Only Jake can jigsaw the clues into place - and she'd better do it fast, before a killer snares her in a trap she can't escape.

Jacobia Tiptree saved her sanity - and her son, Sam - the day she abandoned Wall Street for the seacoast village of Eastport, Maine. In her new home, a charmingly dilapidated fixer-upper, she looks forward to repairing old radiators and restoring antique shutters for years to come. But Jake's hopes of serenity are dashed when tiny Eastport erupts in a crime wave. Hometown bad boy Kenny Mumford - old flame of Jake's best friend and fellow sleuth, Ellie White - is the first victim.

The family has been described as “the factory that manufactures mankind.” Alas, many products of family life emerge damaged today.

Weakened family ties are a problem for all income levels, all races, all communities. And family breakdown is now at the root of our most worrisome social problems—drug abuse and crime, poverty, mass loneliness and ...

In Britain during the war years, the kitchen was governed not by choice, but by necessity. With rationing in place and supplies uncertain, households were required to prepare meals from what could be obtained. Meat was limited, flour was carefully managed, and nothing of value was wasted. Yet within these restrictions, meals were brought to the table with care, using methods that were practical, measured, and reliable. The Wartime Kitchen presents a carefully assembled collection of recipes and methods drawn from the everyday practices of the period. From soups and stocks to breads, ...
