The Highbury Murders: A Mystery Set in the Village of Jane Austen's Emma
Summary
EXCERPT: The death of Mrs. Bates, a very old lady whose hearing had long since gone and who had spent her last few months either in her bedroom or sitting in her chair in the parlor, would have gone unremarked in London, where people spent their time discussing fashion, nobility, and the latest offering at the theatre. In Bath, her decease might have been mentioned as a piece of dull news, before the residents and visitors resumed discussing who had been seen at the Pump Room during the day or who was giving a whist party that night. In Highbury, however, Mrs. Bates’s passing was an event which was talked over in every house, both great and small. Jane Austen's Emma has been described as a detective story without a body - except for those who read carefully, there actually is a body, and the potential for an excellent mystery story. Set about a year after Emma closes, The Highbury Murders pays homage to the wit of Jane Austen and the whodunits of Agatha Christie. You do not need to have read Jane Austen's books to enjoy this novel, but if you have - if you regret that she wrote only six - The Highbury Murders is a welcome extension to her world. Pour yourself a cup of tea, settle somewhere comfortable, and indulge yourself with the proverbial good read.

Hunters of the Feather
Summary
Shortly after Sol hatches, his parents and nestmates discover the young crow is a gifted “thinker-linker”: able to communicate with distant birds, with the souls of dead birds - and even with humans! As Sol masters flight and makes his first migration, he learns many members of the Great Flock - birds all over the world – are suffering from terrible catastrophes. Fewer insects, murdered forests, even the lack of krill in the oceans: These are all caused by the ever-growing number of humans. The ancient wisdom, “adapt or die”, is no longer enough, and Sol leads the hunt for a way to save birdkind from extinction. Hunters of the Feather is the first of a series called the Crow Nickels (chronicles), in which Sol joins other daring birds in a quest to save the planet.
