The house guests at Styles seemed perfectly to Captain Hastings: there was his own daughter Judith, an inoffensive ornithologist called Norton, dashing Mr Allerton, brittle Miss Cole, Doctor Franklin and his fragile wife Barbara, Nurse Craven, Colonel Luttrell and his charming wife Daisy, and the charismatic Boyd-Carrington.So Hastings was shocked when Poirot declared that one of them was a five-times murderer. True, the ageing detective was crippled with arthritis, but had his deductive instincts finally deserted him?...Review'First rate Christie: fast, complicated, wryly funny' Time 'Superb, vintage Christie' Sunday Express Review'First rate Christie: fast, complicated, wryly funny' Time 'Superb, vintage Christie' Sunday Express Views: 220

"A skillful, clever, and engrossing book." -Scotsman "It holds the attention of the reader from the first page to the last." -Yorkshire Post "Those who embark on \'The Mystery of Lincoln\'s Inn\' will not feel that they can quit the atmosphere of the Law Courts whilst it remains." -Gentlewoman "Mr. Robert Machray is not a man who believes in half measures; he means a mystery to be a mystery right up to the last chapter, and has evidently written \'The Mystery of Lincoln\'s Inn\' on this admirable principle. It is a most ingenious story, but it would be a shame to give Mr. Machray away by unfolding the details of his intricate plot. Suffice it to say that this is a tale of an unscrupulous lawyer who lived a double life and kept a secret drawer in his room, all of which led tot he undoing of his guileless partner." -The Bookman Views: 219

Home. A simple word; a loaded one. You can say it in a whisper; you can say it in a cry. Expressed in the voices of father and daughter, you can hear a visceral longing, in poems and prose, for an ideal place. A place never to be found again.Home. A simple word; a loaded one. You can say it in a whisper; you can say it in a cry. Expressed in the voices of father and daughter, you can hear a visceral longing, in poems and prose, for an ideal place. A place never to be found again. Imagine the shock, imagine the sadness when a daughter discovers her father’s work, the poetry he had never shared with anyone during the last two decades of his life. Six years after that moment of discovery, which happened in her childhood home while mourning for his passing, Uvi Poznansky presents a tender tribute: a collection of poems and prose, half of which is written by her, and half—by her father, the author, poet and artist Zeev Kachel. She has been translating his poems for nearly a year, with careful attention to rhyme and rhythm, in an effort to remain faithful to the spirit of his words. Zeev’s writing is always autobiographical in nature; you can view it as an ongoing diary of his life. Uvi’s writing is rarely so, especially when it comes to her prose. She is a storyteller who delights in conjuring up various figments of her imagination, and fleshing them out on paper. She sees herself chasing her characters with a pen, in an attempt to see the world from their point of view, and to capture their voices. But in some of her poems, she offers you a rare glimpse into her most guarded, intensely private moments, yearning for Home. Views: 218
