscounts and estates, Fiona Hill weaves spellbinding stories that bring readers back in time and set them in the middle of household intrigue, of passion and peril, of complicated men and independent women. In these nine tour-de-force novels, Hill takes her readers on a journey to a bygone era, into the beating heart of Regency-era England, where trouble is always afoot—and so is new love . . . Praise for the novels of Fiona Hill “In the battle of the sexes waged in this lively Regency romance, the contestants are overtaken by circumstances . . . The victory is detailed with wit and verve.”—Publishers Weekly on The Country Gentleman “[A] very un-fusty Regency frolic, this one featuring a quartet of nicely matched pairs . . . another little winner.”—Kirkus Reviews on The Stanbroke Girls
