When the reclusive Earl of Unsworth’s first party in over a decade is spoiled by murder, His Lordship’s loyal and efficient secretary, Mr. Quayle, must unravel a web of red-herrings and buried secrets in this "English country house mystery infused with humor, verve, and plenty of surprises." (Kirkus Reviews) “I do not wish to disturb you, your lordship, but there is a body in the garden…” England, 1925. When a strange young woman is found murdered on the grounds of Unsworth Castle, the Earl and his family are astounded at first, but quickly become enraged when the police begin asking all sorts of impertinent questions. And when suspicions dare to fall on one of their own, it is up to Mr. Quayle, Lord Unsworth’s exceedingly efficient secretary, to find the true culprit and save the House of Unsworth from scandal and ruin. ____________________ Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Benedict Brown, Karen Baugh Menuhin, or Dorothy L Sayers. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT A MOST EFFICIENT MURDER: "Thanks to vivid writing, lively characters, and quietly snarky humor...this entertaining mystery hits all the right genre buttons in a fresh way. An English country house mystery infused with humor, verve, and plenty of surprises." - Kirkus Reviews "Reminiscent of the tone of classic mysteries which deliver suspects, clues, and questions around each corner...A Most Efficient Murder is clever, enjoyable, charming, and a must-read for all historical mystery lovers." - Reader's Favorite (Five Star Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I recommend A Most Efficient Murder - especially to those who enjoy taking a step back in time and reading an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery!" , Valleri M., NetGalley ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “As an aficionado of the Golden Age of Crime, this did not disappoint but amply rewarded in droves. Billed as the first in the Mr. Quayle mysteries, the second is now eagerly awaited.” –Ruth G., NetGalley ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I absolutely loved the book. It’s a murder mystery house party à la Agatha Christie style…and it kept me interested the entire book. As a bonus I absolutely did not know who the killer was.” –Lynn B., NetGalley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A lovely and intriguing read. Twists, turns and red herrings abound!” –Lorna M., NetGalley ⭐⭐⭐ "I quite enjoyed this book...it is well written and the characters work well. Highly recommended." –Laura F., NetGalley THE DETECTIVE Quiet, methodical, and eminently efficient, Mr. Quayle has been Lord Unsworth’s personal secretary for almost a year now, but their connection runs far deeper and has its origins in the horror and trenches of France. Serving in the same regiment as Theodore Statham, Lord Unsworth’s only son-and-heir, Mr. Quayle wrote to the family when Teddy was killed on the Western Front. Unable to protect His Lordship’s son, Mr. Quayle is determined to save Lord Unsworth’s remaining family—from themselves, if necessary. THE SETTING Unsworth Castle, nestled on the outskirts of Hartchester County, was once widely considered to be amongst England’s oldest and grandest stately homes, but is now a crumbling ruin of its former self. Burnt down twice in the past century alone, the castle has been built and rebuilt countless times, leaving a labyrinth of hidden passages, forgotten rooms, and crumbling halls. Previous attempts to restore the castle to its former glory have all but bankrupted the family, and the current Earl of Unsworth has been largely content to allow his estate to fade back into picturesque ruin.

A pleasure cruise for mystery buffs soon becomes a playground for a devious killer in the acclaimed author’s beloved series. Mystery bookstore owner Annie Darling has planned a murder mystery cruise in the waters off her not-always-idyllic isle of Broward’s Rock, South Carolina. Everything is going swimmingly—until one of the revelers plunges overboard. And despite hubby Max’s courageous rescue attempt, make-believe murder turns into real-life death. As the body count rises over the next few days, Annie begins to suspect that all the victims were murdered most foully, and that they are all connected in some unknown way.

A treat for fans of Masterpiece Mystery and Downton Abbey, Colleen Cambridge’s charming and inventive new historical series introduces an unforgettable heroine in Phyllida Bright, fictional housekeeper for none other than famed mystery novelist Agatha Christie. Hijinks—and murder—ensue. Tucked away among Devon’s rolling green hills, Mallowan Hall combines the best of English tradition with the modern conveniences of 1930. Housekeeper Phyllida Bright manages the large household with an iron fist in her very elegant glove. In one respect, however, Mallowan Hall stands far apart from other picturesque country houses. For the manor is home to archaeologist Max Mallowan and his famous wife—Agatha Christie . . . Phyllida is both loyal to and protective of the crime writer, who is as much friend as employer. An aficionado of detective fiction, Phyllida has yet to find a gentleman in real life half as fascinating as Mrs. Agatha’s Belgian hero, Hercule Poirot. But though accustomed to murder and its methods as frequent topics of conversation, Phyllida is unprepared for the sight of a very real, very dead body on the library floor . . . It soon becomes clear that the victim arrived at Mallowan Hall under false pretenses during a weekend party. And when another dead body is discovered—this time, one of her housemaids—Phyllida decides to follow in M. Poirot’s footsteps to determine which of the Mallowans’ guests is the killer. Now only Phyllida’s wits will prevent her own story from coming to an abrupt end . . .

This book analyzes recent physics plays, arguing that their enaction of concepts from the sciences they discuss alters the nature of the decisions made by the characters, changing the ethical judgements that might be cast on them. Recent physics plays regularly alter the shape of space-time itself, drawing together disparate moments, reversing the flow of time, creating apparent contradictions, and iterating scenes for multiple branches of counterfactual history. With these changes both causality and responsibility shift, variously. The roles of iconic scientists, such as Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg, are interrogated for their dramatic value, placing history and dramatic license in tension. Cold War strategies and the limits of espionage highlight the emphatically personal involvement of ordinary individuals. This study is vital reading for those interested in physics plays and the relationship between the sciences and the humanities.

Paris, 1890. When Sherlock Holmes finds himself chasing an art dealer through the streets of Paris, he’s certain he’s smoked out one of the principals of a cunning forgery ring responsible for the theft of some of the Louvre’s greatest masterpieces. But for once, Holmes is dead wrong. He doesn’t know that the dealer, Theo Van Gogh, is rushing to the side of his brother, who lies dying of a gunshot wound in Auvers. He doesn’t know that the dealer’s brother is a penniless misfit artist named Vincent, known to few and mourned by even fewer. Officialdom pronounces the death a suicide, but a few minutes at the scene convinces Holmes it was murder. And he’s bulldog-determined to discover why a penniless painter who harmed no one had to be killed–and who killed him. Who could profit from Vincent’s death? How is the murder entwined with his own forgery investigation? Holmes must retrace the last months of Vincent’s life, testing his mettle against men like the brutal Paul Gauguin and the secretive Toulouse-Lautrec, all the while searching for the girl Olympia, whom Vincent named with his dying breath. She can provide the truth, but can anyone provide the proof? From the madhouse of St. Remy to the rooftops of Paris, Holmes hunts a killer—while the killer hunts him.
