A smitten woman is about to marry a dangerous man—unless Detective Hooper and his new wife, Celia, can prevent it—in this wickedly tangled holiday mystery from bestselling author Anne Perry. Detective John Hooper, William Monk’s right-hand man at the Thames River Police, is blissfully happy in his new marriage to Celia, the cousin of a victim in one of the river police’s recent murder cases. Celia wants the same happiness for her good friend Clementine, who’s just announced her engagement to Seth Marlowe, a member of her church. Christmas is nearing, and this should be extra cause for celebration, but when Marlowe begins receiving threatening letters about his first wife’s death, it becomes clear that he is far from the devout man Clementine thought he was. In his rage, Marlowe accuses Celia of sending the letters, claiming she wants to ruin his engagement to Clementine. At a loss as to how to defend herself, Celia enlists Hooper to investigate the letters’ claims, and what he finds makes her desperate to show Clementine the truth about her soon-to-be husband. But Celia herself has not always been truthful, especially not during the murder trial following her cousin’s death. How can she be believed now, when she lied on the stand? Especially when Marlowe knows that she did, and could use it against her. This Yuletide season finds love and faith put to the test—and Celia’s and Clementine’s lives on the line.

Miss Fisher meets Downton Abbey in this critically acclaimed mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Shelley Noble. Roasted chestnuts from vendor’s carts, fresh cut spruce trees lining the sidewalks, extravagant gifts, opulent dinners, carols at St Patrick’s Cathedral, a warm meal and a few minutes shelter from the cold at one of the charitable food lines . . . It’s Christmas in Gilded Age Manhattan. And for the first time ever an amazing giant ball will drop along a rod on the roof of the New York Times building to ring in the New Year. Everyone plans to attend the event. But the murder of a prominent newsman hits a little too close to home. And when a young newspaper woman, a protégé of the great Jacob Riis and old Vassar school chum of Bev’s, is the target of a similar attack, it is clear this is not just a single act of violence but a conspiracy of malicious proportions. Really, you’d think murderers would take a holiday. Something absolutely must be done. And Lady Dunbridge is happy to oblige in A Resolution at Midnight, the third book in this delightful series.

We are swiftly moving into the final days of the end-time and it is alarming to hear people referring to our great nation as "A New Religious America." Patrick Henry stated, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation of America was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This motto was adopted due to the fact that Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation. ALL CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS, you are important, and your voice needs to be heard NOW in a world that has plunged into the dark night of sin. The Christian that wants to learn more with clarity and accuracy what the Bible says concerning the churches responsibility in the last days on Planet Earth and the Second Coming of Christ will appreciate this book. Dr. Ralph J. McIntyre, is a World War Two combat veteran who has witnessed first-hand some of the sacrifice that has been paid in protecting and preserving our great Christian nation, America. After his war days Ralph met and married his wife Frances in 1946. In 1953 their lives found new directions as they surrendered to a call of God. After a period of studies he was ordained into the ministry.
