But murder? In a strict, religious society in 1830s rural Ohio, a 16-year-old girl is murdered because she's pregnant, but the only person who suspects it wasn't an accident is Adelaide, a young midwife, who worries that the remedy she gave the girl for a "woman's ailment" caused her death. Adelaide's husband, Benjamin, fearful that they'll be banned from the prosperous community, forbids her from questioning the girl's death. But a mistake she made years ago cost the life of a mother and her unborn babe, and Adelaide vowed to never let another mother die. Pressure mounts when Adelaide is accused of harming the girl, but the allegation only fuels her determination to find the killer, even though she begins to suspect that her husband might be involved in the girl's death. And the more she investigates, not only does she start to question her own faith and beliefs, but she finds herself attracted to an unlikely man in the community, a man who has vowed to remain celibate. Then her questions alert the outside authorities, and now this isolated community is invaded by the very society they had shunned. Critic Reviews: "...an enticing read of small village intrigue in early America," (Midwest Book Review)

Title: Last Case Subtitle: A Pittsburgh Homicide Squad Mystery, Book 1 Author: John Luciew Narrator: Robert King Ross Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 04-19-13 Publisher: John C. Luciew Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Historical Publisher's Summary: A brutal crime. A dogged detective. And 34 years of unreasonable doubt. It's 1978 and horror director George A. Romero is gearing up to shoot his zombie cult classic Dawn of the Dead just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On Halloween night, a 12-year-old girl dressed as Olivia Newton-John's character from Grease is slashed to death in a brutal crime. Her blood-soaked corpse is found on the back patio of an unhappy steelworkers home on the outskirts of the city. But as imperfect as they both are, the girl's estranged parents seem incapable of this level of violence. The shocking case ignites a war within the police department, pitting old-school detective Sal Flores against college-educated upstart Finbarr Mulcahy. Forced to work together, the two detectives follow a trail of evidence to a special-effects guru working on the Dawn of the Dead production. Did this makeup man's obsession with bloody violence veer from make-believe into murder? A key piece of evidence tied to the zombie movie set seems to clinch the case. But Mulcahy isn't so sure. And the uncertainty nags at him for the next 34 years. Until the veteran detective, now in the late stages of cancer, decides to revisit the case one last time. The detective is joined by a young protege in the department who lost a limb in the Iraq war. Along with Mulcahy's beautiful nurse, they pursue the real killer in hopes of unraveling more than three decades of mystery. All before Mulcahy takes the final secrets to his own grave. Told in chapters that alternate between past and present, this mystery will leave you guessing until the very end. It's a battle against bureaucracy, a stone-cold killer's unmerciful evil - and mortality itself. You won't be able to stop listening until Mulcahy discovers the final twist hidden at the heart of this case. It was his first case. Now, it will be his last. The only question is, can Mulcahy uncover the truth in time?

Title: Cezanne's Quarry Author: Barbara Pope Narrator: David Drummond Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 02-25-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Historical Publisher's Summary: A young woman is found murderedand the clues to her death point to her spurned lover, Paul Cézanne In this richly atmospheric novel, a mysterious young woman named Solange Vernet arrives in Aix-en-Provence with her lover, a Darwinian scholar named Charles Westbury, and a year later is found strangled in a quarry outside the city. The young and inexperienced magistrate, Bernard Martin, finds his investigation caught in the crossfires of a raging cultural debate. Initially assuming that Solanges murder was a simple crime de passion by either a jealous Cézanne or a betrayed Westbury, Bernard soon finds himself on a mission to unravel the secrets of Solange and Cézannes hidden past - the key to which may be a series of his paintings which depict the strangulation and violation of a woman with golden-red hair. Exploring the questions of science and religion - and the role of women in these realms - that persist even today, Cézannes Quarry is an impressive debut mystery about life, death, love, and art. Critic Reviews: Could Paul Cézanne be a killer? Pope animates her canvas with plenty of vivid period detail. Francophiles and history buffs will find much to savor. A provocative debut." (Publishers Weekly) Cézanne's Quarry is a highly accomplished, compelling novel. Beneath an exquisite veneer of historical detail lurks a thoughtful exploration of science and religion, of old values and new, and of a woman's place in the world." (Hallie Ephron, The Boston Globe)

She finds Peggy in the woods, but the child is too sick to walk and it's too difficult for Miss Dimple to navigate the uneven terrain in the dark. Luckily, she comes upon the home of an elderly artist, Mae Martha, and her young companion, Suzy, who help ensure that Peggy returns home safe and sound. A few days later, however, Miss Dimple receives a frantic call from Suzy: Mae Martha has been murdered and Suzy is considered the most likely suspect because her family is Japanese. Miss Dimple and her fellow teachers, Annie and Charlie, don't buy it and set out to prove Suzy's innocence, only to discover danger where they least expect it. Quick thinking and loyal to a fault, Miss Dimple is an amateur sleuth who will always stand up for what's right.
