Sherlock Holmes: The Game of Cat and Mouse
Summary
An enhanced audiobook with complete music score and extensive sound effects to add to your listening experience. The interior was dark and neither of us searched for a lamp or switch. There came a ticking of some clock or another. And the sound of a dripping faucet somewhere in the house was like a hammer to an anvil. Our breaths were loud, but my heart sounded louder to me. Interestingly enough, Holmes moved as though he'd been through here before. I had no time to ponder this, as somewhere behind us I heard a door shut and then the click of a lock.

Summary
Ten Compelling Sherlock Holmes Crime Mysteries in One Complete Audiobook "The Game of Cat and Mouse": There came a ticking of some clock or another. And the sound of a dripping faucet somewhere in the house was like a hammer to an anvil. Our breaths were loud, but my heart sounded louder to me. "The Mystery of the Faceless Bride": The bride carried no decaying roses, but her bridal dress was torn and burnt. Her bare legs, starved needle points, staggered disjointedly. "The Case of the Cracked Mirror": The fireman had seen a skeleton wearing a dress coat, whose head was aflame. I was deeply worried for the missing young woman. "A Strange Affair with the Woman on the Tracks": They began to struggle. Henry was the stronger out of the two, yet the woman's pain was unstoppable. His hands wrapped around her throat, and Jane clawed at his face until she fell. "The Curse of a Native": Adams had violently slapped Kimilu so hard that the sheer force had floored the waiter, and the usually humble waiter had lost it. "The Mystery of the Poisoned Tomb": "Ah good morning, John. If we do not hurry then we shall miss the unveiling of the sarcophagus." Holmes and I made our way through. They had been waiting for us. I couldn't wait to see if there really was a pharaoh in the next room. "The Case of the Missing Mayan Codices": "I do not suppose that you have brought your revolver with you, Watson?" I shook my head to indicate that my response was in the negative to his question. "Murders on the Voyage to India": "Murder." The scream echoed down the hallway, shaking me from my slumber and into the dim vision of the electric lights. Plus more....

Seneca Falls and the Origins of the Women's Rights Movement
Summary
In the quiet town of Seneca Falls, New York, over the course of two days in July 1848, a small group of women and men, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, held a convention that would launch the woman's rights movement and change the course of history. The implications of that remarkable convention would be felt around the world - and indeed are still being felt today. In Seneca Falls and the Origins of the Woman's Rights Movement, the latest contribution to Oxford's acclaimed Pivotal Moments in American History series, Sally McMillen unpacks, for the first time, the full significance of that revolutionary convention and the enormous changes it produced. The book covers 50 years of women's activism, from 1840 to 1890, focusing on four extraordinary figures: Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, and Susan B. Anthony. McMillen tells the stories of their lives, how they came to take up the cause of women's rights, the astonishing advances they made during their lifetimes, and the lasting and transformative effects of the work they did. At the convention, they asserted full equality with men, argued for greater legal rights, greater professional and education opportunities, and the right to vote - ideas considered wildly radical at the time. Indeed, looking back at the convention two years later, Anthony called it "the grandest and greatest reform of all time - and destined to be thus regarded by the future historian." In this lively and warmly written study, Sally McMillen may well be the future historian Anthony was hoping to find. A vibrant portrait of a major turning point in American women's history, and in human history, this book is essential for anyone wishing to fully understand the origins of the woman's rights movement.The “Pivotal Moments in American History” series seeks to unite the old and the new history, combining the insights and techniques of recent historiography with the power of traditional narrative. Each title has a strong narrative arc with drama, irony, suspense, and – most importantly – great characters who embody the human dimension of historical events. The general editors of “Pivotal Moments” are not just historians; they are popular writers themselves, and, in two cases, Pulitzer Prize winners: David Hackett Fischer, James M. McPherson, and David Greenberg. We hope you like your American History served up with verve, wit, and an eye for the telling detail!
