Picking up where Berton Roueché's The Medical Detectives left off, The Deadly Dinner Party presents fifteen edge-of-your-seat, real-life medical detective stories written by a practicing physician. Award-winning author Jonathan Edlow, M.D., shows the doctor as detective and the epidemiologist as elite sleuth in stories that are as gripping as the best thrillers.In these stories a notorious stomach bug turns a suburban dinner party into a disaster that almost claims its host; a diminutive woman routinely eats more than her football-playing boyfriend but continually loses weight; a young executive is diagnosed with lung cancer, yet the tumors seem to wax and wane inexplicably. Written for the lay person who wishes to better grasp how doctors decipher the myriad clues and puzzling symptoms they often encounter, each story presents a very different case where doctors must work to find the accurate diagnosis before it is too late. Edlow uses his unique ability to relate complex medical concepts in a writing style that is clear, engaging and easily understandable. The resulting stories both entertain us and teach us much about medicine, its history and the subtle interactions among pathogens, humans, and the environment.
A WhoDunnit short story takes place in a small country town called Oakley, Tennessee. There are only 10 people in attendance at the annual town meeting dinner where a murder has taken place. Will they find the murderer before someone else dies or will a revelation of secrets and scandals end up becoming the death of them all?
Emmy’s not new in the sleuthing game. She figured out who was behind the murders that almost ruined her family, she was able to help out a ghost who needed to figure out who killed her, and she thought that the dark days are over...but now, it feels like they’re starting all over again. After being invited to a dinner party at the Byrne's house because of a new business deal that Emmy's dad ventured in, Emmy and Daniel, alongside the rest of the guests were surprised to find Wendy, Emmy and Dan's cat, jumping on one of the guests: A man named Caleb Roberts--Troy Byrne's new business partner. Is Wendy just being catty? Or is there anything else--something graver, crazier--that Emmy should know, especially because that same night, Caleb's wife, Rose, was found dead? Seems like there's a killer on the loose--and it's up to Emmy and Wendy to figure out the truth. Read how it all goes in The Sky Valley Cozy Mystery Cat Series Book 1: The Cat Who Smelled Murder Out now!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver comes the first book of the Scholomance trilogy, the story of an unwilling dark sorceress who is destined to rewrite the rules of magic. FINALIST FOR THE LODESTAR AWARD • “The dark school of magic I’ve been waiting for.”—Katherine Arden, author of the Winternight Trilogy I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world. At least, that’s what the world expects. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me like one more evil thing that’s crawled out of the drains. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. The school certainly does. But the Scholomance isn’t getting what it wants from me. And neither is Orion Lake. I may not be anyone’s idea of the shining hero, but I’m going to make it out of this place alive, and I’m not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either. Although I’m giving serious consideration to just one. With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a school bursting with magic like you’ve never seen before, and a heroine for the ages—a character so sharply realized and so richly nuanced that she will live on in hearts and minds for generations to come. The magic of the Scholomance trilogy continues in The Last Graduate “The can’t-miss fantasy of fall 2020, a brutal coming-of-power story steeped in the aesthetics of dark academia. . . . A Deadly Education will cement Naomi Novik’s place as one of the greatest and most versatile fantasy writers of our time.”—BookPage (starred review) “A must-read . . . Novik puts a refreshingly dark, adult spin on the magical boarding school. . . . Readers will delight in the push-and-pull of El and Orion’s relationship, the fantastically detailed world, the clever magic system, and the matter-of-fact diversity of the student body.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Six months ago, Ruby Kline, Daniel’s ex-girlfriend hired Emmy to be her wedding coordinator...and then Ruby died after her car fell off a cliff which prompted Emmy to break up with Daniel, her boyfriend. After a while and a whole lot of confusion, Emmy thought that she finally found love again in the arms of Frank Holt, the new guy, who actually turned out to be someone whom Emmy couldn’t trust—and that thought almost killed her.

So returning to London after seven months' seclusion may have been a mistake. Alec's foreboding deepens when a nobody vicar drops dead at a party-political dinner; he witnesses the very public humiliation of an up-and-coming portrait painter, and his rabble-rousing uncle Plantagenet is bashed and left for dead in a laneway.
