Summary

Described by Victor Hugo as ‘The Dickens of Paris’, Eugène Sue was a prolific author that popularised the genre of the serial novel in France. Sue wrote the much-admired and widely imitated ‘The Mysteries of Paris’, as well as many other sensational novels, exploring the seamy side of urban life.

    Short story "The Blue Cross" is Chesterton's first Father Brown mystery.
It introduces the characters Flambeau and Valentin. It is unique among the Father Brown mysteries in that it does not follow the actions of the Father himself, but rather those of Valentin.
Brown has been committing acts to draw the attention of the police (throwing soup, knocking over apples, smashing a window) and leaving an obvious trail for them to follow. Valentin takes this opportunity to emerge from hiding with the policemen and arrest Flambeau. Both Flambeau and Valentin bow to Father Brown's superior detective skills.

    A Connecticut dairy farmer expires in a corn maze in this "yummy new series" (Avery Aames, author of the Cheese Shop Mysteries). 
 
 
  
The small town of Frog Ledge, Connecticut, has wholeheartedly embraced Kristan "Stan" Connor's new business—preparing quality organic treats for dogs and cats. On a healthy diet, the animals may live longer . . . but one local farmer won't be so lucky. 
 
 
  
As Halloween approaches, Stan is asked to cater a doggie costume party hosted by the Happy Cow Dairy Farm. Part of a local co-op, Happy Cow specializes in organic dairy products, and farmers Hal and Emmalee Hoffman have started opening up the farm for parties, offering a "haunted" corn maze as an added attraction. 
 
 
  
When Hal's lifeless body is found in the maze, the police at first suspect his wife, but Stan soon learns the dairy farmer had plenty of enemies—from bitter family members to shady business associates. If Stan can't extract a kernel of truth from the labyrinth of lies, she may be the next one to buy the farm . . .
