 Murder in the Valley: A Dan McNulty Mystery
by Rick Marchetti
Retired police detective Dan McNulty is back with a new mystery to solve; the almost-fifty-year-old murder of a family of migrant farm workers. Their disappearance in Connecticut in 1964 was virtually ignored by the local police, as was the discovery of their bodies years later. But local doctor Richard Daniels, who was fascinated by police work, kept a file over the years documenting the case. After he dies, his son, Dr. Cole Daniels, gives the file to McNulty. Fascinated by the case, McNulty delves into the mystery.

 Wicked Conduct:The Minister, The Mill Girl, and the Murder that Captivated Old Rhode Islandby Rory Raven
A scribbled note is found belonging to Sarah M. Cornell, written the day her body was discovered hanged in a rural pasture in Tiverton. An unmarried young woman of limited means, Sarah was four months pregnant, and a married Methodist minister stood accused as the father. Local authorities grew skeptical of Sarah's apparent suicide as Reverend Avery's conduct appeared increasingly suspect, and eventually the extensive evidence of their tortured relationship set off a groundswell of public interest and media attention never before seen in 1830s New England. This tragic crime left the nation clamoring for justice and became one of early America's most sensational murder trials. |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Fans!
Your Wait Is Almost Over!
 
Life was better in the old days. Or was it?
That's the question Greg Heffley is asking as his town voluntarily unplugs and goes electronics-free. But modern life has its conveniences, and Greg isn't cut out for an old-fashioned world.
With tension building inside and outside the Heffley home, will Greg find a way to survive? Or is going "old school" just too hard for a kid like Greg?
