Haunt Me Still
by Jennifer Lee CarrellA legendary theatrical curse. . . A rune-engraved blade, a mysterious mirror, and an ancient cauldron. . . And a ritually murdered body laid out in the manner of ancient pagan burials. Kate Stanley, Jennifer Lee Carrell's dauntless Shakespearean scholar- turned-director, made a memorable-and New York Timesbestselling-debut in Interred with Their Bones. Having chased down her mother's killer (and recovering one of Shakespeare's lost plays in the process), Kate's fame as a director with an expertise in "occult Shakespeare" catapults her-and Ben Pearl, her partner in crime- solving-into a new production of Macbeth, showcasing a fabled collection of objects relating both to the play and the historical Scottish king for whom it is named. The Bard's darkest play is famously cursed, its reputation for malevolence so strong that many actors refuse to quote or even name the play aloud. And as rehearsals begin at the foot of Scotland's Dunsinnan Hill, it doesn't take long for the curse to stir. Strange references to the boy actor who first played Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare's day-and died in the role-pop up. A trench atop Dunsinnan Hill is found filled with blood, and a severed human thumb turns up among the props. And Kate begins sleepwalking, waking early one morning alone atop the hill, her hands smeared in blood. Kate has no memory of how she got there, but later that day a local woman is found dead on the hill in circumstances that suggest not just ritual murder but ancient pagan sacrifice. With the police more focused on Kate as a suspect than as a possible future victim, she and Ben find themselves in a desperate race to discover a lost version of Macbeth, said to contain rituals of witchcraft aimed at conjuring demonic forces to gain forbidden knowledge. However much Kate would like to dismiss such rituals as superstition, someone else appears willing to kill for them-and for the manuscript said to spell them out.

Haunt of the Nightingale: A Garth Ryland Mystery (Garth Ryland Mystery #4)
by John R. RiggsAs Christmas approaches a string of footprints tracked in the season's first snow leads Garth Ryland to his own barn and a stranger armed with an ax she knows how to use--Garth can tell by her stance. Even though she doesn't answer his cautious questions, even though it's his barn, something in her bearing, something in her silence, something in her cornflower blue eyes lets him let her be. Shortly after the stranger's arrival Will Cripe and Paul Peters disappear and some folks around town take a different attitude toward the ax-armed blond. A few think she escaped from the prison up north. Others think she's Annie Lawson, come back for revenge. No one's seen Annie or her abusive husband since they both dropped out of sight seven years ago. If she can take care of one man, couldn't she take an ax to another? Garth doesn't believe the woman who haunts his barn, who can't speak, but can sing like a nightingale, would send a man to his grave, and he does what he can to protect her privacy. But Will Cripe, an aging, dying sage, Garth's boyhood mentor, manhood friend, and Paul Peters, a diffident, cynical man who wasted more talent than any other person in Oakalla, had only one thing in common, other than disappearing at about the same time: Seven years ago they both loved a woman named Annie Lawson. These mysteries are all set in Oakalla, Wisconsin, a very small town that is a combination of two great American classics: exterior by Norman Rockwell, interior by Edgar Allan Poe. Bookshare's library contains many more books in the Garth Ryland series including: The Last Laugh, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, The Glory Hound, One Man's Poison, Killing Frost, Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, Cold Hearts and Gentle People, Snow on the Roses, The Lost Scout, He Who Waits, Dead Letter, A Dragon Lives Forever, Hunting Ground, and Cold Rain.
