Synopsis

In the Dead of Night (Vol. 1-3) by T. W. Speight is a captivating exploration of suspense and the intricacies of the human psyche. Spanning three volumes, the narrative intricately weaves together themes of horror, morality, and the supernatural, set against a richly detailed Victorian backdrop. With its vivid characterizations and lush descriptions, Speight employs a gothic style that invites readers into the dark and eerie corners of the human experience. The novel reflects the societal anxieties of the late 19th century, particularly concerning the unknown and the macabre, thus situating itself within a broader literary context of gothic fiction of the era. T. W. Speight, a prolific writer of his time, was profoundly influenced by the turbulent events surrounding him, as well as the burgeoning fascination with psychological horror. His extensive travels and experiences enriched his narrative style, imbuing his characters with complex motivations and desires. Speight'Äôs engagement with the supernatural and moral dilemmas reflects a keen interest in human nature, making his work both relevant and resonant for contemporary readers. I highly recommend In the Dead of Night for enthusiasts of gothic literature and those who appreciate a sophisticated blend of suspense and psychological depth. Speight's masterful storytelling promises to enthrall readers, inviting them to ponder the boundaries of morality and the haunting shadows of the human soul.

    When Olive Wallace offers to take several friends and relatives on a once-in-a-lifetime bus tour through post-WWII Europe, they all jump at the chance—even though Olive can be petty, demanding, and judgmental. But do they really care about seeing the wonders of Europe—the magnificent Roman temples and the majesty of Carcassonne, an ancient, fortified city in southern France—or are they just trying to stay in Olive’s good graces? Olive Wallace, after all, is extremely wealthy. And she is extremely outspoken about who she intends to leave her money to—or not leave it to—when she dies. Olive changes her will on a whim, and every person on the trip knows it. On a bridge near Avignon, Olive is accidentally bumped into the river—or was she pushed? Days later, she is suspiciously nudged down the steps at the Nimes Colosseum. When Olive suffers a third accident in the narrow cobblestone streets of Carcassonne, she becomes convinced that somebody—one of her closest friends, perhaps—is out to murder her!

    A youth trip turns deadly, and Chief of Police Arly Hanks must catch the killer while serving as chaperone, in this hilarious small-town mystery. 
     
     
     
    Arly Hanks has caught all sorts of killers since she returned home to Maggody, Arkansas, population 759, but she's never tangled with anyone as devious as the local youth group. While chaperoning a trip to Camp Pearly Gates, Arly watches the kids as closely as she would any hardened criminal, but when teenagers have a mind to get into trouble, there's nothing a police chief can do but limit the damage. She's just about got the situation under control when one of the kids finds a body, and all hell breaks loose in classic Maggody manner. 
     
     
      
    The murdered woman sports a shaved head and a white robe, marking her as a Moonbeam, a member of a particularly kooky local cult. And caught between the sect and the law, Arly may be forced to sacrifice what little sanity she has left. 
     
     
      
    Nobody pokes fun at religion quite as effectively as Joan Hess. This is another laugh-out-loud entry in one of the funniest mystery series of all time.
