A lady has been struck down with a finial from the terrace balustrade. Her family is present, as are the cream of the haut ton-the shocked hosts turn to Barnaby and Penelope for help.Barnaby calls in Inspector Basil Stokes and they begin their investigation. Penelope assists by learning all she can about the victim's family, and uncovers a feud between them and the Latimers over the fabulous shoes known as Lady Latimer's shoes, currently exclusive to the Latimers. The deeper Penelope delves, the more convinced she becomes that the murder is somehow connected to the shoes. She conscripts Griselda, Stokes's wife, and Violet Montague, now Penelope's secretary, and the trio set out to learn all they can about the people involved, and most importantly the shoes, a direction vindicated when unexpected witnesses report seeing a lady fleeing the scene-wearing Lady Latimer's shoes.But nothing is as it seems, and the more Penelope and her friends learn about the shoes, conundrums abound, compounded by a Romeo-and-Juliet romance and escalating social pressure...until at last the pieces fall into place, and finally understanding what has occurred, the six intrepid investigators race to prevent an even worse tragedy.A pre-Victorian mystery with strong elements of romance.

-Studs Terkel Laughing wild amid severest woe perfectly describes the fiercely ironic comedy of Christopher Durang s Laughing Wild (which takes its title from this Thomas Gray quotation via Samuel Beckett) and the previously unpublished Baby with the Bathwater. In Laughing Wild, two comic monologues evolve into a man and a woman s shared nightmare of modern life and the isolation it creates. From her turf battles at the supermarket to the desperate cliches of self-affirmation he learns at his personality workshop, they run the gamut of everyday life s small brutalizations until they meet, with disastrous inevitability, at the Harmonic Convergence in Central Park." This book presents 30 tasty and simple treats to make at home. On each page there is a mouth-watering photograph of the finished The Curious Case of Lady Latimer's Shoes free ebook dish and clear, step-by-step picture instructions for how to make it. The recipes include chocolate brownies, mini meringues, raspberry icecream and ginger star biscuits. It is spiral bound to allow easy use and transportation, and means no card will ever get lost!
