Murder is rotten. Genteel Southern lady Estelle Watkins didn't expect to find a little surprise in her trash can, and she certainly didn't expect her son to get accused of murder. Determined to save him from spending the rest of his life on death row - or worse - she's thrown into the middle of an investigation along with Vera, her next-door neighbor and faithful sidekick. Their methods are a bit unusual, but never underestimate a woman on a mission to protect her son....

From one of literature’s finest storytellers comes an enchanting tale of secrets, the supernatural—and fatal attraction.
Renowned English surgeon Arthur Burdon is engaged to the beautiful Margaret Dauncey, who is studying art in Paris. The match is met with approval from all sides, and everyone is happy—until the mysterious Oliver Haddo enters the picture. Both Arthur and his fiancée dislike the enormously fat and eccentric Oliver but are fascinated by his stories of black magic, by his demonstrations of a power that seems inhuman. And while they scoff at his boasts, their dislike turns to loathing.
A month later, Margaret disappears. The note she leaves behind begins: “When you receive this, I shall be on my way to London. I was married to Oliver Haddo this morning.” Why? How? What mysterious power had the Magician used? What further revenge might he be plotting? The answers are revealed in this hair-raising fantasy.
Wins are so much fun! Taking Out the Trash looks like a good one.
“Win” is a bit strong a word, since based on the number of entries, we were all winners.
Nice reading.
I hope I’ll enjoy them.
Ooo, The Magician. I want to give that one a try. Happy reading.
It sounds good. Probably a bit dated, but I’m hoping it’s fun nonetheless.
Taking out the trash sounds like a good read. I’m yet to indulge in an audio book. I have so many on my shelf to read first.
I love audiobooks. They let me read while I’m doing other things like walking or the dishes.
Always fun to win. Taking Out the Trash looks like fun and The Magician sounds good. Happy Reading!
