Summary

In L. T. Meade's novel, 'The Honorable Miss,' readers are transported to the late 19th century where they follow the life of the protagonist, a young woman navigating the societal expectations and challenges of her time. Meade's writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions, engaging dialogues, and a keen attention to detail, immersing readers in the historical context of the story. The novel not only provides a glimpse into the lives of the British upper class but also delves into themes of love, duty, and personal growth. Meade's ability to weave together a compelling narrative while exploring complex social issues sets 'The Honorable Miss' apart in the literary landscape. As an accomplished author known for her works focusing on strong female characters and social injustices, L. T. Meade brings a unique perspective to 'The Honorable Miss.' Meade's own experiences and observations likely informed her portrayal of the protagonist's struggles and triumphs, adding depth and authenticity to the story. I highly recommend 'The Honorable Miss' to readers interested in historical fiction, feminist literature, and compelling character-driven narratives. Meade's masterful storytelling and insightful exploration of the human experience make this novel a timeless classic worth delving into.

    Perfect for fans of C. J. Box and William Kent Krueger, a sleepy town is rocked to its core when a dead body is found in this debut novel. 
 
 
 
In the quiet seaside town of Blaine, Washington, the most serious police work involves dealing with stray coyotes or ticketing speeders along the I-5. But on Ethan Brand's first day as the town's chief of police, he finds a threat on his porch, along with a gruesome souvenir, a bloody animal heart. 
 
 
 
There are plenty of people who are upset about Ethan replacing the last Chief, but when a body shows up on the railroad tracks, Ethan has to turn his focus from the threats against him to the first homicide case the town has seen in years. Blaine's population is only five thousand, but eight million vehicles pass through its railroad crossing every year. It's the perfect site for drug smuggling, human trafficking, larceny, and murder. 
 
 
 
Ethan begins to realize that the small town has many more secrets than its quiet surface suggests. With no one to trust, his job already on the line, and the threats getting bolder and more reckless, Ethan Brand must find the killers and bring them to justice before anyone else winds up dead.

    "Fast-paced and funny, this is a perfectly blended cocktail of escapism."—Publishers WeeklyWhen the most hated landlord in San Francisco takes a jump off the roof of his own building, it isn't hard to find suspects. The police want to call it a suicide, since both the Mayor and press are complaining about the dismal closure rate for homicide investigations.But ex-cop Sam McGowan knows it was murder. He also knows that anyone living on the top floor of the building should be a suspect, including himself. So Sam decides to get to know his neighbors: a lonely jazz singer more than willing to confess to any crime; two young women paying for graduate school by operating a website that reveals a lot more than their SAT scores; a B-movie producer with a swollen prostate and shrinking bank balance; and the brothers at the end of the hall who just quit their day jobs to sell marijuana for the Mexican mob.The only thing they have in common is an agreement that their dead landlord got what he deserved—and that one of them is probably responsible. As more bodies surface and alliances shift, Sam finds himself jumping between his old life as a cop and his new one as a murder suspect....
